Learning about insomnia is the first step to getting it under control. That's where the following paragraphs can help you out. If you would like to get your sleep schedule on track again, this article is for you.
Let your anxieties drift away. Exercise each morning to relieve stress. Don't exercise near bedtime, though. Meditation or yoga can be practiced at night before you go to bed. Relaxation methods such as these are helpful in stilling the waters of an active mind.
If sleep is avoiding you, double-check any clocks you have in your bedroom. Clocks can be a distraction when you're trying to sleep. Clocks that tick and are bright can both interfere with your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Sleep however long it takes to feel fully rested. Don't try to make up for lost sleep. Each night you should sleep until you feel rested. It is not possible to lose sleep some nights and catch up on it other nights.
Monitor the air flow and temperature in your sleeping quarters. Rooms that are too warm will make sleeping difficult. This can make it harder to sleep in that room. The best room temperature for a restful sleep is 65 degrees. Layer blankets if you have to, to arrive at the best temperature.
Firm Mattress
If you suffer from insomnia often, look into getting a firm mattress. A mattress that is too soft does little to support your body. This causes stress for your body and may keep you awake. A firm mattress can really help you out.
Schedule your sleep. Your body will get used to a pattern and become accustomed to sleeping at the same times every day. If you have a very random and chaotic lifestyle, it is sure to disrupt your sleep patterns.
Don't drink or eat anything before bed. Eating can get your digestive system all worked up and drinking will fill up your bladder. Try to target no less than two hours before bed, if you are going to have a snack and drink. Dreaming can be caused by late night snacks, as well.
Just like children when they're young get to bed faster when they use a routine every day for bedtime, you can get yourself to fall asleep and keep asleep if you too have a routine before sleeping. Your routine might include 30 minutes of peaceful piano music, meditation, or a relaxing soak in a warm bath. If you incorporate these changes in your lifestyle, you will have little trouble sleeping at night.
Clearly, there are ways to handle insomnia. You just have to tackle it with the right kind of information for it to work out for you. Use the tips here to help with the insomnia you are suffering from.

Following on from my demonstration of BT's intranet at IBF24 last week (see my posting 'How easy can it be to use an intranet?') it always causes a great deal of comment when I say BT makes money from its intranet.
I don't mean by selling our intranet services based on how successfully we use them within BT. No. I mean intranet services that people in BT use on our intranet which we get paid for.
Here are 2 examples that BT has:
1. Many organisations advertise in our corporate newsletter and our online newsdesk, BT today. People have accepted for years that adverts appear in it as they do for may other newspapers. We extended this to our newsdesk on BT's intranet so it didn't distract users from their main purpose for using the site – finding the latest news – while encouraging them to click on the adverts. It brings in several tens of thousands of pounds each year. Yes, you did read that correctly! We haven't had any complaints about the advertising and it is the only site where it is allowed on our intranet.
2. BT has a business partnership with Yahoo! Apart from the portal and internet search option we offer customers who choose from our range of broadband packages (excellent value by the way if you're intertested), we now offer our intranet users a BT Yahoo! internet search option. It means Yahoo! gets more usage of its internet search than before and BT gets a % of the sponsored links people in BT click on when searching. No one has complained about the restriction and accept the business benefit to BT if they use it.
So, not only do we provide what users want, we are able to make some money to invest in future development of our intranet. A win-win!

E.l.f (eyes lips face) cosmetics review
Probably half of my make up is from elf. This is because the products are so cheap and affordable and most of the products are amazing and they can be pretty good dupes for other higher expensive brands. The company is cruelty free and animal friendly and that to be honest is impressive. The studio line is really really great, in my opinion. You can buy elf cosmetics from www.eyeslipsface.com if you're from the US. But I buy mine from the UK site www.elfcosmetics.co.uk . The customer services of the UK team is amazing. The last time I bought from the site, I got my products in 3 days so they are definitely trying to improve on the shipping service. Plus if you follow them on the facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/elfcosmeticsUK you can get the details as soon as a promotional code comes out and restocking and stuff like that. Plus – the more fans, the more codes :D
You can see reviews on www.makeupalley.com for their products. I will review the products I have purchased very soon so stay tuned :D xx
FTC: I am not affiliated with the site, and I have purchased all of these products with my own money.
The following are the products I will review gradually. If you really really want to see photos, swatches or reviews of one of these products real soon please specify your preferred product in a comment below.

