With Bulletproofing Pins, our first instructor course now live, we'd like to outline what you can expect from the Academy in 2018. Our course development approach has been synthesized from experience gained building our first instructor course and feedback we've received from the community.
This post was originally an 8 minute livestream video until it was forever lost by Facebook's page admin tools. Now it's a short written overview.
Instructor Course Objectives
The Academy's courses are not designed to replace or be a substitute for the mentor/disciple relationship that is the true foundation for development of aikido practitioners and instructors. Our instructor programs are intended to use the unique resources and assets of Aikido Journal to further strengthen our instructors' capabilities in a way that is complementary and additive to the direct training and guidance instructors already receive from their mentors and organizations.
Course Types
We'll start with three types of courses – progressive, classical, and non-technical. We'll develop one progressive course (Bulletproofing Pins is our first), followed by a classical course and finally a non-technical course. We'll then repeat the cycle and move on to a new progressive course. Our goal is to design and produce 4 new courses in 2018.
1. Progressive
For these programs, we'll collaborate with a subject matter expert(s) who brings deep domain expertise within the area of focus for the course. The courses will be designed to help us to explore concepts of interest to our community with experts that bring a different perspective and valuable skill set.
Some in the community are interested in learning how they can flow into techniques they are already very skilled with (like iriminage) from attacks like kicks, jabs, and crosses. . Others topics with high levels of community interest are tanto-dori (knife control) and internal power.
Not everyone in the community will be interested in these courses and they're not designed to be of interest to everyone. These programs are designed for those within the community who are very interested in exploring in these areas. Some instructors won't have any interest in progressive topics, some may enroll in the courses for their own continuing education but never teach any course material in their dojos. Some may like one or two elements from a course and find great ways to integrate it into their aikido, and some may even be inspired to dig much deeper and become a new specialized knowledge resource for the community.
We don't believe everyone in the aikido world needs to focus on these kinds of topics, but we do believe it's healthy for us to have a group within the larger aikido ecosystem that explores progressive topics, is interested in seeing what other people are doing, and seeks to find ways to integrate new concepts and skills into their aikido. Many of O-Sensei's direct students learned from martial artists outside the aikido world and brought that knowledge into their expressions of the art. We think this is still a worthwhile endeavor for some within our art to pursue, and we want to do our part to empower them to do so.
2. Classical
The next course from the Academy will be a classical course. These courses will be beautiful showcases of traditional aikido, led by some of our greatest masters. These programs will be beautifully produced and something the entire aikido world can be proud of. Classical course curriculum will be targeted to have maximum impact for instructors and will be designed to ensure high levels of relevance for practitioners of all styles of aikido.
Classical courses will showcase traditional aikido technique and weave in important elements of aikido philosophy, history, and culture. We're now in the planning stages of our first classical course and are very excited about it. We look forward to updating you on our first classical instructor course in the not too distant future.
3. Non-Technical
Some instructors within our community are very interested in non-technical topics. Courses without any specific technique-based instruction. Some want to know how to run dojo operations more successfully or are interested in seeing different approaches to program design. Others are interested in digging deeper into anatomy and biomechanics. We do quite a few joint locks in aikido. Some are interested in learning how the joint system works in the human body. We also have many masters and veteran practitioners with knee injuries. Some instructors are interested in getting new perspectives from top movement performance specialists on how we might be able to optimize our movements or tune training methods to minimize long-term wear and tear knee injuries.
Top topics of interest within this category are Art of the Dojo (success stories, tools, and guidance for dojo operations and leadership) and program design and community building for kids. Aikido Journal thinks its very healthy that some within the aikido community are interested in these topics and we want to support those that wish to seek in this area. We believe that for veteran practitioners and instructors, these kinds of skills can be valuable additions to our knowledge base.
We'll begin work on our first non-technical course after we finish production on our first classical course.
Help us with our next course
We'd encourage you to explore Bulletproofing Pins, our first progressive instructor course. We'll be using both community feedback and usability data from the course to drive a cycle of improvements before we finalize planning for our next course. The structure for our first classical course may be different from our progressive course template, but we still expect to get valuable insights from Bulletproofing Pins that we'll use to improve our next course.
If you don't like the course, or find the topic's not relevant to you, Aikido Journal will happily give you a full refund. We hope you'll take a look and let us know what you think.

Benzodiazipine Rehab
Learning about benzodiazipines is integral to making the right decision regarding a benzodiazipine rehab program for yourself or your loved one. Benzodiazepines are minor tranquilisers, prescribed in medical settings for a variety of reasons, such as alcohol withdrawal, anxiety, and insomnia. They come in the form of tablets, which can be a whole spectrum of different colours. Drugs classed as benzodiazepines include diazepam (Valium), temazepam and flunitrazepam (Rohypnol). The potentially serious side effects and withdrawal symptoms makes drug rehab a worthwhile option for people who are addicted to benzodiazepines.
Benzodiazepines are normally taken orally. They come in tablet or capsule form, and are relatively fast-acting. Most users begin to feel effects within a quarter of an hour of dosing, and they continue for around 6 hours. It's also possible to find the drugs in the form of suppositories (which are inserted into the person's bottom), but this isn't common when they're being used recreationally. Some users will crush the pills up and create a solution which can be injected. This opens up risks associated with contaminated needles and can cause damage to the veins.
As tranquilizers, benzodiazepines sedate the user, slowing reaction times and causing lethargy, forgetfulness and drowsiness. They are used as anti-anxiety medicines, and therefore also work to make the user feel more relaxed and alleviate stress. The drugs depress the nervous system, which results in a slowing of reaction times and propensity to sleep. People who are using benzodiazepines will be tranquil and inactive, rather than hyped-up like they would be on many other drugs.
The ease with which people can build a tolerance to benzodiazepines means that most official prescriptions for them will be on a short-term basis. Research has shown that after two weeks of continued use they are no longer effective as sleeping pills, and after four months they don't help with anxiety anymore. This indicates that the brain has adapted in order to better deal with the drug and will soon become dependent. Dependence means that the brain feels like it needs the drug in order to function "normally."
The most serious risks of benzodiazepines are those associated with withdrawal. When an addict stops taking the drug, his or her brain begins to clamour for it, and they become severely anxious and irritable. The withdrawal of the chemical also causes nausea, insomnia and headaches as the body re-adjusts, which often drives users back to the drug. Drug rehab programs have to take this process into account because in some cases the consequences can be more severe. For example, if a person is taking high doses and suddenly stops, they are at additional risk from convulsions, which can be fatal.
Drug rehab centres treat addiction to benzodiazepines with a gradually reduced dosage and psychological counselling. The severity of the sudden withdrawal symptoms means that taking incrementally smaller doses is actually much safer than stopping straight away. Counselling will be offered as part of the drug rehab program to identify and tackle the underlying issues which originally drove the person to drugs. This combined approach reduces the likelihood of relapse.
If you or a loved one is abusing benzodiazepines, drug rehab programs can help you get clean and stay clean. We have a detailed knowledge of the different centres available and the particular therapeutic models they favour. If you're having trouble making a decision, we can explain the options to you in plain English and help you work out which drug rehab program is best for you. Our advice is completely free, so pick up the phone and see what help we can offer you.

