The Customer Relationship Management in the Social Age Best Practice Guide, written by experienced eCRM and social CRM strategist Andrew Campbell, aims to help CMOs develop a future-proofed eCRM strategy, combining the best of traditional eCRM practices, tools and techniques with the rapidly emerging capabilities of social CRM.
A consolidated eCRM / social CRM planning model is defined to help senior marketers identify and manage these two complementary areas of activity and then realise these in a phased, low-risk and cost-effective manner.
A strategic overview of social CRM strategy and planning is outlined by way of context and orientation.
The report explains the challenges and opportunities that are offered by social CRM so these can be related to a more traditional eCRM model.
About this guide
The report has been written from a practitioner's perspective and represents an applied and pragmatic approach to updating eCRM strategy and programme design to accommodate social media. It contains:
- Cross-references to relevant business, strategy and marketing theory.
- Cross-references to specific eCRM and social marketing theory.
- A new analytical framework to classify eCRM typologies and strategies.
- 45 questions to help you understand the key issues affecting your eCRM strategy.
- Assertions and hypotheses to explain how social CRM relates to the broader eCRM strategy.
- A new eCRM planning framework.
The guide is split into five main sections covering:
- eCRM Theory – the historical context and theoretical framework of eCRM and its alignment with broader business strategies.
- eCRM Practice – practical application of this theory to support a rigorous and effective approach to eCRM strategy and planning.
- Social CRM Theory – the backdrop to the emergence of social media channels and their impact on the traditional eCRM model.
- Social CRM Practice – the practicalities of designing and implementing social CRM programmes and integrating these with more traditional eCRM programmes.
- Integrated Planning – a planning framework to support an integrated and customer-centric approach to eCRM and social CRM programme design and definition.

Selena Gomez: Sushi with Samantha Droke
Selena Gomez shares a laugh with Samantha Droke while heading to lunch on Tuesday afternoon (December 4) in Encino, Calif.
The twosome stopped by Yamato Sushi & Teppan Grill after the 20-year-old actress went in for a quick check-up at the doctor's office.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Selena Gomez
"Well I've been working with UNICEF for the past five years now. They're an organization that's close to my heart. I think, for me, I started with Disney Channel and my show [The Wizards of Waverly Place] had a lot of younger fans. When I see the fans and we have live audience tapings and I see some of them maybe being sick, they're the reason why I'm here," Selena recently told MTV.
She added, "If I'm able to do anything to give back to the families or the kids that help me every single day, kids hold a special place in my heart for that reason."
FYI: Selena is carrying the Dolce&Gabbana 'Escape' handbag.

Augmented Reality Technology Brings Sesame Street Characters to Life
By Graydon Gordian
Having been around for over 40 years, here at Sesame Workshop we understand that there are some time-tested ways children learn and play – there's no need to reinvent the playset. But we believe that, as new technologies emerge, there are ways to enhance and support the tried and true ways children use their imagination to make sense of the world.
That's why we have partnered with Qualcomm to explore how augmented reality technology can encourage learning and emotional growth in young children. Our CEO Mel Ming, Innovation Lab team member David Glauber and Grover demonstrated the Vuforia™ augmented reality platform at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 10th. By merely holding up a tablet to a traditional playset, children can interact with their favorite Sesame Street characters while developing socially, emotionally and cognitively.
Quite simply, when a child points a tablet or smart phone at these toys, the camera recognizes the objects and they come to life on screen. The camera on the tablet recognizes 3-D objects – in this instance specially designed versions of Bert and Ernie as well as a television, a bathtub, a racecar and other toys for Bert and Ernie to play with. (The characters are designed with special code-infused clothing so the camera can identify them. But developers at Sesame Street's Innovation Lab are confident that, someday soon, the camera will be able to recognize any of the plush Sesame Street characters children own.) T-shirts, books and countless other items also have the potential to "come to life" when viewed through the app.
When Ernie is placed onto the playset, the camera recognizes the floor and triggers a response on screen, creating "walls" around him. In the prototypical version of the technology presented at CES – the app is not yet available for purchase – Ernie says hello to the user and asks for another Sesame Street character to play with. But in future, more developed versions of the technology, Ernie and the other Sesame Street characters will have a wide range of reactions to any given scenario. This will allow for both a more guided form of pretend play, as well as child-directed experiences.
Both kinds of play – guided and child-directed – are important for fostering social confidence and a children's ability to manage their own behavior and emotions. As children move toys in and out of the playset, they choose what kinds of social situations they would like to experiment with. Meanwhile, the app provides the structure necessary for them to learn more advanced forms of narrative construction, such as telling stories with a beginning, middle and end.
It was important to our Innovation Lab team that, in the words of team member Jason Milligan, the use of the augmented reality technology not be "gimmicky." Milligan and the rest of the team wanted it to genuinely support and enhance the well-established ways children already play with their toys. So they reimagined the ways information can be input into a digital tool like a tablet.
For instance, when children play, they physically move their toys in and out of the playset. That's why, instead of using a mouse or touch screen as an input device, the toys themselves are the input device. It's also why all it takes to "activate" the toy's digital rendering is to point the tablet at it. Directing the camera at the jukebox causes music to play; directing it at the TV turns it on, and causes whatever Sesame Street scene is playing to fill the tablet screen.
Because it comes in the form of an app, the technology is very malleable. As new characters are created and new storylines for them imagined, the software can be automatically updated like any other app. This is just the first generation of a new technology that has almost limitless possibilities.
The future is a fun place to play.