In Search of...Career or Love
Whether you're single or attached, a parent or not, gay or straight, you're more than likely focused on one of two things right now: your career or your love life.
This choice isn't based on an astrological sign or even your upbringing. Modern day men and women think for themselves now more than ever and we're either trying to get rich or trying to get hitched. It just is what it is. What about those doing both? Oh they're out there too, but today we're focusing on people actively seeking one or the other. You'll find however, that while we are looking at the either or, the effects of seeking both will also come to light.
First we'll go with the love birds. These individuals just want love. They date in hopes of finding the perfect partner and just want to get married praying that they end up living the fairy tale they envision. Sure, some of the love-seeking ladies may have "daddy issues" and some of they guys just might have a few "mommy issues". It just comes with the territory. But there's nothing wrong with that, right? After all, we all need love-no one will deny it. Love is defined as an intense feeling of affection; a person or thing that one loves... when you feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone. Who doesn't want that? Many people find it daily. I personally love love. It's great. You feel great, you make someone else feel great. Together you think nothing can come between you and you can overcome anything. It's a great feeling you share with someone else who essentially completes you...the kind of fearlessness you experience as a kid. All we need is love, love.
Sure, a career can't hold you at night, but love doesn't pay the bills. So what happens when that intense feeling or attachment fizzles or the financial obstacles life throws at you become too much to handle? Then you fight, you decide this isn't for you...you break the bond because love turned out to be less than what you both really needed as security. What now? Do you move on to the next, or try to make it work because that's what you're 'supposed to do'? You have to make a decision to consider yourself a failure in love or move on-either to another person or with yourself. But if you're moving from person to person, hoping that they're the one but getting your heart broken over and over...where are you really going with love?
Think for a moment the average amount of time we as humans spend thinking about a break-up. You think of all the reasons that person is terrible, you accuse, you get depressed, wonder what you did wrong, exclaim what they did wrong and carry on like that for a few days. Some people carry on with questions in their head for months. It's human nature. But we never ask the real questions to ourselves, about ourselves. Why was I not happy? What am I missing in my life that makes me feel empty? Why do I feel lonely when I'm always with someone?
More than likely, you're not satisfied with where you are in your life. All of those goals and dreams you had for yourself before you met this person-where did they go? Into thin air? Nope. They're still there. Still in your mind, still in your heart. But you suppressed your hopes and dreams to be in a relationship because that's what we do. You can't go to all of the seminars, classes, events you'd go to as a 'single' person. All of the events that put you in contact with people that could change your life. You could meet your mentor, get advice from someone you admire, get amazing career advice...even work a few different jobs to see what really grabs you...what you have a real passion for. But if you do all of that, how will you make those nightly calls? Plan date night? Go to the park to just hang? We can try to do it all but quickly realize we can't do both. There will be numerous times that opportunities within your career track will suffer because your significant other really wants you to have movie night...and times that your relationship will suffer because you have to work a full day then go to a networking mixer...where you meet a great contact and chat for an hour or two. And maybe you figured not doing those things would make it last...maybe you figured that was your "sacrifice" for love. Either way, the reality is that you can't truly love someone else the way they deserve to be loved and have the flexibility to give them the time they need and deserve until you're happy with yourself and have accomplished goals you set for your life.
Think about it. Neither men nor women have any business complaining about not having a date in days or weeks... or that their friends are married and they're single...when they themselves have no idea where they're going in life. No plan, no achieved goals, no vision. At the end of the day, you could meet the man or woman of your dreams and they may keep it moving because you don't have any real plans for yourself other than having a partner. Some may say that's rude or egotistical, but it's reality. Why would you want to be with someone who doesn't share the core value for goals that you do? That's something to think about. Something else to think about are the individuals who take you through the runaround even though they don't see a future with you...or rather, they see that you don't have real plans for yourself. You fall for them then get hurt because you were hoping for that magic and they were just entertaining themselves. Now you're that "damaged" guy or girl...whether it's self-proclaimed or an assessment from outsiders.
You may know the person you're supposed to be with this very moment. But you're not together because-either consciously or subconsciously- you want to live the dreams and plans you have for yourself so you both can love each other proper.
Be patient. Once you're happy with yourself, your life and the beautiful things you've done...it is then that you'll truly be open to the love you and your partner are meant to have.
Until next time beautiful people...I wish you understanding, achievement and love...in that particular order.
Thanks for reading and check back in at 11:11 pm for the Side Chicks & Scandal post!

If you have a low cable pulley with a rope attachment available in your gym, the rope curl is an effective exercise for targeting the arm flexor muscles. Similar to the dumbbell hammer curl, the rope curl involves the flexion of the arm using a neutral (palms facing each other) grip, which results in greater activity of the brachioradialis and brachialis compared to the biceps.
The brachioradialis is a muscle which runs from the forearm to the upper arm, thus making the rope curl a good forearm exercise in itself. The brachialis is a muscle which runs beneath the biceps, and is also responsible for the flexion of the elbow joint. As said, these two play a greater role in the rope curl compared to the biceps, which are more active during traditional barbell, dumbbell and EZ bar curls where a supinated (palms facing up) grip is used.
Due to using a low cable pulley, the rope curl can also be performed lying down. This can not only be useful for athletes who wish to use stricter form, but is also a great option for those with back issues or other injuries which make the standing version not feasible.

Book #1 In 2005
After devoting yesterday to family, friends and football, today begins the 2005 edition of 52 Books, 52 Weeks. When Atomic Books offered to sponsor my reading this year, I decided to let them pick my reading list for January (yes, I am a trusting person). Luckily, the staff has good taste (at least according to my tastes), and chose some books I had been waiting to read as well as other interesting choices.
My first book this year will be Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words, by Jay Rubin. I have been looking forward to reading this biography of one of my favorite authors.