Three Michigan entrants – Detroit Athletic Club (DAC), Diva Tech Talk and Michigan Radio — made repeat appearances on the annual roster of national AWC Clarion winners. This year they took top honors in marketing communications campaigns, logo design, sports photography and various radio categories.
The DAC Communications Department, headed by Ken Voyles, received Clarions in three different categories. The best marketing communications campaign (budget under $100,000) went to the entire Communications team for the design and messaging of the Edge Challenge program. The Club's Detroit Cycling Championship received the top award in Sports Photography for a shot by Cybelle Codish and in logo design for the work of Amanda Fairchild.
Our members Nicole Scheffler and Kathleen Norton-Schock, co-founders of Diva Tech Talk, dominated the Radio category for the third year in a row with wins for a documentary series and women's issues programming.
Also in the Radio category, April Van Buren, reporter/producer for State of Opportunity on Michigan Radio, won for a feature story about the 4th Wall Theatre Company, which gives kids with disabilities a chance to shine on stage. Michigan Radio has been a frequent Clarion winner. (See list below.)

The Coastal Plain region of Virginia has several main industries; including shipbuilding, tourism, and federal military installations. Data recently released by the U.S. Travel Association shows tourism revenue for Virginia Beach reached $1.4 billion in 2015, a 2.4 percent increase over 2014, and local tourism-supported jobs totaled 12,924. The increase is largely attributed to Virginia's authentic, local travel experiences, diversity of tourism product, and the notable efforts of the destination marketing organizations and their leadership.
"All it takes is one exploration gone wrong to do immeasurable harm to major economic drivers including tourism, fishing, aquaculture, and our military installations," said Governor Ralph Northam. Four military bases in Virginia Beach have a tremendous economic impact on the region, with the Department of Defense spending $11 billion in 2002, and increasing in following years due to the War with Iraq. The bases include Oceana Naval Air Station, the largest master jet base in the United States, employing 12,000; Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base, which employs 13,000; Fort Story, which conducts amphibious training operations and employs approximately 1,200 military and civilian personnel; and Dam Neck, a training base for combat direction and control systems, which employs 4,700 persons.

Pervasive Korea in US, China, Vietnam...
SK Telecom seems to speed up its internationalization process, more than doubling its subscriber base in Vietnam within one year to reach the 1M mark and targeting 4M by the end of 2008, which would at last sound like a significant position overseas.
But investors tend to be more impressed by less spectacular moves on more demanding markets and Helio doesn't seem to claim many customers in the US. Yet, SKT's UI, T-PAK, is coming up on some Motorola handsets soon. And NATE just locked interesting deals on mobile search engines with Google, and on telematics and in-car entertainment with GM Daewoo cars (TTM 2008) : telematics through NATE Drive, movies through Cizle, music through MelOn... Korea's leading cellco is eventually leveraging on its Jeju Telematics trials*.
Middleware, content and enablers are a surer bet than airwaves, even if Korea Inc keeps pushing its own technos : strong presence during the 2006 China Int'l DAB/DMB Forum & Expo in Beijing, recent deal clinched on WiBro in the US**...
Airwaves do cross the seas, but the other way : W-CDMA / HSDPA were already gaining momentum thanks to SKT and KTF, and now LG Telecom announces GSM-enabled phones by the end of the year. Of course, LGT will invest KRW 400 bn in EV-DO rA over 3 years (including 170 BS in Seoul), but only 15 will be spent by the end of 2006 instead of the 40 planned earlier.
* see "Jeju Telematics celebrates the wedding of GPS and DMB" (20060510)
** Neupara from Columbia, MD (neupara.com), chose POSDATA for its 2.3GHz WiBro trial in the US. Posco's subsidiary joins Samsung in the US market and Neupara keeps pushing Korean technologies after T-DMB in India. Its CEO, Mr John J. Shin, happens to be a Korean-American.

- Featuring: Paul DeCotis
- Industry: Energy & Utilities
Paul discusses potential changes facing the utilities industry with the incoming administration.
With the coming changes in Washington, with Republicans controlling the White House and both houses of Congress, one might expect drastic changes in federal energy and environmental policy. Given the president-elect's campaign rhetoric, voters were led to believe change would be swift and impactful.
There would be an almost immediate reversal of decades of progress made in advancing technological development and creating new jobs, and spurring whole new industries to address environmental issues and a transition to a clean energy economy. Watching the nomination and appointments process for cabinet members and other executive branch leadership, there is a belief by many media outlets and pundits that we will see radical change and policy reversals roll out very quickly. While this is a possibility, we should look at the process and facts surrounding our democracy and transition of power in Washington before jumping to conclusions.