Box Score - Game One
Box Score - Game Two
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Freshman pitcher Ryne Barry kept his college ledger unscathed after delivering a compete-game performance in MIT's 7-2 victory over NEWMAC rival Springfield in game two of Saturday's scheduled double-header. The Pride, who needed to win both games against the Engineers to clinch the third seed in the conference tournament, made the nightcap meaningful after a dominating, 16-5, victory in game one.
Barry (4-0) tossed his second compete-game of the season to ensure the No. 3 seed and a home game for MIT (14-12, 7-5) in the first round of the NEWMAC Baseball Tournament. The Engineers rode Barry's arm to the win as the rookie scattered six hits and gave up one earned run while striking out seven.
Brian Doyle, Kevin Wheeler, Thomas Phillips and Ben Bersanti each supplied the attack with a pair of hits in game two while six different players drove home a run. The Engineers scored one in the second and two in the third with Phillips and rookie William Blackman registering back-to-back RBI doubles to account for the third-inning scores.
Barry weathered some trouble in the top of the seventh as Springfield (14-18, 5-7) reduced the lead to 3-2 with a pair of runs. Joey Kropa picked up an RBI during the frame despite a throwing error at third while Tim Romeo supplied the key hit of the inning with a double to right field.
Erasing any chance of a Springfield comeback, the Engineers plated two runs of their own in the bottom of the seventh and tacked on two more in the eighth. Wheeler picked up an RBI with a single to center while Doyle and Stewart Park also earned RBI's for the MIT offense.
In the opener, Springfield was working on all cylinders as the lineup pounded out 16 hits while starter Jimmy Lisowski looked strong through five innings of work. Lisowski surrendered two earned runs and struck out 10 batters in moving to 3-2 on the year.
After a fairly quiet first three innings, the Pride blew apart a 1-0 lead with six runs in the top of the fourth. John Schmaltz ripped a two-run single to left to spark the attack while Justin Nussey added an RBI single and Ryan Hingston brought home two more with a double to deep center.
The game went from bad to worse for the MIT nine in the fifth as Springfield exploded for seven more runs. Drew Michael authored the biggest hit of the frame after clearing the bases with a three-run triple, then scoring himself on a throwing error to third.
David Nole tripled to right center to plate two runs for MIT in the bottom of the fifth, but the deficit proved to be too much as Springfield added one run each in the sixth and seventh en route to its fourth-straight win.
Romeo was huge for the Pride in game one, finishing 4-for-5 with three runs and an RBI while Hingston closed 3-for-4 with four runs batted in.

Samsung may have left us disappointed after a pretty mellow keynote, but it looks like this isn't stopping them from throwing out a few more announcements this week. While rumors abound over a Galaxy S4, Samsung decided to relaunch an old favorite: the Galaxy S2 Plus.
Though Samsung is far from naming products as badly as Qualcomm, the new product is sure to confuse customers as they make their way to stores looking for the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and while they're glaring at the Galaxy S3, or Galaxy Note 2, they could also get the new Galaxy S2 Plus, a smaller, but beefy buddy to the Galaxy S3. The phone has some pretty good hardware: a 1.2GHZ dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 4.3″ Super AMOLED display, and Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2. Compared to the Galaxy S2 it's a big upgrade, though the Galaxy S3 still outmatches it in a few departments. Still it's probably going to be a great choice for those who want a smaller screen or (likely) a cheaper phone than the Galaxy S3 or upcoming Galaxy S4.
We're guessing the rehash was done by Samsung to encourage sales of the phone with the Galaxy name, but not to make it look like a successor to the Galaxy S4 and its superior hardware. Either way, if Samsung can prevent customers from getting confused when they head to the store, it should be another welcome addition to the Galaxy family.

This week we began work on a new fish list that will facilitate better access to pages. We welcome two new visitors and take you on a tour of part of the fish collection.
I have received a number of emails over the last few months asking where the 'full species list' of fishes can be located on the site. People have commented that the old Australian Museum fish site had such a list, but the new one does not. I agree with you and am working on it. Have patience, setting up new pages and links for close to 1000 species is taking some time. You can view where I am up to on the Find a fish page.

Lisa <3 I don't have reasons to take you to the end <3
Lisa: It truly could go any direction.Lisa is still doing commentary... hmmm? It's very... misleading?Anyway honestly, I really really think it still can go anyway. I thought Amanda had it in the bag twice and... see what happened -_-
Quote from: Kandace on December 16, 2012, 09:12:18 PMLisa <3 I don't have reasons to take you to the end <3That was FIERCE! Lisa is amazing! <333 But I'm very upset for Malcolm! He would've won and would've deserved it. But now I think Denise will win and I can't say she deserves it tbh. I just hope Lisa can somehow sway those jurors. I'd prefer Skupin over Denise, but that wouldn't be a satisfying outcome either...