Legal Marketing Communication Strategy
When was the last time you gave any thought to your legal marketing communication strategy?
Have you ever delivered a message to an audience only to have them misinterpret your intent?
Did you ever communicate something to a group, expecting them to take action, only to be disappointed with the results?
These scenarios are quite common but few people make adjustments to their communication strategy as a result.
Today we are going to focus our discussion on how you communicate your message to your target audience. Our goal is to improve your message delivery regardless of the media you choose.
The ideas we will exchange today will work in print (direct mail, advertisements or articles), oral (speaking engagements, radio and television interviews, advertisements), and one-to-one communication.
Before we get deep into the details I'd like you to take a moment and imagine a scenario.
You are at a speaking engagement. The speaker gets up there, and he drones on and on and on for an hour or more. He speaks in a monotone voice. He uses no inflection and tells no stories. He simply delivers factually accurate information as if he is reading from the dictionary.
How would that make you feel?
Bored? Disinterested? Restless?
The speaker may even lull you to sleep and his message would be lost. He could have announced that you just won 1 million dollars, and you would never have known it.
That is not an effective way to deliver a message.
Everything in life is about energy, and we're going to help you discover how to deliver a message so that your audience is motivated to take action.
You want people to jump up off their seats and get moving. The way to do that is not only to have a powerful message that motivates people, but also to deliver it in a way that is forceful and effective.
Now, you don't have to be an excitable personality type. You don't have to be like Jim Cramer from "Mad Money." You don't have to be like Tony Robbins on late night TV. You don't have to be a fanatic in order to get your message to come through.
But you should use your personality, and you should use the techniques I'm going to share with you today.
You can get your message through to any audience at any time whether you're speaking in front of people at a conference, on television, on the radio or in the written word. You can convey this passion, get people up off their seats and motivated to take action.
The first element of crafting an effective message is energy. You must let your passion come through during your delivery.
You don't have to be a motivational speaker, jumping up and down, getting overly excited. But you do have to vary your voice inflection and tone, and you have to let your passion for the topic come through. I don't care if you're talking about quantum physics, or if you're trying to get somebody jazzed up about a charity and get them to contribute $1,000.00. You've got to be passionate about the topic and the audience has to feel that passion.
When it comes to marketing, a conversational tone almost always wins the day.
Too often I see people put out marketing material that looks very sterile and academic, and they wonder why they don't get results. The reason is because the tone of the message doesn't resonate with the audience.
You must produce marketing material that is conversational. Use the first person tone of voice. The pronouns "I" and "you" are not dirty words. They may be verboten in academia but they are critical in marketing. Speak to people as if they're people, whether you're doing it in a written format or in an actual conversation from the stage, or on television.
Imagine you are having a conversation with someone who is sitting directly in front of you. You're not receiving an academic grade. The grade you get is when people come to you with money in their hand.
The way to motivate people to come to you with money in their hand is to develop a relationship, and the way to develop relationships is through conversations. Write in the first person. Speak in the first person as if you're just having a conversation in a one-on-one setting.
Right now, in this article, I'm speaking directly to you. I'm talking to you, and I thank you for being here, and I'm glad you're with me. We're developing a relationship right now. This is how you want to develop relationships with all of your clients.
The third element in a successful communication strategy is your opinion. You have an opinion. Being neutral is not a way to go through life. If you have no feeling for any topic, you are going to be the blandest person on the planet. No one is going to want to hang around you.
You have opinions on everything. People you meet know that you have opinions on everything. When you don't share your opinions with people, you appear to be guarded. It's as if you're hiding something.
In your marketing material, you must share an opinion. Yes, people will disagree with you, and yes, you will drive some people away. But you will also attract people to you in droves. The people who are magnetically attracted to you will be even more attracted, and more loyal if they share your point of view. Regardless of who you are and what your opinions are, people will be attracted to you.
The example I give all the time of this comes from radio at two different ends of the spectrum.
On the right you have Rush Limbaugh, who's a very conservative, right-wing figure who agitates people all the time. He gets people on the right very, very excited. He gets people on the left really, really angry. People listen each and every day. Why do they listen? Some listen because they agree with him. Some listen because they hate him. All of them listen because they want to hear what he has to say next.
The person on the left who does the same exact thing is Howard Stern. He doesn't generally take political positions, but he is outrageous. People who are liberal, people who enjoy that type of humor, listen every single day. Why do they do it? They want to hear what he has to say next. They want to hear his opinion. That's why they listen every day.
Both men, different ends of the spectrum, express their opinion, and people come back for more. And guess what…These people sell tons of products and services. They command high advertising rates. People take their word on the quality of the goods and services they advertise because they appear genuine.
You don't have to be a controversial talk show host. You don't have to be a fanatic. But you do have to express an opinion because people know it's there, and they want to hear it from you. The folks with whom your opinion resonates will be people who are magnetically attracted and loyal to you.
The element of an effective communicative strategy is the narrative. If you're trying to make a point to someone, if you want to bond with people, if you want to create a relationship, you have to be able to tell stories.
The story I use to open up all my presentations is the story of how I started my own business.
Over a decade ago I was a corporate executive working for the Gallup Organization. Known for its public opinion poll, Gallup also has a successful consulting division, and I headed up the Manhattan office, in New York City.
At the time I was working on a project that I had to deliver to the CEO of a Fortune 100 pharmaceutical company. It was a very, very important project. We had just gotten some data in, and I was compiling it with my team. We were going to deliver a report to the company's Board of Directors in two weeks.
Then on this cold December morning, I was sitting in my office preparing to leave for a lunch date with my wife when the phone rang.
On the other end was the CEO of this pharmaceutical company, and he said to me:
"I have to go to China on the day we're supposed to get the report from you. Can you come over right now and give me a very quick executive briefing?"
I dropped what I was doing. I cancelled the appointment with my wife and I ran out into the very crisp December air, and down the street to this executive's office.
I was crossing the street at Sixth Avenue and 45th Street, when all of a sudden I was struck by a taxicab.
In that moment, I was paralyzed from the armpits down.
As I was being wheeled through the hospital hallway on the west side of Manhattan, I thought:
"My goodness, the one thing I really wanted to do today, have lunch with my wife, I can't do because I was heading off to work. How screwed up are my priorities? If I get the chance, I'm going to change. I'm never going to let my work dictate how I live my life."
Once again, I was putting my family behind my work needs. I was putting my work ahead of my family needs. All the money I made was not important any longer because my life would have been changed for the worse.
Well, thank goodness I have completely physically recovered from that accident and I also recovered mentally.
From that point on, I decided that I was no longer going to put my work requirements ahead of my family. I quit that job and started my own company.
Now I help others have what I have. I help them discover how they can make a great living and live a great life ®.
That is the story I tell about how I got into this profession and why I focus on helping attorneys build a business around their lifestyle. It resonates with people. It's powerful.
Now I'm not telling you to go out and get hit by a taxicab so you have a good story to tell.
What I am saying is that you have to have things in your life that have happened to you that have created the beliefs that make you who you are. Tell those stories to folks. If you want to stress a point to someone, whether it's an academic point or a passionate point like the one I just made, you must have a story. You must have a narrative that goes along with it.
Stories engage a person's emotions.
If you want to get people to come over to your side, if you want to sway their opinion, if you want to develop a relationship with someone, you have to be able to connect with them at an emotional level. If you connect with them at an emotional level, you can help them understand through logic and reason why they're feeling the way they're feeling. Once you do that, you have a relationship.
Connecting to people on an emotional level is important. Doing it through narrative is critical. You have to build stories into your communication, whether it is written or spoken word.
Call To Action
Action is the ultimate goal of marketing communication. Every communication tool you use, every message you put out, has to have a call to action.
You must answer the question: What's next?
That's the question going through the mind of your client after he is hit with your marketing message.
He wants to know what he should do next. Tell him in plain language.
People don't remember things. That's why repetition is critically important. People follow messages they hear first, messages they hear last, and messages that are repeated over and over and over again. I'm not saying you have to say things the same way over and over and over again. You can change the way you say things, but repeating your message is critical.
Saying things multiple times will help it resonate with folks. Repeating things in writing multiple times will help it resonate, will help it sink in, it will make sure that it connects with people in a way that they can understand.
Rephrase your message and your call to action. Say it multiple times. Use different voice inflections each time.
The minimum number of times to communicate a call to action is seven. People must hear a message seven times before their brain processes it.
Don't worry about the repetition making people uncomfortable. It won't. People may hear the message on the sixth or the seventh time, for the first time, so they won't know it has been repeated.
Finally, we've come to the last aspect of communication strategy. This is really important and most people don't get it.
Your message has to be focused, simple and concise. You only want to convey one point at a time and you want to do it in a way that resonates with people.
The best speech is a short speech. The best article is a short article.
You are creating a marketing message that has punch, resonates with people, gets you into their mind quickly and motivates them to take action.
I know this is a lot to think about. It is a lot to mentally digest. But this strategy, this formula, is the recipe for successful communication. Read it. Re-read it. Use this article as a checklist.
Following this step-by-step guide will help you deliver effective messages every time.