In October, Trai had amended the Telecom Consumers Protection Regulations, 2015, to mandate Re 1 compensation per call drop to consumers with a cap of three call drops a day.
Shares of Bharti Airtel, the largest telecom operator, dropped 2.78 per cent to hit a low of Rs 331.05 on BSE. Idea Cellular, the third largest telecom operator, declined 2.62 per cent to Rs 139.10.
Brokerage Edelweiss Securities in a recent note said a 1 per cent call drop may impact FY17 Ebitda of Bharti Airtel and Idea by 1.1 per cent and 2.1 per cent, respectively. A 2 per cent drop would hurt Ebitda of the two telecom operators by 2.1 per cent and 4.2 per cent, respectively, assuming a 90 second average call duration.
Shares of Reliance Communications (RCom) fell 3.03 per cent to Rs 87.80. The stock had hit a 52-week high of Rs 91.80 on Friday.
The Delhi High Court last month directed the regulator not to take any coercive action against the telecom players for not implementing the latter's order until the next date of hearing, which is January 6. While the telecom industry interpreted the interim order as a 'stay' on the Trai order, the letter sent by Trai sought to suggest otherwise, The Economic Times reported.

Hey there, how've you been?
It's been a while since I last updated my blog.
I've been super duper busy with zooming around, working on fun projects and creating all kinds of new artwork.
But I decided it was about time for an update and I wanted to share something fun with you.
A little while ago I licensed (thanks to my lovely agent Jennifer Nelson) a couple of designs with the kind people of Calypso Cards.
Calypso Cards is a company that publishes and distributes contemporary greeting cards and related gift products that are sold through specialist retailers in the US and Canada. The company is a woman-owned business and produces environmentally friendly products (YAY).
All their publications and envelops?use recycled content and they're printing the stuff with vegetable or soy-based inks.
The other day, I received a package with samples of one of the designs I made, and I have to say I was really?pleased.
The colours turned out simply amazing and exactly how they were meant to be. And they added just the right amount of glitter for a touch of sweetness.
All with all, I couldn't be happier with the result.
Here are some photos of the card.
If you're curious for the other designs I made for them, please have a look at my gallery on the website.
Most of them are Christmas designs though, so they won't be available in the stores yet.
(Sometimes I wished I lived in the USA so I could see my products on the shelves with my own eyes, haha.)
Wishing you a lovely day!
See it shine!

Reviews of Directions Poppy Red
Pink toned red that fades to a hot pink colour, really rich and true red and the start. Didnt last quite as long as Pillarbox on my natural hair, but looks impressive on bleached hair.
Really, really bright on bleached hair, but it turned very pink after only a couple of washes, especially at the roots, where my hair hadn't been coloured with anything else.
I actually only bought this colour because 'Pillarbox red' was out of stock, but I am so glad I did! I actually had some red coulour put through a 'slice' under my right side at the hairdressers but it came out a brown/bronze colour. So I put this over it at home and it looks amazing - Very much a hot pink red, with some bits lighter than others (depending on where I had blonde or bronze hair under fringe). I have had loads of compliments and it certainly stands out very bright on blonde/bleached hair and gives my darker hair a red/pink overtone. The lighter your hair the more Hot Pink/red it looks judging from mine. It washed away in the bathroom easily, but was a little more diffcult to get off my skin (I had worn gloves, but it's been a while since i did this and managed to get some on my cheek and wrists), but with some diltuted kitchen spray/bleach this came right out to. I only did under my fringe and right side, so only had to use 1/4 of a tub. Definetly value for money and would recommend - even if it's been a while since you did it - but recommend the tips on vaseline on your hairline, etc as on the website. Overall really pleased : )
This was a really bright beautiful red when I first applied it but after just one wash it had faded a bit and orange tones were coming through so I'll need to keep topping this one up for it to stay true red. Maybe after a few applications it might have more lasting power.
Dyed my natural light brown hair using this, came out very bright! It's a lovely colour, however it is a very pink-toned red, so if you like that sort of thing. Great though, 5 star.
A lovely, rich red when first applied to pre-lightened hair, but it quickly faded to a dull and more orange shade for me.
It was okay at first, a bit to the orange side, but faded super fast. Not a big fan.
Such a gorgeous pink-based red! The first time I used it was to refresh my permanent red hair color and now I'm using it mixed with Cerise to achieve a more pink and less purple magenta. It's super bright and it looks amazing on bleached hair, I would totally recommend it to anyone who wants a vibrant red dye with pink undertones that doesn't fade to orange (depending on your base color).
I mixed 1/3 of the Poppy red with 2/3 of Pillarbox red and diluted the mix with conditioner but it still came out very pink (on bleached hair) and seemed to overtake the other colour so the finished colour was more of a pink than a red. It's very bright and I thought it was pretty but my daughter didn't like it because she wanted more of a true red.

Psychoanalytic Theory - New Ideas
Author: Wilma Bucci
Title: Dual coding: A cognitive model for psychoanalytic research
Details: from Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, Vol. 33(3), 1985, 571-607, republished in 2002
URL: http://apa.sagepub.com/content/33/3/571
• -requires APA account to access
This study, done by Bucci in 1985 is seminal in that Bucci further explored the possibilities of psychoanalytic theory by proposing that human beings have multiple systems of experiencing, processing and thus understanding the world. In this particular work, which is Bucci's earliest attempt at exploring multiple processing systems, she first proposed the 'dual code theory' which is the verbal and nonverbal processing of information/stimuli connected by a referential linking system. To her, sometimes this connection can be incomplete, and is also subject to emotive elements, especially when processing non-verbal stimuli (i.e. ...
Solution Summary
The solution provides information, assistance and advise in tackling the task (see above) on the topic of new ideas and theories in psychoanalysis. The solution presents the work of Bucci on dual/multiple codes. Resources are listed for further exploration of the topic.