Pets, Pets, Pets
The annual Pit Pilgrimage is about to begin with the third Bully Breed Brigade (BBB) quickly approaching. The event is musical this year, thanks to the founders of Rock & Rawhide. Our "Woodstock for Pibbles" is set to start this Sat., Oct. 19 at 11 a.m. and run to at least 4 p.m. on Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh between Hempstead Town Shelter and Last Hope Animal Rescue, as long as Mother Nature cooperates.
Think canine concert/convention. The Bully Breed Brigade is a gathering of Bully breed ambassadogs (the cream of the crop), shelters, rescues, trainers, vendors and the media to bring attention to the plight of the Pit plentitude languishing in our Town shelters. [Rough municipal census: About 200 at Brookhaven; over 100 at Hempstead; around 35 at Babylon right now.] This "Pets" is designed to entice you to "Be there at the BBB."
BBB media attention: You may recall that Tia Torres from Animal Planet's show "Pit Bulls & Parolees" was the special guest at the previous BBBs. In fact, last year we also held a fundraiser for her New Orleans sanctuary at Mulcahy's in Wantagh.
This year we have partnered with Kylie Edmond Hillman and her husband Sean Patrick, the founders of Rock & Rawhide, an incredible shelter advocacy group (www.rockandrawhide.org) made up of talented animal lovers with ties in the music industry. They do great things for shelter pets. Also their huge collection drives provide homeless animals with toys, blankets, chewies that alleviate stress and enhance adoptability. (For more about Rock & Rawhide's good work see Beacon "Pets" 10/3/13.) We are asking that each BBB attendee bring a new or usable item to be donated to a shelter or rescue.
Last Saturday morning Sean Patrick did a segment on Channel 7 Eyewitness News with Michelle Charlesworth promoting the upcoming BBB. He had two young Pit hopefuls from Hempstead Shelter with him. Z100's Elvis Duran of Z100's Elvis Duran Show is talking about the BBB on the radio. This week News 12 Long Island will be sponsoring and publicizing the BBB, as well as filming "Dog Days Friday" at Hempstead Shelter Fri., Oct. 18 morning as a BBB prelude. News 12 plans to be at the BBB on Saturday, and word has it that newscaster Elisa Di Stefano will be taping BBB segments.
BBB showcase of bands: We will have two event stages – one in front of the shelter for intros after the Pit Parade and the other on Beltagh Avenue as a stage for the bands, all donating their time and talent. The musical menu is eclectic including teenage bands, Beatles and '60s/'70s songs, plus folk/rock/pop/funk/ soul. As Kylie says: "We are rocking these amazing bands in support of Pit Bulls at the Bully Breed Brigade hosted by Hempstead Town Animal Shelter & Last Hope Inc.- The Counter Revolutionaries, The Bronx Singer featuring Daniel Lugo, members of the press, Vintage Peeple and LiLi Roquelin." Come down and enjoy the free show!
BBB Pit Parade: Current adoptables, shelter alumni and visitors with their dogs will be marching the loop from Hempstead Shelter to Last Hope and back between 1 and 2 p.m.; then waltzing across the stage one at a time while Sean Patrick reads their brief bios. Last year we had to carry some of the stage frightened big babies up the stairs which speaks volumes. The dogs were mushes, not monsters, as often portrayed in the press and on TV. We aim to change the public perception of Pits.
Our grand marshal will be "Gabby Cohen," a dear Pit who spent a year at Hempstead Shelter and then close to another year at Last Hope. She overcame a misdiagnosis of epilepsy and was adopted by a dedicated Last Hope volunteer before going on to earn an AKC Canine Good Citizen title last spring. We are still working on her outfit, perhaps a Bella Abzugstyle hat and a boa, but in the meantime for Gabby's full story, see Beacon "Pets" 8/1/13.
BBB participants: Here is just a sampling. Town shelters include North Hempstead, Babylon and Southampton; while rescues include Almost Home which does outreach and free spay/neuter of Pits in Wyandanch, Unchained NY, Bobbi & the Strays and LI Pit Stop. Hempstead Pits will be doing agility demos. Tavi & Friends will demonstrate Touch massage. Kids Adopt A Shelter, an amazing group of young shelter advocates, will be there. Versatile vendors will set up tables. Gourmet dog food, treats and "Benebone" a durable chewie. Handcrafted jewelry, quilts, pet portraits too. Raffle baskets. Face painting. Possibly an honor system flea market in Last Hope's parking lot. You can purchase event tee shirts and eats for the peeps such as desserts from Bear Berry Baked Goods, sliders and fries from Mr. Nice Guy's Food Truck and Cuban dishes at the Miami Grill Truck from Baldwin which has 55 foot TV mounted on top. We plan to make a video of some happy shelter adoptions.
Now, please say you are going to be at this year's Bully Breed Brigade; and if not, that you are going to spread the word.
For Adoption at Babylon
Town Shelter (631-643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: "Cody" #13-552 has the makings of a Pit ambassadog.

Hi guys,
I have two handles with the following measures ready for you to test (the ones shown in my tutorial thread):
3cm wide alloy
5mm alloy thickness
8cm high (Including foam grip)
13cm wide (Including foam grip)
Send me a PM with your adresses I shall have it shipped to and youre good to go for a testrun as soon as they arrive.
After some testing, please give me feedback on possible changes. (I think we got the material and measures almost exactly right)
I am sure this is already 90% ideal.
I will not glue the foam (to leave you options)
I would recommend the following:
1. Test with foam without glue
2. Test with tapes (remove foam, tape it)
3. Test with foam glued (I guess that will be the solution)
Have fun testing and please write me detailed feedback!
I will do one more for me (but 1cm lower as I have a 8cm instep, 1cm lower than Tobi)
After your detailled feedback I will then produce another handle for each one of you so you can test the optimised version - so the more specific you know what you want, the better!