Three Core Strategies For Lawyer Marketing
Sometimes the marketing world can seem confusing. This is especially true with all the ads on display at events, social media buzz, and salespeople constantly calling on the telephone. Many lawyers are already at the point of marketing overwhelm.
That's why it makes sense to take a step back and break down marketing for lawyers into three primary strategies. These are the basic application of your skills. They can be applied in a number of ways, but at their core, there are only three specific things that require your focus.
They are:
- Speaking
- Writing
- Networking
You may be wondering how this is possible when you hear about social media and internet marketing and referral services.
Ultimately, all lawyer marketing comes down to these three strategies in one form or another. Let's look at the different variations:
You can:
- Speak at conventions or events hosted by others
- Speak at events you host yourself
- Develop and provide educational content (through speaking) for people who may refer business to you
- Offer videos of you covering topics on the internet (Youtube, other video sharing sites, your website)
- Provide audio content of your topics in a podcast
- Give media interviews and commentary on your area of expertise
All of these variations and the dozens of others I did not mention stem from you giving a speech or talk to a group of people. If you have the skills (or can develop the skills) to do that, you can apply those skills to multiple venues for the purposes of lawyer marketing.
You can:
- Write and publish your work yourself (on a website, blog or other internet vehicle)
- Write for trade magazines and publications
- Write and publish your own newsletter
- Write and send direct mail
- Author a book
There are hundreds of possibilities for written content. Articles, newsletters, magazines, books all need experts to provide information. Fill this need.
Networking is not necessarily about attending meetings of groups, shaking hands and passing out business cards. It is also connecting with people in a one-to-one setting.
Here are some ways you can leverage networking:
- Reach out to people in the news and congratulate them on their notoriety (if they are in the news for something positive).
- Send a hand written note to a person you admire each day.
- Look up the charitable causes of people you respect and offer to help them.
- Volunteer for a leadership role in organizations where you can apply your talent
- Find elements of commonality between you and someone you want to meet and reach out using the common ground as a platform
- Attend meetings of groups and identify specific people with whom you'd like to interact and seek out those people.
These are just a few of the many networking possibilities that present themselves in everyday life. Take advantage of them and push yourself out of your comfort zone.
Marketing does not have to be complicated, even for lawyers. These three core strategies make it simple. Pick one and get started today and add others as time goes on.
The key is to select a strategy that is in your comfort zone and it will help you achieve your marketing goals.

Take Me to the Rodeo - How Riders Manage the Buck and How You Can Too!
When people think of rodeo, images of cowboys and bulls usually come to the forefront of their minds. Rodeo is the athletic event that takes place when a cowboy or wrangler rides a bull for as long as possible. Of course, there are other smaller events that go into the average rodeo, but in general, a rodeo is equated with bull-riding. If you are interested in attending a rodeo or in being involved in a rodeo, then take some time to read through these basic informational tips. Rodeo riding is rather hard and the sport tends to be very regional. However, if you have the drive and dedication, you can rodeo just about anywhere.
What is Rodeo?
The rules of rodeo are very simple. Basically, a cowboy waits atop a bull inside of a pin. When the door to the pin is released, the bull charges out into a stadium. The rodeo stadium is about the size of a football field and has a dirt or mud base to it. The cowboy or wrangler must then stay on the bull for as long as possible, which is difficult because the bull will buck and attempt to throw the rider off. When the rider is thrown off of the bull, he must scramble to get away from the bull, as the bull will be annoyed and will continue to buck.
Where Can I Watch a Rodeo?
The best place to watch a rodeo is out in the American West. Just about every state or locality has a group of rodeo riders. The sport is highly respected in states like Montana and Wyoming. Cheyenne is home to world famous annual rodeos that draw on-lookers from all over the region. If you are interested in finding a rodeo in a non-western state, then look to your local state fairs for good rodeos.
How Can I Try Rodeo?
If you would like to try your hand at rodeo, the best advice you can receive is: think twice. Rodeo has a huge number of injuries, including spinal and head injuries. A bull is much larger and heavier than a human and, therefore, poses a great risk to your health when you attempt to ride it. However, if you must try a rodeo, then it is a good idea to look for rodeo fairs and beginner clinics in your area. If there are none, then consider enrolling in a rodeo camp in a western American state.
Rodeo is a wonderful spectator sport that involves massive crowd support and suspense. Rodeo riders try to stay on the bull the longest in order to win the rodeo. However, because the bull will likely not be pleased to have you on his back, it is very hard to stay on for long. If you are interested in watching a rodeo, investigate options at your state fair. Otherwise, attend one of the many rodeos that take place in the American West, other wise know as Rodeo Land.