When it comes to breastfeeding, a good deal of criticism has fallen on the humble breast. Some believe that small breasted women will find breastfeeding next to impossible. Others consider breastfeeding with large breasts to be the true bugbear. The truth is that the size of your breasts has no bearing on how much milk you will produce or ease of breastfeeding. Common myths about breastfeeding with large breasts include:
If you are breastfeeding with large breasts your first consideration is probably the size of your breast relative to the size of your baby and how both you and s/he can be comfortable when feeding. Positions that seemed to work well for women with large breasts include the cradle hold and the football hold. Lying down to breastfeed can also work well, although it obviously has its limitations as a position when you are out and about.
Feeding pillows can be of great assistance when you are first learning to breastfeed, by helping you to position your baby and alleviating their weight. Over time though women who are breastfeeding with large breasts may well find pillows are unnecessary or worse, a hindrance. Because your breasts are larger, your baby needs to be much lower down to feed and so some or perhaps all of their weight can be supported by your lap.
If you find your breasts reach your lap and positioning your baby is difficult, The Utterly Yours™ Breast Pillow can help. Placed under the breast The Utterly Yours™ Breast Pillow lifts and supports the breast while feeding. A towel rolled up and placed in the crease under your breast, may also be an effective solution. In addition to removing the need to lift the breast up to feed your baby, supporting the breast also helps to prevent your baby's nose being covered, enabling them to breathe and feed better.
Perhaps the most important moment in any successful feed is the moment when your baby latches on. Many breastfeeding difficulties are caused by a poor latch so if you can achieve a good one you are probably three quarters of the way to success! When breastfeeding with large breasts many women find the C-hold can be useful in helping to shape and control their breast position while baby is latching on. The C-hold enables you to see your nipple better and bring baby to the breast more smoothly.
The C-hold quite literally involves cupping the breast, with your hand in a C-shape. The palm of your hand is placed against the breast, your thumb above your areola (the coloured ring around your nipple) and your fingers under your breast. Gentle support the breast rather than squeezing it (squeezing can cause pain and blocked milk ducts). You can use either hand to create the C-hold, whichever feels most comfortable. Now you have some control over one side of the breastfeeding equation it's time to turn your attention to the other – positioning your baby.
The best position for your baby when breastfeeding with large breasts or smaller ones is the same. Position your baby so their chin is touching the breast, and their head is tilted back away from the breast. This leaves the nose clear to enable better breathing – no need for that aforementioned finger! This is also the best position to avoid nipple damage during feeding.
When positioning your baby it can be useful to use the hand on the same side you are feeding from to create the C-hold and your other arm to gentle support baby's back. This will allow you to bring baby to breast with your breast cupped and ready, and baby supported, chin to breast and nose away. Be sure your breast remains supported during the feed so its weigh does not pull any of the breast from your baby's mouth. This can turn a good latch into a poor one, interrupt the feed and result in damage to your nipples.
When first learning the art of breastfeeding, the idea of doing so in public can seem daunting. You may be concerned about discretion and privacy, and also how you will manage without them if you are accustomed to using feeding pillows.
Many shopping centres now include parenting rooms which have discreet feeding areas. This can help to provide a more comfortable place to feed as well as removing the distractions of bright lights and bustling people from a little one who wants to look at everything! Some rooms are better kitted out than others so it pays to go on a recognisance mission before you give birth and check out all the shopping centres in the area. If only they knew that where a breastfeeding mother spends her shopping dollar might well come down to the quality of their feeding facilities!
If a feeding room isn't available, wearing loose fitting clothing can help to make draping much easier when breastfeeding with large breasts. Placing your pram in from of you can also provide a little more privacy.
When breastfeeding with large breasts mothers may well find those around them attribute any breastfeeding issues to the size of their breasts. A mother with large breasts may be self-conscious about their size. She may also have developed a negative self-concept towards her breasts as a result of years of struggling to find bras that fit, enduring back pain from the weight, and sweltering through hot, sticky summers. However when it comes to breastfeeding with large breasts, there are some distinct advantages:
Confidence and determination are the key to breastfeeding success. However especially with your first baby, confidence may be in short supply. The good news is there is help out there. Speak to your doctor or midwife about any concerns you may have and have your breasts checked if this will help to alleviate you concerns.
If you are experiencing difficulties you may find a lactation consultant helpful – a midwife particularly skilled in supporting breastfeeding. The PBB Health Centre runs a Drop-in Breastfeeding Clinic and other similar services may be available in your area. The Australian Breastfeeding Association also runs Breastfeeding Support Groups and a free Mum 2 Mum Breastfeeding Helpline staffed by trained, volunteer counsellors who are also breastfeeding mothers – 1800 686 268.
Most importantly trust and respect your breasts and seek help from those who have walked the mothering road, breastfeeding with large breasts!

Water Birth Questions You May Need Answered
Posted on: 30 December 2014Share
Having a baby can be one of the most exciting, stressful and joyous times in your life. However, there are many different options available to expectant mothers, and choosing the right place to have your baby can be a difficult task. This is particularly true for those that do not want to have a baby in a hospital setting. For these individuals, water birthing may be the best option available, but if you are unfamiliar with water births, there are some questions you may need addressed.
Are There Any Benefits To Choosing A Water Birth?
Water birthing can offer you numerous advantages over other options. Firstly, the water helps keep the body relaxed, and this can help expedite the labor process. By minimizing the number of hours it takes for you to deliver the child, you can help keep the risk of complications and the amount of pain to a minimum.
Also, the water can provide a much more sanitary environment for giving birth. Birth pools are filled with water that has been specially treated to remove any bacteria without using chemicals that pose a risk to the mother or child. This helps keep the entire process sanitized which reduce the risks of post birth infections and other complications.
Is The Baby In Danger of Drowning?
Some people may not want to choose a water birth because they are concerned that there will be a chance that the baby will drown. This concern is understandable, but it should be noted that this is not a risk. The womb is filled with a variety of fluids that sustain and protect the child while it is developing. As a result, newborns come into the world still receiving oxygen from the umbilical cord, and wait to breathe until in the open air. This means that the child is not at risk of drowning as long as it is quickly removed from the water.
To this end, your midwife or attending doctor will be in the birthing pool waiting on the baby to emerge. This will ensure that they are able to quickly grab the newborn as soon as it emerges.
Giving birth in water can be an excellent way of reducing the stress on your body and the risk of developing infections. However, water births have only recently gained in popularity, and you may not know much about them. Contact a local midwife group, like Women's Healthcare Associates LLC, to answer any questions you might have.