Domain name..!!
We have heard about it many a times, and even know that it's important to own one if you want to make your presence felt online.
But what it is really..??
So, here on jammyspeaks.com, I am starting a series on Domain & More. This series would cover info about domain names, registering domain names, hosting services and more..!!
Why am I doing this..??
Because, when I was trying to get a domain name for my blog, I was not knowing what to do..?? So, I thought it would be helpful to newbies around. Also, I aim to cover topics like domain transfer, 404 page, a 301 redirect and many more things.
In this first part, domain name, I would just cover basic info about these things which many already know. So, I would cover it in brief...
Domain name is basically an identity of sort based on Domain Name System (DNS). And what's DNS ? It's naming system for resources connected to a network (including internet). Domain name is quite an advanced term but in short it could be said domain names are used to indicate the ownership or control of a resource. Domain names are also used to assign easy to remember names to some numerically addressed internet resource. And this is the use about which we are gonna discuss here.
Each internet resource have unique IP addresses in numerical terms which are very confusing. To overcome this problem domain names provides resources to be moved to different physical locations in the network. This is done by translation of IP address of resource to its assigned domain names.
So, when we type www.google.com in our browser, we are directed to http://220.127.116.11 (the address could vary as Google has a bunch of IP addresses. It depends on which server you hit based on where you are in the world.)
Domain names can be bought from domain name registrar which is a non profit or commercial identity accredited by ICANN, internet corporation for assigned names and numbers.
There are various domain registrars available and you can easily buy a domain name. Domain names end in a top level domains (TLDs). Top level domains are the highest level of domain names on the internet. Some of the famous TLDs are .com, .net, .info, .gov, .biz. These are generally specific where they are used. For example, .biz are used for business websites, .edu for educational internet resource.
Then there are sub domains. For example, google.com is a domain name, and mail.google.com is sub domain.
Today, trading of domain names have become a high profile business which has generated many a millionaires. Though simple domain names can be bought cheaply, there are premium domain names which would cost you great amount of money. It's because some words are highly valued. And getting such a domain name would not only create a buzz but would also help in high amount of traffic.
So, getting your desired domain name is not an easy job. Suppose if you had bought www.barackobama.com before US presidential elections, then you would have earned yourself a fortune. That's how it is in feild of domain names.
That was a small introduction to domain names. Although here, I have skipped many significant things about it, but as I told you earlier domain is vast topic. In subsequent posts in the series, Domain & More, I would post about those things.
Till then, Happy searching for your desired domain name..!!

Work on Dublin's first medical campus is progressing.
Work on Dublin's first medical campus is progressing.
The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine received approval Dec. 7 to begin recruiting its charter class as renovation plans for 7001 and 7003 Post Road reached final stages.
The OK from the Commission on Osteopath College Accreditation to find its first class for the planned July 2014 opening will allow the new OU campus on Dublin's west side to find students who plan to stay in the area beyond college.
"We'd like to take young people from central Ohio, train them in central Ohio in medicine and residency and have them serve the people of Ohio," said Dublin campus dean, Kenneth Johnson. "If they go to medical school and do their residency in the state, there is a significant likelihood of them staying in the state."
A shortage of general care doctors is being predicted for the next 10 to 15 years, Johnson said, and the new college campus will work to make a dent in that.
The new campus is also looking to the future when it comes to educational space.
OU took possession of three buildings at 7001 and 7003 Post Road this fall that will provide about 65,000 square feet altogether.
"One of the things we have the opportunity to do with this building is make something from almost nothing," Johnson said. "We have a shell of a building and the opportunity to focus on medical education innovation."
Instead of typical college classrooms for lecture-based instruction, Johnson said OU is opting for learning labs that will give students a team-based learning experience that will allow of problem-solving and discussions.
"We're trying to anticipate the direction of medical education in the next 10 to 15 years," he said.
The Dublin and Athens OU campuses will also be linked for more educational opportunities, he said.
"I might be on the Athens campus talking about heart disease," Johnson said. "I'd be talking to students here and there (in Dublin). We'd have a facilitator on site so students can ask questions and have the same level of access."
The design phase for the Dublin campus is nearly completed and Johnson said renovations are expected to start in March and take about a year to complete.
"We'll have large group spaces, small group spaces and then there's a bunch of faculty space there as well. There will be nearly three dozen faculty and staff on site," he said.
Work is also planned outside the buildings to transform the area into a college campus, Johnson said.
"As we work on the physical outlay of the site, it will start to look more like a college campus," he said. "There will be pathways between buildings, a place for students to study and congregate outside. It's what you would see on a typical college campus."
Renovations are expected to be completed by the time 50 students start four years of medical training in Dublin.
Education will include two years of education on clinical medicine in the classroom and two years of learning in the field.
"The second two years will be coordinated from that campus with the Athens campus and they'll be placed in central Ohio for their clinical experience," Johnson said. "We're partnering with Ohio Health and they're working to expand capacity for medical education in the central Ohio area."