What's the best JIRA component assignment for microemulator issues. In my opinion, it should be Classlib with [microemulator] prefix, but if that component is very tightly related to the classlib SVN location then something else should be taken. Currently, microemulator is in fact a class library that runs on standard VM. 2. I'd suggest moving microemulator in SVN one level deeper to the trunk folder, we'll be able to easy make branches, tags in the future. I've looked into Harmony repository that is a popular way to organize "super" modules. 3. How the write access rights are organized in SVN repository? I mean we need something that allows restrict write access to the specific modules inside microemulator, e.g. upcoming MIDP API implementation (microemu-midp) should be read only module for me because of my ACQ restrictions.

Client: Dem-Con Companies
Industry: Waste & Recycling Services, Educational Outreach
Services: Scriptwriting, Video Production, Electrical Engineering, Coding, 3D Modeling, 3D Printing, Graphic Design
When Dem-Con wanted to update their educational outreach center with an exhibit that would show how the recycled materials they collect go on to become new products, we had an idea. After months of video production, design, electrical engineering, and coding, that idea became a reality, and a whole new way to display video was born.
The invention itself uses a Raspberry Pi single-board computer and NFC reader to scan tags affixed to the recycled items. When a particular item is set on the scanner, an LED ring lights up (in a color corresponding to that particular material according to Dem-Con's color-coded system) and a video about how that item was made is played. This tactile method of triggering videos is irresistibly fun to play with, and the effect of our host walking onto the screen and describing the item set before him makes a striking impact.
Assembling the components.
To create the videos, we traveled to over a dozen companies throughout Southern Minnesota, documenting the fascinating ways in which recycled materials are processed and transformed into new products. This was combined with footage of our host, Terry Weston, shot on a white cyclorama explaining these processes in a fun way that appeals to our primary audience of schoolchildren, but is informative for adults as well.
The entire device is contained in a small platform connected to a television. Sunstone also designed wall decals that explain the kiosk and entice visitors to try it out. The kiosk was unveiled at a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency training event to the great interest of those in attendance. It has continued to impress tour groups of all ages, informing them about important recycling topics in an entertaining and memorable way. 𝓢
Special thanks to the businesses featured in this project!

The Great Pinterest Experiment: One Year In
Last summer, Kids.Gov revamped its presence on Pinterest in an attempt to find new ways to connect with its followers. The Marketing Team set out to learn more about our audiences and the kind of content they like. Despite being a difficult platform to navigate, we set lofty goals for ourselves and developed a timely strategy to pin every day. A year in… Twelve months later, our metrics are up and we correctly calculated that a shift to educational content would be key.

After years of writing standard narrative free verse, I began experimenting with the prose-poem in order to break out of my habitual rhythm of line breaks and syntax. The looser format allows me to free-associate and come up with fresher images. The four sections of "Delivered" were prompted by random words that I picked out of my Magnetic Poetry Kit, some of which remain as the section titles.
One day a man with a package came to the door. You'd long since grown tired of everything that was given to you. But like a good student you followed another stranger's directions, signing for the box of porcelain or steaks. Only then did you notice the UPS man's tanned legs messy with hair, his blunt fingers and their uneven nails. In another moment you could look him in the face. Still just a fixer for a different job. But you can't evade your signature, one more committed cost you'll have to borrow against the future to pay.
In the guest bedroom you can pretend to be new here. Lie back on the chartreuse field as if your white body were fresh from the store, a crisp and uncreased sheet. The man who brought something you've forgotten, the man in dark brown schoolboy shorts, tramps in. He resists imagination. You want to get down to the drive, the common underneath. But the wrapping, stubbornly real, frets you. His cowlicked hair, rough smell of truck fuel and sandwiches. He might start telling you about his hobbies. As if you needed to remember that in the shower. Your hands slick with pleasure, your mind a dark pool, would you suddenly think: ice fishing, carving wooden ducks?
This is your theatre. You slide out of your dress, unclip your brightened hair, curtains falling over curtains. The man unlaces his shoes. He takes some time untying each bow. You wonder if he is a careful person or wears his shoes too tight, what each possibility would mean in bed. There is an old red scratch on his leg. Your coverlet is smooth green brocade, lifted back for him, as you wait for him to descend. The space beside you is empty and fine. How amazed you are when he kneels beside the bed to pray.
An abashed breeze drags gauze across your thighs. The window light shows your man hesitating over a shirt button. You return your bare feet to the floor, touch the wiry curls of his chest. Let's go into the kitchen now. The modest box still on the high chrome counter. Shielded in your bathrobe, you slit the brown cardboard with scissors. Peaches in rows neat as billiard balls. Sweet sunrise juice till you hit the stone, dark red and involuted like a brain. The man puts his hand over yours, your hand on the knife on the plate. You cut a crescent slice, lift it to his mouth.

This week we are getting ready to replace all of our windows on the second floor of the house. They are very special windows because they are a product designed by our son, Colin. A few years ago, when he first told us about his new job, he explained that he would be designing windows that would need to withstand hurricanes. To determine their strength, he would be shooting lumber at windows in an effort to design a window that would not shatter. I don't know how all of his experiments are working, but we knew it would be a fun job for Colin. We are going to be replacing our old windows with the new product line that Colin oversees. Our old drafty, moldy, windows will be replaced this weekend.
We are having fun with our good days the Lord has given us, and the winter will soon be over. I bought some cottage cheese today with a "sell by" date of March 1. Spring is not that far away. Lord willing, we will once again be looking at the yard in bloom through our new windows.