Take a moment and consider what the most valuable thing in your life is. Often times it's not a thing at all, but rather a who, a place, a memory. When defining value in everyday life it's not cut and dry, and it's certainly not the same for everyone. Think about your company's website now. What have you been considering valuable on your site? I'd guess you've been focusing on conversions to tell the story of what's succeeding and what isn't. While conversions are undoubtedly helpful in driving sales, they may not always be the indicator of digital success.
Traditionally, when reporting on digital analytics we've considered things like conversion rate and bounce rate as key indicators as to whether a website is performing for a company. We try to understand how our paid advertising is driving traffic and whether that traffic is doing exactly what we want. Then, from this information, we decide whether a page is valuable to us and our advertising campaigns. As we've gotten caught up in the numbers we've forgotten that what we're doing is not systematic. We're dealing with people and products that are always changing. Our analytics should be evolving too.
Customers visit a website in a variety of ways. Traffic can come organically or through paid channels and those users can take a number of actions once they arrive at a page. Understand that your website tells a story about how customers interact with your brand. Pay attention to who came to your site, how they did it, and what they did when they got there. Think of your conversions as the conclusion of a book. You can skip to the last chapter and find out what happens, but it means significantly less if you haven't paid attention to the storyline.
What does your website's story tell you? Look at your analytics and see what your top clicked links are. If we're looking at a car dealership's website and we can see that the top clicked link is a financing tab about the difference between leasing and buying, we now have a better understanding of what most of our customers are thinking about. Similarly, consider your top pages by time. You've found that your customers are spending the most time on a specific vehicle comparison page. There's no conversion on this page though, so you haven't given it a lot of credit. But knowing that customers are spending a lot of time on this page has got you thinking. Look at their click path. How did they get to this comparison page and what are they doing after? In this hypothetical scenario you've found that your customers leave the comparison page (where they've spent a considerable amount of time), visit a couple vehicle VDPs, later converting on a value trade form. You might not be getting the customer's contact information directly from the comparison page, but you are learning a ton of information about them.
The point is, not every website performs the same and we should not get caught up in the same few metrics all the time. Ultimately what should classify a successful page is not always the conversions, but the conversations the customer is having with us.

Hammocks aren't something commonly seen in Shetland, may be the lack of trees and excess of wind has something to do with that! Anyway after I'd finished cutting the grass I made a hammock from some old polytarp and hung it between the washing line poles to have a little snooze in. Little did I know how popular it would be!
As soon as Beren saw it he had to be in in and was saying he wanted to sleep out in it!
As soon as Clare saw it she had to be in it, as did Beren, which meant I was evicted!
Beren spent an age just lying in it this afternoon, playing with his toys in it. It's looking a a little saggy from the abuse of having a full family in it.
And he did want to sleep in it too. After his bath we loaded it up with a kip mat, sleeping bag, pillow, blankets galore and some teddies and some how managed to squeeze him in too!
And he did go the whole night, though by morning there was't much of him left in the hammock LOL!

X Factor stars Union J have been discussing what they look for in a partner.
With most of the boys still single, these tips may come in handy for their fans!
The group last night attended the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards 2012, and were quizzed on what it took to get their attention.
[tag]Union J[/tag] told ITN: "Smile and have a twinkle in the eye."
"Be yourself, don't worry about being someone you're not," said the group's Jaymi. "Just come out, be honest and be who you are, that's all everyone looks for in a woman."
All of the remaining X Factor finalists - minus ill Lucy Spraggan - were at the event, along with judges Nicole Scherzinger and Tulisa.
Both of the girls won awards, with Tulisa beating Nicole to grab the award for Best TV personality, which was last year won by former judge Kelly Rowland.
Nicole meanwhile wont he award for the Ultimate Fun Fearless Female, a category seemingly created just for the US star.

[cat c="the x factor"]The X Factor[/cat] continues this Saturday night on ITV1.
The latest results show follows on Sunday evening, which will feature performances from Rita Ora and No Doubt, as well as one more act being given the boot.

Mosquito Control Back to Services
The mosquito, while small in stature, can be annoying at best, and deadly at worst. Unlike ticks, fleas, and other insects that are exclusive blood-feeders, mosquitoes rely on sugar for energy, obtaining it from plant nectar and juices. Female mosquitoes bite because they need blood to extract all of the proteins and nutrients to produce fertile eggs. This biting process we're all familiar with is how disease and bacteria are spread.
Generally, mosquitoes need water to complete their life cycle. This can include water backups in gutters, water trapped in the top of planter pots, birdbaths, discarded tires, cans, pool covers, pet water bowls, and any other containers capable of holding moisture.
The Complete Xpert Mosquito Control Program:
- Our Xperts will assess the property for standing water and other breeding grounds.