There is a computer virus going around called "CryptoLocker" that can cause lasting and severe damage to the data stored on your networks.
CryptoLocker is a type of ransomware that is injected into your network by a user who clicks on an attachment in a suspicious e-mail. These e-mails often effectively mimic notices from respected firms such as LinkedIn, UPS/FedEx or customer complaint-generated e-mails. Once a user clicks on the e-mail and opens the attachment, the infection is launched. Because the user's click is viewed as a "launch attachment" authorization by the computer, currently no commercially available anti-virus software will block installation of this variant. Once inserted on a computer attached to your network, it will spread itself invisibly throughout your network and begin to encrypt server or PC data, often requiring less than 24 hours to render an entire network's data useless. Data is effectively rendered useless and must be recovered from backed-up media such as disks and external backups.
3 Rivers reminds you to NEVER click directly on a link in an e-mail from an unknown or suspicious source. Instead, enter the URL for the site you want to visit and then look for the notice/information referred to in the e-mail.

Homes are selling -- for the right price
It might be hyperbole to say there seems to be a house for sale on every street, but according to participants in the residential real estate market, looks can be deceiving.
In communities like Stamford, the challenge is finding suitable homes in the right price range.
"There's a shortage of homes on the market. It's definitely a seller's market -- no doubt about it," said Tom Kijek, who with his wife, Myra, are agents with the Stamford office of William Raveis Real Estate. "If anybody is anticipating selling, now is the time to do it. If housing is priced at market value, they'll sell."
In Stamford, homes priced between $350,000 and $700,000 are more likely to sell in a timely manner, he said, estimating most sell in 30 to 90 days, depending on condition and price.
He and his wife just brokered a deal for the purchase of an 18th-century home on Haviland Road in North Stamford. On the market since Jan. 21, the house was listed at $849,000 and went under contract in about 60 days, Kijek said, adding it received interest because of its antiquity. The deal is pending.
Homes priced at $900,000 and up in Stamford are sitting on the market for considerably longer time, Kijek said.

What Is a Child's Right to Freedom?
Chima F. Madu
- 28 مشاركة
- العمر 30
In one of my child rights advocacy visits to secondary schools, I met the principal of a school who clearly prohibited me from talking to his students about the rights they have as children. We had an interesting discussion in which he gave some unsubstantial grounds against the enactment of the Child's Rights Act. One of the grounds he stated was that the Child's Rights Act incites rebellion amongst children against their parents and limits the amount of control parents have over their children with particular reference to Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 of the Act. Keeping in mind that there are other people with similar thoughts I would love to comment on this view.
The Child's Rights Act, 2003 of Nigeria (CRA) represents the nationalization of the Child Rights Convention (CRC) and according to sections 6, 7, 8, 9; a child has the right to freedom of association and peaceful assembly; right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; right to private and family life; right to freedom of movement respectively. At first glance, these rights will be widely accepted and appreciated by children especially those who have strict parents while on the other hand it will be widely frowned upon by parents who consider these rights as limiting the amount of control they have over their children. The law respects the family unit and in the quest to protect the rights and welfare of children it has no intention to incite rebellion in a family or limit the amount of control parents have over their children. In this light it is important to emphasize the fact that if you read these sections carefully you would realize that the law does not just state the above rights for children. It further states that such rights are subject to the law and should be exercised in accordance with the necessary guidance and direction of parents and guardians and in the interest of the welfare and safety of a child. For example Section 9 of the CRA 2003 deals with a child's right to freedom of movement states:
"(1) Every child is entitled to freedom of movement subject to parental control which is not harmful to the child.
(2) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section shall affect the right of a parent, and where applicable, a legal guardian or other appropriate authority to exercise control over the movement of the child in the interest of the education, safety and welfare of the child."
What does this mean? This means that parents still have the necessary control they need over their children, and children cannot use the above rights as an excuse or reason for disobeying their parents. For example a child cannot leave the house and come back late at night without regard to a curfew fixed by his/her parents for his/her own safety and welfare just because he/she has a right to freedom of movement. The CRA will never uphold this argument.
Since rights hardly ever come without responsibilities, Section 19 of the CRA gives children responsibilities such as respecting their parents, superiors, elders at all times, and contribute to the moral well being of the society, just to mention a few. With such responsibilities it is very clear that the Child's Rights Act never intended to make children rebellious.
Those who think that there are no justifications for these rights really need to think otherwise. For example, the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion means that it is not in the interest of the child for parents to foist their ideas and religious idiosyncrasies on the child taking into cognizance the ever-evolving choices which the child may make in the future. For example, in Nigeria, there was a time when parents wanted their children to be doctors, engineers or lawyers in order to fulfill their pride and probably be called "Mama Doctor". Thus, they never listened to their children or paid attention to any other profession they had a passion for. They would force the idea of becoming a doctor into a child's mind and some will never made it through medical school because they had no passion for it. Others will go through medical school and still switch to another profession afterwards, just because they didn't want to become a doctor. Some even grow up hating their parents for that and this is not good. Though the Act recognizes that children need to be guided in making certain choices, it encourages parents to have regards to the best interest of such children in giving such directions.
A child's right to freedom of movement means that children should not be restricted unnecessarily from going to school, participating in meaningful outdoor activities, interacting with people within their environment because this indirectly hinders a child's development as education also involves moving around and not just learning in classrooms.
I explained some of the above to the principal that day but he remained adamant and since it was his school, I had to leave peacefully. All legislation have one form of criticism or the other but I believe that the Child's Rights Act 2003, Nigeria just like the Child Rights Convention plays a great role in promoting the welfare, safety, best interest and protection of children.