Target Markets for Hyper-VBy Frank Ohlhorst | Print
After a long, intensive beta process, Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualization is now ready for the masses. But will enterprises turn away from leading players such as VMware and Citrix and flock to the new technology?
Pretty much any enterprise can benefit from the virtual server model; even small businesses will appreciate the increased reliability offered by a virtualized environment. For solution providers, early adopters will become the bread and butter for maximizing the sales potential of Hyper-V, associated software, services and hardware. Luckily, it is easy to identify those who will be most likely to adopt Hyper-V based solutions. Those potential early adopters include:
- Those looking to consolidate hardware in the data center.
- Those looking to reduce server management overhead.
- Those looking to increase efficiency.
- Those looking to reduce operational costs.
- Those looking to increase network resiliency.
- Those looking to improve or enable scalability.
Most any business could fit into one or more of those categories, which will make selling Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V an easy challenge for most solution providers. What's more, efficiency improvements, along with proposed savings should make it easy for those business operatives in charge of finances to loosen the purse strings.

Tata trust strengthens Cornell's ties to India, and to eminent alumnus, with $50 million endowment
Cornell University receives an endowment of $50 million from the Tata Education and Development Trust, a philanthropic entity of India's Tata group
Cornell University has received an endowment of $50 million from the Tata Education and Development Trust, a philanthropic entity of India's Tata group. The endowment consists of $25 million to establish the Tata-Cornell Initiative in Agriculture and Nutrition, which will contribute to advances in nutrition and agriculture for India, and $25 million for the Tata Scholarship Fund for Students from India, to help attract more of the best and brightest students to Cornell from India.
Ratan Tata, '62, one of Cornell's most eminent alumni, is Chairman of Tata Sons, the holding company of the Tata group. Tata was named one of the 30 most respected CEOs in the world by Barron's magazine last year, and the Tata group was awarded the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy in 2007.
Cornell's president, David Skorton, announced the gift during his state of the university address on October 17, calling it "one of the most generous endowments ever received from an international benefactor by an American university."
The Tata group is one of India's oldest, largest and most respected business conglomerates, operating in seven business sectors and employing around 320,000 people. The Tata Education and Development Trust's primary objectives include promoting the acquisition of knowledge by Indian youth in leading global academic institutions and aiding research in agriculture and nutrition.
Tata companies and Tata trusts spent $170 million in 2007-08 – 3 per cent of the aggregated net profits of Tata companies – on a variety of causes, including science, medicine, social services, rural welfare, performing arts, education and the needs of children. Tata philanthropy has established pioneering national institutions in India in the fields of social science, cancer research and treatment, and tropical disease research.
In a prepared statement, Mr Skorton said of the gift: "Cornell is a better place thanks to its longstanding academic and research connections to India, through our faculty and researchers and, most especially, our students. This visionary gift sets a new course that befits the history of our partnership with India and the needs of the new century. With the Tata Scholarship Fund for Students from India, Cornell will be able to welcome many more of the best and brightest Indian students in a manner that would make Ezra Cornell proud, that is regardless of their financial circumstances. And, building on the remarkable achievements in India throughout the better part of the past century, the Tata-Cornell Initiative in Agriculture and Nutrition will increase collaboration among Indian and Cornell scientists and students in nutrition and agriculture to improve the livelihoods and nutritional status of the rural poor in India."
The goal of the new agriculture initiative is to improve the productivity, sustainability and profitability of India's food system, with the aim of reducing poverty and malnutrition, said Alice Pell, Cornell vice provost for international relations.
Record high food prices, dietary changes, climate change and increasing energy costs underscore how changes in the food system affect the poor. Although Cornell already has numerous successful public / private partnerships in both agriculture and nutrition in India, the gift will extend existing relationships and permit development of new initiatives, according to Ms Pell.
Cornell's longstanding expertise in international agriculture and nutrition will receive a significant boost through Tata's gift, Ms Pell said. Her office will work with an advisory board, to be co-chaired by Tata and Mr Skorton, to decide the type and scope of initiatives to be undertaken, she said.
"Although the Tata funds will be used to address problems in rural India, the gift will also help us learn how universities can better contribute to development and poverty reduction in other parts of the world," Ms Pell said. And, as a longtime faculty member who has worked in these areas, Ms Pell also expressed gratitude for the "fantastic opportunities" that such a gift will provide for students and researchers.
The establishment of the $25 million scholarship fund will help meet the Tata group's pledge to bring more Indian students to Cornell. The scholarships will be offered to between 6 and 10 students annually, depending on level of need, and could ultimately support up to 25 Tata scholars at Cornell at any one time.
The university's entire endowment for international financial aid is about $1.5 million per year, which covers about a dozen new students a year from outside the US, Canada and Mexico, and is often allocated for students from specific parts of the world, according to Doris Davis, Cornell's associate provost for admissions and enrollment.
After being in India, meeting prospective students last year, Ms Davis recalled: "I met so many bright, talented students who would make such a contribution to Cornell. Now I can go back and tell the Cornell story with this added information – not only is Cornell committed to admitting students from India, but now we have the resources to help students who want to attend Cornell with their financial needs."
Tata's scholarship gift comes on the heels of a new Cornell financial aid initiative that took effect this semester. About 4,500 undergraduates are already benefiting from the plan, which greatly reduces the amount of loan debt for students from families with certain income levels. The plan covers qualifying students from the United States, as well as Canadians and Mexicans, but does not cover other international students.
The Tata scholarships will be increased to the optimal number over three or four years. During that period, Cornell will launch an extensive outreach campaign in India to build awareness of the scholarships.