Millwall manager pleased with rearguard action at Derby
IAN Holloway praised his newly-assembled back four after Millwall held free-scoring Derby to a 0-0 draw on Saturday.
The Lions boss reshuffled his defence at the iPro Stadium, moving Shaun Williams to centre half and pairing him with the recalled Byron Webster.
Matthew Briggs made his first league appearance for the club at left back while captain Alan Dunne filled in on the right side.
Holloway said: "That team and that back four has never played together before.
"I thought Webster showed all sorts of character. I brought him off at 2-0 down against Reading and he didn't deserve that.
"He took it like a man and he was absolutely fantastic today. We've had a problem since we lost Carlos Edwards because he's a Rolls Royce.
"I had to ask Alan Dunne to go back to right back – he hasn't played there for a while and was a bit ropey at the start but we've come through it.
"I just put some different energy in my team because we've been so nervous in the last couple of games.
"We started a little nervously but we grew into the game the longer it went on, particularly in the first half.
"It would be interesting to see the stats and find out how many chances they created with all their possession compared to our chances.
"Briggs was really unlucky in the first half when one came out to him and he smashed it – that could have easily gone in and it would have been deja vu for us at Derby again.
"But we'll have to take that point, go back home and get a little bit stronger and a little better if we want to get where Derby are aiming to get."
Holloway's main complaint about Millwall's performance was their ball retention.
"If I've got anything to worry about it's that we kept kicking it away," he said.
"If Derby have had a wave of attacks and we give it back to them then they're going to have another wave. We gave it back to them too much.
"I've got so much to do here and I'm going to keep calm and keep working at it.
"I was a little bit disappointed we didn't play out from the back and be a bit more confident on the ball because I wanted to win the game.
"I didn't come here to draw, I wanted to win. But I had to play a different way to how my Blackpool team might have done because I had more attacking options then.
"Back then I had some wingers who could run with the ball like you wouldn't believe so I've got to get that right here."
Lee Gregory had a penalty appeal turned down early on when he appeared to be nudged in the back as he jumped at a corner.
Derby loanee Jordan Ibe was then booked for diving after he went to ground as he tried to dribble around goalkeeper David Forde.
"You could argue the referee evened it out," Holloway said.
"I was very surprised he booked Ibe – it was a brave decision but the right decision.
"It did look like a shove on Gregory but I'm trying not to think about referees any more."

In June 2014, Parliament's Justice and Electoral Select Committee reported back to Parliament on the Harmful Digital Communications Bill introduced last year and recommended amendments to toughen up the legislation.
The recommendations included a higher maximum penalty for the new offence of "causing harm by posting a digital communication" to be raised from three months in jail, or a $2000 fine, to two years in jail. This would bring the sentence in line with other harassment offences.
"…we recommend amending subclause 18(2) to provide for a maximum penalty for an individual of six months' imprisonment or a $5,000 fine, and $20,000 for a body corporate; and amending subclause 19(3) to increase the maximum penalty for an individual to two years' imprisonment…. We would like to emphasise that the penalties we propose are maximum penalties; a Judge would impose a sentence proportionate to the nature of the offending in each case." (Committee Report – Commentary on proposed amendments to the Bill)
University of Canterbury law professor Ursula Cheer said individuals targeted online could pursue civil action on the grounds of defamation. [Read more…]

What is Hollaback?
The real motive of street harassment is intimidation. To make its target scared or uncomfortable, and to make the harasser feel powerful. But what if there was a simple way to take that power away by exposing it? You can now use your smartphone to do just that by documenting, mapping, and sharing incidents of street harassment. Join an entire community ready to Hollaback!
Our mission
Hollaback is a movement to end street harassment powered by a network of local activists around the world. We work together to better understand street harassment, to ignite public conversations, and to develop innovative strategies to ensure equal access to public spaces.
Our vision
We envision a world where street harassment is not tolerated and where we all enjoy equal access to public spaces.
What is Street Harassment?
Street harassment is a form of sexual harassment that takes place in public spaces. At its core is a power dynamic that constantly reminds historically subordinated groups (women and LGBTQ folks, for example) of their vulnerability to assault in public spaces. Further, it reinforces the ubiquitous sexual objectification of these groups in everyday life.
Street harassment can be sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, sizeist and/or classist. It is an expression of the interlocking and overlapping oppressions we face and it functions as a means to silence our voices and "keep us in our place."
At Hollaback!, we believe that what specifically counts as street harassment is determined by those who experience it. If you've experienced street harassment, we've got your back!
How Hollaback! works
Street harassment is one of the most pervasive forms of gender-based violence and one of the least legislated against. Comments from "You'd look good on me" to groping, flashing and assault are a daily, global reality for women and LGBTQ individuals. But it is rarely reported, and it's culturally accepted as 'the price you pay' for being a woman or for being gay. At Hollaback!, we don't buy it.
We believe that everyone has a right to feel safe and confident without being objectified. Sexual harassment is a gateway crime that creates a cultural environment that makes gender-based violence OK. There exists a clear legal framework to reproach sexual harassment and abuse in the home and at work, but when it comes to the streets—all bets are off. This gap isn't because street harassment hurts any less, it's because there hasn't been a solution. Until now. The explosion of mobile technology has given us an unprecedented opportunity to end street harassment—and with it, the opportunity to take on one of the final new frontiers for women's rights around the world.
By collecting women and LGBTQ folks' stories and pictures in a safe and share-able way with our very own mobile phone applications, Hollaback! is creating a crowd-sourced initiative to end street harassment. Hollaback! breaks the silence that has perpetuated sexual violence internationally, asserts that any and all gender-based violence is unacceptable, and creates a world where we have an option—and, more importantly—a response.
Why you should Hollaback:
There are two reasons to hollaback: for you, and for the world.
For you: Hollaback! is all about your right to be you: A person who never has to take it or just keep walking, but one who has a badass response when they are messed with. Someone who knows they have the right to define themselves instead of being defined by some creep's point of view. Because none of us are as simple as a list of physical attributes. We have a right to be who we are, not who we are told to be. We have a right to define ourselves on our own terms when we walk out the door, whatever that means that day. That hour. That minute.
Street harassment teaches us to be silent, but we aren't listening. We don't put up with harassment in the home, at work, or at school. And now we aren't putting up with it in the street, either. By holla'ing back you are transforming an experience that is lonely and isolating into one that is sharable. You change the power dynamic by flipping the lens off of you and onto the harasser. And you enter a worldwide community of people who've got your back.
For the world: Stories change the world. Don't believe us? Think about Rodney King, Anita Hill, or Matthew Sheppard. These stories didn't just change the world, they shaped policy.
The internet has given us a new campfire. Each time you hollaback, you are given a king-sized platform to tell your story. Thousands will read it and your story will shift their understanding of what harassment means. Some will walk away understanding what it feels like to be in your shoes, others will feel like they are not alone for the first time or that it's not their fault. Your story will redefine safety in your community—it will inspire legislators, the police, and other authorities to take this issue seriously – to approach it with sensitivity, and to create policies that make everyone feel safe. Your story will build an irrefutable case as to why street harassment is not OK. A case strong enough to change the world.
But it all starts with the simplest of gestures: Your hollaback.