Hello to all Dolapci breeders!
Dolapci are not so common out of Turkey and somtimes rare to find.
I search for Dolaci Breeders in Germany! Send me a PM
But, why not start someting like a Dolapci-Breeders-Database?
If it's possible my suggestion is, why not enter down here your contact details and your location like:
For example:
Name or Membername | Country | Area/Postalcode | e-Mail/Phone/or PM | Organisation
And maybe some day everyone can find so a breeder in his area and the Dolapci find more and more dispersal.

Item Description
Painting, Battle of Hickory Point
Author: Reader, Samuel James
Date: September 13, 1856
Painting by Samuel Reader depicting the Battle of Hickory Point. Reader, an early settler of Shawnee County, was a member of a volunteer Free State company. On September 13, 1856, General James Lane heard that proslavery men were committing outrages in the town of Grasshopper Falls (Valley Falls). Lane marched to Ozawkie and recruited Free State settlers. Shortly thereafter, he heard that the proslavery forces were at Hickory Point, north of Oskaloosa, and so redirected his men there. The proslavery forces, which included about 40 South Carolinians, were under the command of Captain H. A. Lowe. According to Reader's accounts, only one Free State man was injured, but between 5-6 proslavery men were killed when these forces collided.

Opera Software on Tuesday plans to release a second preview version of Opera 9, the next version of its namesake Web browser. For the first time, the new version will include support for so-called widgets, Opera representative Thomas Ford said. Widgets are essentially small browser windows that display information taken from the Internet on a user's desktop. The notion is similar in concept to the widget idea that Apple Computer uses in the Dashboard feature of Mac OS X. "It is really a big jump for us into Web applications," Ford said. "They give people the information they want right on the desktop. Even if it is a Web page, people don't have to go to the browser to see it."

The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction is an inspiring place, where visitors can glimpse scenes from the familiar Lake District landscape, learn how nature inspired Beatrix and find out about the contribution she made to preserving the place which she made home for generations to come.
Stunning New Digital Exhibition at the World of Beatrix Potter
Since February 2013 the Bowness attraction has had a fabulous new exhibit: a state of the art, interactive Virtual World of Beatrix Potter! Children and grown ups will be able to absorb themselves in Miss Potter's fascinating history in a stunning display using cutting-edge digital interactive technology.The star attraction is the 55" High Definition MultiTouch table where visitors can explore the set of beautiful Lake District 360 degree panoramas and their relationship to Beatrix Potter's books, illustrations and life. For even more fun, children can get creative playing MultiTouch puzzles and painting games on the table.
The already hugely popular Virtual Walks exhibit will project a collection of fantastic new Lake District images associated with Beatrix Potter on three large interactive screens. Each visitor can take their own 'walk' in the Lake District visiting Ennerdale, Sawrey and Keswick, all from the comfort and warmth of the Bowness building! Running alongside this interactive exhibit, a short film 'The Tale of Mrs Heelis' provides an overview of Beatrix Potter's life-story, alongside an on-screen introduction into the brand new Peter Rabbit animations as seen on the BBC over Christmas and due to hit our TV screens from Easter.
A vast and amazingly detailed archive is there to discover in the newly-presented Time Line, presented on six HD screens displaying a rolling timeline of Beatrix Potter's life and works. For the first time in the Attraction's history, a huge wealth of historical material is being made available to visitors. There's also a new and improved foyer and gift shop with touch-screen information points throughout the exhibition.

Inside The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction
At the first stop inside The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere, visitors find themselves inside Jemima Puddle-Duck's woodland glade. Continuing, they then meet Mr Tod in Tommy Brock's house and emerge into the dappled shade of the Peter Rabbit Garden. This is a delightful place which features many of the heritage plants and flowers that Beatrix Potter depicted throughout her tales.
Moving back inside, visitors discover Mrs Tittlemouse whose busy spring cleaning. They then encounter Squirrel Nutkin in the midst of his adventures and the Fierce Bad Rabbit is as usual getting up to mischief! On rounding the next corner, visitors to the magical Attraction come across a familiar prickly washerwoman, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, who is busy in her kitchen.
Visitors then walk through a Lakeland Village, where they meet Miss Moppet, Johnny Town Mouse, the Two Bad Mice and Samuel Whiskers. Jeremy Fisher can be spied in his smelly pond and the Flopsy Bunnies observed busying themselves in their garden.
Exploring further inside The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, visitors are able to join Beatrix Potter in a virtual walk through her beloved Cumbrian countryside, journeying to the special places that inspired her work. Upon walking on, visitors warily enter Mr McGregor's garden (pictured right) and greenhouse to discover what's lurking under the plant pots and among the seed trays! Upon quietly moving on into a quiet corner, we spy Peter Rabbit's cousin Benjamin.
In the Beatrix Potter Shop visitors will find one of the most comprehensive Beatrix Potter gift ranges anywhere in the UK including toys, books, gardening gifts and nursery ideas. Afterwards visitors can unwind in the award-winning Beatrix Potter Tearoom, where visitors can sample tempting treats made from fresh local ingredients and produce grown in the Attraction's own Peter Rabbit Kitchen Garden.

Due to the success of the previous incarnation, I'd figure we do another 'OSNews Asks' item; it's a nice way to get to know each other a little more on matters that are in itself fairly irrelevant. We'll continue down the path of irrelevance by asking: What Star Trek race would you want to be, given the choice? And, of course, why? I'll start: definitely Betazoid. Reading minds, telepathy, maybe even empathic abilities, no weird ridges or other facial deformations, black eyes - what's not to like? Post your choice in the comments!