Bantam Bantam Racing
BSA Owners Club
BSA Bantam Club
There was a time when the country was buzzing with D1 Bantams, not least those owned and run by the General Post Office which for decades ran a highly efficient telegram service.
Between 1948 and 1963, tens of thousands of D1s were manufactured by BSA, all following the same basic formula of a crude telescopic front end and plunger rear (rigid up until 1950), and an easily maintained 123cc single cylinder two-stroke engine in the middle.
▲ Note the leg shields on this rigid framed BSA D1 Bantam. Essential accessories for a convincing running example or restoration project.
Early telegram boys were treated in much the same way as military recruits. They were uniformed, regimented and heavily disciplined with strict codes of conduct.
The first UK motorised telegram service started in Leeds in the 1930s. At its peak, around 65 million telegrams were delivered, but it was never an economically viable service and was run at a loss.
As telephone ownership increased, so the need for the telegram service diminished. In 1982, when telegram deliveries could be counted in hundreds rather than thousands or tens of thousands, the service was scrapped.
▲ Small, and not very punchy, but a perfectly viable 123cc British two-stroke engine that mobilised an army of telegram boys.
For a while, the bikes were largely forgotten, except, that is, by a small core of disciples who not only loved the original D1 Bantam, but were enamoured by the bright red livery for which they were so famous.
Sumpster Ian Hargrave is one such Bantam aficionado. Here's his personal account of BSA D1 ownership told in his own words.
▲ Ian's 123cc BSA D1 Bantam as purchased in 1987. In 1950, rigid frames gave way to plungers (as seen on this example).
Ian Hargrave's story
I bought the Bantam in 1987 for £300 through a friend of mine who was a mechanic and a BSA fanatic. I had just moved in with my soon-to-be-wife and it was to be my main means of transport to work in a daily commute between Twyford and Slough, Berkshire.
I rode it for 3 years, but due to the lack of a garage it had to be stored outside under a tarpaulin, and after an unfriendly first winter the Bantam began to object, refusing to start in the cold and stalling in the rain.
Consequently it was reserved for more clement weather, and I was prompted to buy a Japanese bike with more modern electrics for the day to day trips to work.
▲ Ian's 123cc BSA D1 Bantam as restored in 2013
With the bike needing more attention each time I rode it I started to have ideas on refurbishing the bike, and bringing it back to original condition. With that in mind, I began collecting parts such as new exhaust, a wiring loom, and new gaskets, and eventually the bike was completely dismantled and stored in boxes in the garage.
Then along came the children, so the project took a back seat.
In 1998, however, the bike was transferred to a friend's workshop with the greatest of intentions, but that is exactly where it stayed, untouched for 15 years.
Finally, in 2012, prompted by a motorbike nut of a friend, I was reminded of my prized possession. It was then that I was introduced to Paul Sands of PJS Motorcycles.
With Pauls' considerable knowledge of ALL motorbikes, but especially classics such as the Bantam, the project began in earnest. It took around 6 months to put the bike together, and with the engine rebuilt by Paul, along with his very useful contacts in the business who could paint, chrome, and supply the required parts, we had a running bike by the late summer of 2013.
▲ Ian Hargrave and his cherished BSA D1 Bantam. These are always in demand, and prices have stabilised after a lot of volatility.
The Bike
It's a D1 Plunger, first registered on 2nd September 1960. The registration number was kept by the original owner, but an age-related plate was gained from DVLA in 2012.
Only one modification has been made to the original bike in the form of electronic ignition, as this had been a source of constant frustration.
The wheel hubs are original, but I did replace the rims as the pitting on the chrome was too heavy for a quality restoration.
The colour is Devon Red, and is the original as can be seen, albeit very faded, in the 1987 photo.
▲ Easy to maintain, cheap on spares, excellent fuel economy, pleasing to the eye, and a gentle two-stroke burble on the ear. Motorised transport doesn't get much simpler.
Although the original log books have long gone, I can at least verify the mileage since 1987, which was 16,000 miles, and is now around 22,000 miles.
As for expenses, this has cost around £1200 in parts, paint spraying and re-chroming. Not bad for a bike which would re-sell for a considerable amount more.
The bike is not used on a daily basis, but in summer is out several times a week. As I live close to the highest point in the south of England, and in an area of outstanding natural beauty, much of the riding is done in the country lanes which is an absolute joy. The bike can buzz along at a fairly steady 40-50mph under most conditions. It will get up all the hills that I've encountered, but with the low power fed through a 3-speed gearbox doesn't have too much grunt or acceleration. Braking is 'OK' at speed, but in town traffic works well. The ride on the plunger suspension is a little bouncy but still holds the road well.

A dramatic sunset at the intersection of Lungarno Corsini, Ponte Santa Trinita and Via de'Tornabuoni.
Naming these posts 'A Photo A Day-ish,' was a great spot of foresight, seeing as it has been more like 'A Photo A Week-ish.' The lack of daily photos are partly due to my slow wi-fi connection, but also are a great example of how life sometimes runs away with you. Florence is such a bustling city, that it is easy to find yourself doing something interesting at all times of the day. This photo nicely sums up daily life here. It is a mixture of old statues, and new scooters; tourists and traffic; and beautiful sunsets over an equally beautiful city.

The Scottish Fire & Research is encouraging more men and women to sign up as retained firefighters
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) is encouraging more men and women to sign up and enjoy 'a life less ordinary' by becoming retained firefighters in the Ellon, Inverurie, and Turriff areas.
The RDS (Retained Duty System) consists of part time firefighters who provide a vital service to the communities in which they live and work.
One minute you could be sitting at your desk at work and the next you could be up a ladder saving someone from a burning building and it's this variety, excitement and sense of public responsibility that the SFRS hopes will encourage more people to join the team.
SFRS believes there may be men or women who are at home during the day whilst their children are at school and they could potentially provide fire cover during daytime hours.
To become a retained firefighter you should be eligible to work in the UK and be 18 years or over, preferably live within one mile and work within two miles, or work within eight minutes of your nearest station.
You will be available to respond to emergency calls via pager from your home or place of work at any time of the day or night, if you are on call that week. You will also have the permission from your employer to become an RDS firefighter. You'll also be expected to attend a two and a half hour training session (drill night) one night a week.
You should be available to attend training courses designed to provide you with the basic training needed to start your role as an RDS firefighter. Your ongoing training and development will be provided at your local fire station. Successful candidates will be subject to a Disclosure Scotland criminal record check.
There is also a financial benefit when you join the retained service with an annual retainer starting at £2158, which is split into monthly payments, together with additional payments for every incident and training night you attend.
Station Manager Chay Ewing said:
"We are extremely thankful to our retained crews who already do sterling work across the north and to their employers for their understanding and co-operation.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is also keen to stress that the benefits of the RDS extends to employers.
Station Manager Ewing added:
"There is no financial cost to employers and your employee will receive training from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service worth a significant amount of money in directly transferrable skills.
He added:
"Although there is a commitment by employers it should be manageable.
One of the most rewarding elements of the RDS role is combining an exciting and rewarding community contribution with the everyday challenges of a day job.
Station Manager Ewing continued:
"As an RDS firefighter you will not only be making a positive contribution to the safety of your community, but also learning invaluable life and team working skills, which should increase understanding and be welcomed by your employer.