NOTE:The following is the most recent decree from the Vatican on the subject of Freemasonry.
Issued by the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on November 26, 1983.
It has been asked whether there has been any change in the Church's decision in regard to Masonic associations since the new Code of Canon Law does not mention them expressly, unlike the previous Code.
This Sacred Congregation is in a position to reply that this circumstance is due to an editorial criterion which was followed also in the case of other associations likewise unmentioned inasmuch as they are contained in wider categories.
Therefore the Church's negative judgment in regard to Masonic associations remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion.
It is not within the competence of local ecclesiastical authorities to give a judgment on the nature of Masonic associations which would imply a derogation from what has been decided above, and this in line with the Declaration of this Sacred Congregation issued on 17 February 1981 (cf. AAS 73 [1981] pp. 240-241).
In an audience granted to the undersigned Cardinal Prefect, the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II approved and ordered the publication of this Declaration which had been decided in an ordinary meeting of this Sacred Congregation.
Rome, from the Office of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, 26 November 1983.

Good morning... Summer has officially arrived here on the mountain!
Everything is bright and green.
Planting is being done, gardens being put in.
Hay season has also begun,we have already finished 1 field. Several more to go. Its an awesome sight to see and smell the fresh new seasons hay filling the barn.
The farm is busy with new babies. In March we bought 13 new baby goats, we did end up selling 4.. So by this time next year will will be in the goat milking business for sure and should have babies for sale our selves.
Oh my gracious the bunnies we have ,, Thinking we are at about 80 right now. Most are a meat breed type rabbit. I don't breed for an special variety. We just want rabbits. I did buy several large breeds for this reason and they are having awesome babies . So now we have some for sale.
Someone ask me one day how can you eat those cute bunnies? Easy,, I eat my pigs, chickens, turkeys,, why should bunnies be any different. This is a working farm,, this is a as much as possible self sufficient working farm. Each year we try to add to our own reliability. Where we depend on just us. The more I know whats in the food I feed my family the better off they will be.
Cant wait to get back to milking again,, Excited to be back on the farm working.
Took a yr and half off the farm working at the shop and that didnt do as we had hoped,, so bringing everything back full circle to the farm.
Still alot to do before the summer is over. Many new improvements to the farm are needed to keeps things running smoothly and easily for me to manage everything.
As soon as the gardens are in ,, its going to be fencing the top pasture in to get everyone up in the nice green grass, and it will cut the hay usage down for the summer.
Berry season is finally here, strawberries are just coming ready so will be picking some and getting them preserved for winters use. Blueberries are still a couple weeks out,, but we are ready when they are.
Well the clock on the wall says I have taken a long enough break and need to get about chores.
You all have a blessed Sunday.. Remember to give thanks for all things great and small
God Bless for the
Simple Farm Girl

Central Huijin Investment Ltd., a Chinese state-owned investment firm, offloaded 300 million A shares of Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd. at an average price of 5.43 yuan each and 280 million China Construction Bank Corp. shares at 6.81 yuan apiece on Tuesday.
The sales reduced the sovereign wealth fund's holding of ICBC's A shares to 45.89 percent from 46 percent, the filings show.
Its stake in CCB's A shares dropped to 2.14 percent from 5.05 percent.
The block trades stirred up market speculation about whether Huijin had chosen to take profits in light of the high valuation of mainland banking stocks.
Another possibility is that it sold down its holdings in anticipation of negative policies that will affect the banking sector in the future.
The Shanghai Composite Index plunged 6.5 percent to close at 4,620 points Thursday, as investors raced for the exits amid widespread rumors following whopping gains so far this year.
The mainland market has gone through several corrections since the market rally started after Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect was launched in November.
It suffered a mini crash of 7.7 percent or 260 points on Jan. 19, triggered by regulators tightening their oversight over margin trading and short selling.
On that occasion, the market recouped its loss within two days.
Therefore, investors should watch closely to see whether the market will rebound swiftly within the next few days.
However, last time, the Chinese authorities and brokerages quickly clarified that the tightening measures were not aimed at pushing down the stock market and would have limited impact.
By contrast, there is no clear clue yet what triggered the dive this time.
Xinhua published a commentary saying the correction will make the equity market healthier.
But it remains questionable whether investor confidence will be restored as quickly as it was last time.
Views are divided on Huijin's move.
Some believe the share sale kicked off the diversification of ownership of state-run firms, a long-touted reform.
Guijin Securities noted that Huijin hasn't been allowed to reduce its stake in the country's biggest banks before, and the sales may pave the way for the government to reduce its control of those banks and open up the ownership of state firms.
In fact, the prospects are limited for the diversification of ownership in the listed state-run banks.
They already have some private investors, and private capital will never replace the government as the biggest shareholder.
Therefore, the focus in banking sector reform should be on relaxing entry thresholds and boosting the growth of private banks.
Also, Huijin increased its holdings of banking stocks over the last few years to bail out the sluggish market.
Financial stocks have outperformed amid the red-hot equity market in recent months.
Therefore, it's quite sensible for Huijin to offload some shares and take some profit.
Liquidity has determined the direction of the market.
Bad news will be viewed as positive during a bull market, and good news will offer little help in a bad market.
At the moment, the market is overbought, and the news has triggered a market reversal.
Many investors have reaped gains during the market's surge in recent months, and they keep reminding themselves to take profit at the current high levels.
They raced to the exits when they heard the news of Huijin's sales, which amounted to only 3.5 billion yuan (US$560 million), compared with the daily turnover of 2 trillion yuan in the mainland markets.
Market sentiment is the key.
If investors still have confidence in Beijing's support for capital markets, the bull market has further to go.
And each correction offers a good entry opportunity.
Investors should take advantage of this correction and accumulate some stocks at low levels.