I have some questions about Adobe Lightroom, RAW photo file format and DNG files.
First, I'll ask about software.
MacBook Pro (2.33 GHz, MacOS 10.6.8, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD)
Will not be replacing this machine in the near-term, but it is a goal of mine.
I see Lightroom 4 is on Amazon for less than $120.
But would Lightroom run on my rig?

Oh Twitter. I went without you for 90 days (sort of). And now I'm back on and following all my old peeps and remembering just how hyped so many things are in your little echo chamber of a text land.
For instance, I saw a tweet with the headline from a recent Social Media Examiner piece, it read: "Research Shows Blogging A Top Focus For Marketers." That's great news for writers and bloggers alike. It means if you've been trying to make your living off of blogging, soon you might just be able to do it! Blogger for XYZ company could actually be a thing.
The crappy part about the Twitter echo chamber and a lot of online advice is people often forget to tell you how much damned work it is to get that blog up and running, get people reading it, get your company all on the same page of what's actually going to go up and what's going to be helpful. Big business gets it. But little mom and pop shop may very well just read the headline and think it's time to get a blog!
And just like they got a Twitter account, a Facebook page, a Pinterest page, an Instagram account, a Tumblr and a YouTube channel, it too will sit empty.
The long and short of it is, all this content creation stuff… you know, the fuel you need to fill your online pipeline… it's a shit ton of work. Remember how much it took just to get your business off the ground? Yeah. A full and robust online presence is like doing that all over again.
So while it's nice and fluffy to think a blog is going to solve all of your problems, get more traffic through your door and more money into your cash register, it'll be about as successful as opening your store before you've even shopped for your product if you don't approach it with a long-term vision.
But if you insist on doing it anyway…
- Decide how often you can blog WITHOUT taking away from your IGA, no not the grocery store, your income generating activities.
- Decide what you're trying to accomplish by publishing and keeping up a blog. Are you educating your customers? Sharing company updates and news? If you can't figure this out, please for the love of all things holy, don't start a blog. If some brainiac told you it would get you to the top of Google, don't start a blog. If you think it'll make you look cool and with it, don't start a blog.
- Before you start publishing, make an outline of posts and topics you can create for the first 4-5 posts.
- If you can afford it, hire an SEO person to do some research for you on some likely keywords you can target. Give him or her bonus points if they can teach you how to research these yourself over the long-term.
- DON'T pay a web designer to make you a website for $5,000. Just open a free Blogger, TypePad, WordPress, etc. site, grab a template and get going. If you want a custom template, spend $80 on one. That's all you need.
One more thing… if nobody reads your blog, it's ok. They don't read mine either. The first month I wrote Spirit of the Wench, I had 1 unique visitor. Yep. 1. Just keep at it. Consistency is key.
Good luck!

Harrell helps No. 13 Louisville cruise past Temple
PHILADELPHIA — Rick Pitino and his Louisville players have decided to stop shaving until they next lose.
The way the Cardinals are playing, they may have some pretty impressive beards.
Montrezl Harrell scored a career-high 22 points and No. 13 Louisville built a 30-point first-half lead en route to an 82-58 victory over Temple on Friday night.
"We all said, `Let's have some fun. Let's grow beards until we lose,'" Pitino said. "It's the first time in my life I'm trying to grow a beard. It's the first time I looked in the mirror and saw multifaceted hair coming in different colors. We want to have some fun right now. Hopefully, we can get on a streak and grow some full beards."
Russ Smith added 15 points to help the Cardinals (20-4, 9-2 American Athletic Conference) improve to 7-1 in their last eight games.
Wayne Blackshear finished with 13 points, Luke Hancock scored 11, and Harrell had 10 rebounds and four blocks in the game postponed a day because of a snowstorm.
"I thought everyone played well," Pitino said.
Will Cummings led Temple (6-17, 1-10) with 16 points and Anthony Lee added 14. The Owls shot 37.3 percent from the field to drop their fourth straight game and fall into a tie for last place in the conference with Central Florida.
Dalton Pepper, Temple's leading scorer, was held to seven points on 3-for-10 shooting.
"That's the way they play," Temple head coach Fran Dunphy said. "They try to take out the guy they think is the best scorer. So it's not surprising he would have a bad day."
Louisville shot over 60 percent in the first half and went on runs of 10-0 and 17-2 to take a 52-25 lead into the break. Both of those spurts were highlighted by alley oops finished by Harrell, who had four dunks in the first half and two more in the second.
Harrell's sixth dunk came with 11:04 remaining and gave Louisville its largest lead of the game to that point at 73-40. Temple only began to slice into the deficit when the Cardinals emptied their bench.
Harrell's six dunks were one shy of Louisville's single-game record set by Pervis Ellison in 1988.
"He's just got a great basketball body," Dunphy said. "He was hard for us to guard, no question about it."
Hoping for an upset, Temple designated the contest a "White-Out," distributing 8,000 white T-shirts to fans.
But because of a sparse crowd, a majority of those T-shirts were left on their seats. And the undermanned and overmatched Owls never threatened to upset the defending national champs, committing eight turnovers in the first half and shooting 29 percent from 3-point range for the game.
The Owls have lost 12 of their last 13 games.
"It is frustrating?" Dunphy said. "Yeah it is. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. But we've got to keep plugging away."
The only frustration for Louisville stemmed from the fact that Friday's game was postponed a day because of the weather. That not only extended the Cardinals' stay in Philadelphia but also extended their layoff to nine days without a game — which worried the Louisville coach.
"I'm not sure why the game was postponed to be honest with you," Pitino said. "We drove over here to practice. They were ready to play. Fran wanted to play. We wanted to play.
"But I heard the provost or the president had an engagement and couldn't make the game, so he canceled it," he added with a laugh.
The Cardinals took out all of their frustration on the rim, using some highlight-reel dunks to improve their record against unranked opponents this season to 20-0.
And with two more games against unranked teams coming up, Pitino's black-and-white peach fuzz may soon evolve into the 61-year-old coach's first full beard.
"Last year Luke Hancock and Steve Van Treese did it," Pitino said about the beard pact. "I said, `We're all going to do it this year and let's see what type of streak we can get on.' The rest of the guys are (at three days). This is only two. I had to do a commercial."
Temple fans did get some good news Friday when it was announced that Owls great Guy Rodgers had been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. A two-time All-America selection, Rodgers scored 1,767 points in three seasons (1955-58) and led the Owls to two Final Fours (1956, 1958). He will join former Temple coaches John Chaney and Harry Litwack in the Hall of Fame.