The originals:
Here I lined up the photos by using 773 as the base image, and then manipulating the other photos to line up (more or less). I then stacked them using the trial version of Helicon Focus.
In this case I did the work myself in Gimp by clipping out the blurry bits of each photograph and then blending any rough edges.
Trying to let Gimp do the hard work by using Depth Merge. I'm not sure what Depth Merge is for, but apparently not for focus stacking.
Same idea, different photo. Originals:

Patience, dear young professionals, patience. It is natural to want to do too much too soon, but by following these five valuable tips as outlined by Zach Sloman, booking and marketing manager for the John Paul Jones Arena/SMG at the University of Virginia, you will be on the road to success in no time.
Understand The Big Picture
If there is one thing above all else that I truly believe is key to success, it is understanding the big picture. Understanding how you fit in the overall operation of your office or in most of our cases, how an event happens from booking to settlement will give you the knowledge necessary to take your work to the next level. Stay late after a show to see the load-out, understand the revenue streams each event creates, look into the finer details of the ticketing world (service charges, facility fees, rebates). The earlier you develop a greater understanding of the big picture, the better off you'll be.
Find A Mentor Outside Your Office
Your direct supervisor can certainly be a mentor and steer you down the right path. However, finding a mentor outside of your office allows for a new perspective and different experiences. Topics that may feel uncomfortable to talk to your supervisor about are easier to discuss with someone that is completely removed from a situation in the office and allows for a bias-free conversation. While finding a mentor outside the office is certainly harder, IAVM has a wonderful Mentor Connector Program (shameless plug) that I have had the pleasure of completing. While no longer in the program, I still talk with my mentor on a regular basis as if nothing has changed and cannot recommend it enough.
Read/Listen To What Others Are Doing
There is no better way to learn than from first-hand experiences. You will only be subjected to so many different situations in your career and thus the ability to learn from others about the ones you have not yet run into is invaluable. Besides spending a significant sum of money going to conferences, industry publications are the next best way to hear and learn from the experiences of others. There are many different outlets currently reporting on the entertainment and facility management industry. Whether through print publications such as FM Magazine or Pollstar, online publications such as Amplify, or podcasts such as Promoter 101, a plethora of options currently exist that you should be taking advantage of. You'll look like a hero when a situation you read about occurs and you're the only one with a solution.
Voice Your Opinion When Appropriate
Just because you may not be in a position of power does not mean you should stay quiet. I believe there is a time and place that one, no matter the position, should speak up if done in a respectful and intelligent manner. There is certainly going to be a time in your career when you do not agree with a decision being made or a task you are asked to complete, yet every decision should not be questioned or argued. Every situation is different and navigating these seas can be tricky. However, knowing when to speak up and present a meaningful opposition to something can lead to meaningful takeaways. On the flip side, be prepared for things to not go your way.
Enjoy The Freedom At The Bottom
While most likely taken for granted, the ability to not have to deal with the stress of an upcoming big decision or great responsibility makes it easier to leave work at work and have a social life. You're young and still able to hit the bars until close. Don't cash that ability in so fast in lure of money and power. Certainly, you can have a social life at the director level and above but it's easier to do when you're at the bottom with very little baggage to take out of the office.

Thanks to Kenlie for hosting :-D
Foodie Questions:
1. Do you make grocery lists?
I try to when I am at University, otherwise I just grab, which is never good. But since I am currently at home, even though I add to the shopping what I want to, so does everybody else. But I think my mom occasionally writes a list so she doesn't forget the necessities :D
2. Do you have a routine when shopping in your favourite grocery store?
We usually just start at one end (where you walk in) and then make our way up to the other end. Unless we are only running in for top ups or bits and bobs.
3. What is your favourite seasoning?
Probably Cajun or any Hot and Spicy seasoning, I like to season my meat.
4. What is the healthiest food in your fridge right now?
Errm probably all the fruit!
5. What is the most unhealthy food in your fridge now?
Probably a left over Cadbury Pudding of my brothers that has been in there for weeks.
6. What is the most exotic produce you've ever had?
I think it's called a Sharon Fruit. I remember when I was ten and in school it was testing out new fruit and veg week, and that's one of them they made us try. I wasn't a fan back then, maybe I'll give it another try soon :D
7. Tell us about your favourite local restaurant.
Lately, it would probably just have to be Nandos. My "favourites" switch around all the time, and my recent favourite restaurant is Nandos as I have been going there the most with family and friends.
8.What kind of pasta do you prefer (regular, whole wheat, etc.?)
I do prefer eating whole wheat in general, it has just become a preference over the years and I can now taste a huge difference when I have regular. Just like with bread. But since I have been back I actually haven't been eating much pasta. I guess I filled up on it in the last two weeks of student life for the academic year. But I was thinking I could do with getting some, I just keep forgetting everytime we are in the Supermarket and remembering afterwards. But to be honest I have been eating a lot of bread and potatoes with my main meals, so maybe it's time to shake things up a bit.
9. If you could make one food calorie-free for an entire week, which food would you choose?
For me I would rather have things be lower in carbs as I eat a lot, but if I had to choose something to be calorie free it would definitely be alcohol and cheese.
10.If you had to choose would you rather give up french fries or chocolate?
I don't really eat french fries or any kind of chips for that matter, so it would be easier to give up that as I already don't eat it.
Happy FMM :-D