Module 2 - Exchange and Transport
Carriage of CO2
- Created by: Nick
- Created on: 22-05-10 12:20
How is CO2 transported?
CO2 is released from respiring tissues. It must be removed from these tissues and transported to the lungs. CO2 in the blood is transported in three ways:
- About 5% is dissolved directly in the plasma.
- About 10% is combined directly with haemoglobin to form a compound called carbaminohaemoglobin.
- About 85% is transported in the form of hydrogencarbonate ions (HCO3-).
How are hydrogencarbonate ions formed?
As carbon dioxide diffuses into the blood, some of it enters the red blood cells. It combines with water to form a weak acid called carbonic acid. This is catalysed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase.
This carbonic acid dissociates to release hydrogen ions and hydrogencarbonate ions.
The hydrogencarbonatte ions diffuse out of the red blood cell into the plasma. The charge inside the red blood cell is maintained by the movement of chloride ions (Cl-) from the plasma into the red blood cell. This is called the chloride shift.
The hydrogen ions could cause the contents of the red blood cell to become very acidic. To prevent this, the hydrogen ions are taken up by haemoglobin to produce haemoglobinic acid. The haemoglobin is acting as a buffer (a compound that can maintain a constant pH)
Dissociation curves
Dissociation curves show how efficient haemoglobin is at absorbing oxygen in the lungs and delivering oxygen to tissues. Samples of blood are exposed to different mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen, and shaken to ensure that haemoglobin absorbs as much oxygen as possible. Partial pressure (measured in kilopascals, kPa) is the pressure exerted by oxygen in this mixture. The percentage saturation is calculated as the percentage of the maximum quantity of oxygen that haemoglobin absorbs.
Lungs (at sea level) -
- PP of oxygen/KPa - 13.0
- Saturation of haemoglobin with oxygen/% - 98
Maternal blood in placenta -
- PP of oxygen/KPa - 4.0
- Saturation of haemoglobin with oxygen/% - 60
Fetal blood in placenta -
- PP of oxygen/KPa - 4.0
- Saturation of haemoglobin with oxygen/% - 80
Releasing more oxygen - The Bohr effect
- Haemoglobin is fully saturated at the partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs. It becomes fully loaded with O2 as it passes the gas exchange surface (the alveoli). When fully saturated, almost all the haemoglobin is in the form of oxyhaemoglobin.
- As it flows through the tissues, oxyhaemoglobin responds to low partial pressures of oxygen by dissociating (giving up some of its oxygen). Oxygen diffuses through capillary walls and tissue fluid to respiring cells.
- As tissues use up oxygen during exercise, oxyhaemoglobin dissociates even more.
- The S-shape of the curve shows that oxyhaemoglobin responds to small decreases in oxygen concentration in the tissues by giving up a lot of oxygen.
- Fetal blood has a higher affinity for oxygen than adult blood. This means that oxygen diffuses from maternal blood to fetal blood across the placenta, even though the partial pressures are similar.
Releasing oxygen
As the blood enters respiring tissues, the haemoglobin is carrying oxygen in the form of oxyhaemoglobin. The oxygen tension of the respiring tissues is lower than that in the lungs because oxygen has been used in respiration. As a result, the oxyhaemoglobin begins to dissociate and releases oxygen to the tissues.
Releasing more oxygen - The Bohr effect
The hydrogen ions released from the dissociation of carbonic acid compete for the space taken up by oxygen on the haemoglobin molecule. So when carbon dioxide is present, the hydrogen ions displace the oxygen on the haemoglobin. As a result, the oxyhaemoglobin releases more oxygen to the tissues.
Where tissues (such as contracting muscles) are respiring more, there will be more carbon dioxide. As a result there will be more hydrogen ions produced in the red blood cells. This makes the oxyhaemoglobin release more oxygen. This it the Bohr effect. At any particular oxygen tension, the haemoglobin releases more oxygen when more carbon dioxide is present. So when more carbon dioxide is present, haemoglobin dissociation curve shift downwards and to the right (the Bohr effect).
The Bohr effect results in oxygen being more readily released where more carbon dioxide is produced from respiration. This is just what the muscles need for aerobic respiration to continue.
The Bohr effect
When cells respire, they produce carbon dioxide. The graph on the next card shows what happens when carbon dioxide is added to the gas mixture.
When there is more CO2 in the mixture, haemoglobin is less saturated with oxygen. (On the graph) - the second line is to the right of the first line. The effect of carbon dioxide on the dissociation curve is the Bohr shift or Bohr effect.
CO2 interacts with haemoglobin to cause it to give up its O2. This is good news, because it means that haemoglobin delivers more oxygen to those tissues that are respiring quickly, such as muscles during exercise. This happens because an enzyme in red blood cells, carbonic anhydrase, catalyses the reaction between H2O and CO2.
Haemoglobin absorbs the hydrogen ions that form inside the red blood cells, which causes them to lose the oxygen molecules they are carrying.