Desired Style:
Post Card
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png)
We need some post card designs for our marketing efforts. We are a real estate investment firms who buys distressed houses. We will probably by 2-4 of the designs that are presented. We send these post cards out to home owners that could be dealing with a number of circumstances. They may be behind on payments; have an impending foreclosure; dealing with probate; divorce; relocation; bankruptcy. Some terms to consider when creating the design are ugly houses, sick houses and houses that are causing stress for people. A lot of these people are overwhelmed by bills. We are not looking specifically for a lot of text but a creative representation of what I noted previously. It has to be something that would fit on a post card. A lot of times our post cards are double sided. By the way, ugly house means too many repairs; rundown; abandoned; etc.
 PSSS. I would like to see some Cartoon Character type designs as well if anyone has some thoughts there.

The seal basked on the shores of Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach before heading to Kure Beach Thursday.
The gray seal making himself comfortable on area beaches this week may look cute and cuddly, but sun worshipers heading to the shore this weekend should refrain from touching or interacting with him.
The seal, native to northern waters, basked on the shores of Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach before heading to Kure Beach Thursday afternoon. The mammal is going through a molt, replacing one fur coat with another, a process that requires time on shore, said Ann Pabst, co-director of the state's Marine Mammal Stranding Program.
"He needs to be on land for that," she said. "He needs rest and space so he can finish his molt and hopefully get on his way."
Gray seals typically aren't afraid of humans, Pabst said, so beachgoers should make sure to give the mammal his space. The seal is endangered, meaning it's against federal law to come within 50 yards – or half a football field - of one. Doing so could be hazardous to the health of both the animal and the curious beachgoer.
"That seal is a wild animal. It has amazingly sharp teeth. They carry diseases, and because he's a carnivore, he could potentially even carry rabies," Pabst said. "When the human and the seal come in close contact, one of those two is going to get hurt."
If avoiding the seal is impossible on a beach packed with Memorial Day travelers, visitors should call 911, Pabst said.
"All of the local municipalities know about it and they can get down there on scene," she said.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) -- There are several ways to safely watch the August 21st total solar eclipse. When that day rolls around, all eyes will be looking up, trying to get a glimpse of the rare celestial event.
But if you don't do it safely, you could permanently damage your eyes.
There are solar safety glasses that you can buy online. But if you want to avoid spending money, you could make a pinhole camera. A pinhole camera allows light to travel through a very small hole.
"It will protect you from looking directly at the sun. So you're going to look at the light coming through the piece of paper instead of looking directly at the light source," said Traci Kallhoff, the Director of Education at Exploration Place in Wichita.
Kallhoff showed us how to make a very simple pinhole camera using a note card. You simply make a small, round hole in the note card. Hold the card up to the sun. Light will then project onto the surface of your choice. That light is how you watch the eclipse.
NASA has a better, yet more complex, pinhole hole camera using aluminum foil and a cereal box.
"The cardboard box is going to provide a little more coverage for the directed light source to come in, so it will shadow ambient light," said Kallhoff.
But if you have the choice between the solar safe glasses and a pinhole camera, Kallhoff recommends the glasses.
"It's just a much more intense experience to be able to look directly at the sun safely than having the experience happen behind you," said Kallhoff.

Redskins linebacker London Fletcher will play his 236th consecutive game tonight.
The 37-year-old Fletcher is active for the Redskins against the Giants, keeping his streak of consecutive games played intact. Fletcher has never missed a game, starting with Week One of his rookie year, in 1998.
Fletcher had been listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but we've reached the point where we can assume with Fletcher that if there's any chance that he can get himself on the field, he's going to.
The Redskins' inactives are QB Rex Grossman, WR Dezmon Briscoe, CB Richard Crawford, LB Roddrick Muckelroy, OG Josh LeRibeus, OG Adam Gettis and DE Doug Worthington.
The Giants' inactives are LB Jacquian Williams, TE Travis Beckum, RB Ryan Torain, DE Adewale Ojomo, TE Adrien Robinson, DT Marvin Austin and WR Domenik Hixon.
