Igor Stropsa, 30, works as a builder. He is pleased with his job; working eight hours a day and receiving a steady income. But he had to leave his country to find this job. He has worked in Rome, Italy since 2008.
Thousands of Moldovans are forced to leave the country to find work, due to lack of jobs and low earnings. After graduation, many students choose to leave the Republic of Moldova behind and go to work for well paying companies in other countries.
Being described by the international community as the 'poorest country of Europe', the Republic of Moldova has the lowest salaries on the continent, which can barely cover the basic daily needs. The salaries vary from tens of dollars to a couple hundred of dollars a month. A nurse would normally earn up to $170 a month if she has previous experience, while a recent graduate in social studies earns $70 a month. The lack of experience of the new alumni negatively hurts their employment chances, because most employers want specialists with at least 2-3 years of previous experience. As a result, the Moldovan universities prepare jobless citizens on a broad scale which have low chance to find a job upon graduation.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union has had a strong impact on the Moldovan economy. Being eager to establish a democracy ruled by its own nation, the new government, which was installed after 1991 wasn't able to efficiently manage the state's budget, struggling with deep poverty among the people living in the countryside. Inefficient task and resource management led to the current economic deadlock. The Value Added Tax in Moldova is 20%. The high contribution to the state budget frustrates the Moldovans because they don't receive much in return.
Ion Cecan, 75, has been retired for several years now and is totally dissatisfied by the government. His monthly allowance does not exceed $70 after working for 40 years as a driver in the Soviet times and thereafter. At his age, he works as a security guard at a parking lot on a night shift. "I can barely pay my bills; I have to turn off the light to save money," says Cecan who lives in Moldova's capital, Chisinau.
"I have applied for the Romanian citizenship to be able to travel to Italy to take care of my grandchildren," explains Popa. This will be Popa's first trip outside of Moldova.
"My son and daughter live and work abroad. My daughter has been living in Verona, Italy for six years already. She comes home once a year," says Popa. She states that she has never visited her children because she doesn't hold a visa or a Romanian passport.
"My daughter's paycheck in Italy is about 900 Euro ($1,215)," adds the 60 years old woman, who complains that her retirement pension is equal only to 550 Moldovan Lei ($46). "I could barely afford a trip to this city to apply for the Romanian citizenship," says Tamara Popa.
There are 154,000 Moldovans who live and work legally in Italy, although the Moldovan Embassy in Rome estimates that there are another 50,000 Moldovan citizens living in Italy who are not registered with the local authorities.
"For a salary of 1,000 Lei a month ($84) I'm not going to return to Moldova," says Iurie Doljencov, 27, who works in Torino, Italy.
Massive numbers of Moldovans apply for Romanian citizenship, which enables them permission to travel and work without visas within the EU. According to the National Authority for Citizenship, directed by the Romanian Ministry of Justice, more than 51,500 requests were made by Moldovan citizens from the beginning of the year until now; over 47,000 were approved from the applications sent during 2010.
The National Employment Agency in Moldova states in a report that during the past years, there can be observed a regression in the number of inhabitants residing and working in Moldova, especially of those able to work. According to the report, the people who are affected by unemployment include the disabled, the youth and especially those living in the countryside.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the unemployment rate for the first two quarters has showed that 7.8% of the people were jobless, compared with 4.77% of their neighbors in Romania, according to the data provided by the Ministry of Labor, Family and Social Protection.
In order to escape the tough economy, many Moldovans are forced to leave their children behind and find a job in other countries. Russia, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey are among the most preferred working environments for the Moldovans.
According to the official data provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, more than 332,000 Moldovans reside legally in countries other than Moldova, while the real number, which includes those working illegally, may exceed a half million.

On the same topic, did you know Moldova is the fastest-shrinking country in the world? According to BBC, -106 people on a daily basis, during 2005 and 2010.

Unfortunately this is the social situation of our country as a result of inefficient politics and corruption.

It is true that the economic situation in Moldova needs help, but 1000 lei (84$) per month is total rubbish. 1100 is minimum salary by law.
- September 21, 2012 at 2:34 PM
curious ..if 1100 lei is min. salary by law and ..
what is the max. salary by law?

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell
and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear
and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic

The summer season is finally upon us, and with water temperatures reaching 17.5C inside the estuary recently, a wide range of species has become available including snapper, gummies, whiting and flathead.
Finally the soft plastics guys can get into the shallow flats fishing again with the influx of good sized flathead this month.
The warmer water temperature has brought in good numbers and good-sized sand and rock flathead. The entrance and boat harbour at Manns Beach has produced some excellent catches of flatties up to 50cm in length; mostly on soft plastics such as Berkley Pumpkinseed Minnows and Gulp Banana Prawns and Squidgy Silver Fox plastics.
The sand flats around McLoughlins have produced even better fish of up to 55cm in length: they fish are only going to get bigger over the next few months. Again plastics have been the lures to use. Pearly white colours have been working well at McLoughlins, but the flatties aren't usually all that fussy. Bait anglers are doing well, however there has been plenty of by-catch of salmon, tailor and snook.
The salmon have been turning up in both entrances and down the Shoal Channel towards Mann's beach around the snapper hole. They have been the biggest all year at the moment with plenty of fish up to 2.5kg being caught.
Soft plastics and metal lures are doing the best. A popular thing to do has been to anchor up and use berley, and then simply drop a soft plastic down on a decent size jig head and feed it into the berley trail. This method has been producing some monster salmon as well as good flatties.
The jetty has been fishing well. On a run in tide there has been plenty of flathead up to 40cm and good sized trevally up to 35cm being caught. Pilchards are working best for the flatties and the trevally are being caught on pipis.
Brian and Jake Walsh had a ripper day offshore Mcloughlins Beach. Jake managed to land a 20kg gummy shark on a salmon fillet. The Henry brothers did very well over the long weekend, landing a 12kg gummy shark as well as some nice snapper up to 50cm in length. There's been some nice snapper caught in very close to the entrance also, so you don't always need to head out to the reefs.
There's been plenty of good sized flathead caught offshore as well. I've heard of some real beauties up to 70cm in length caught. Pilchards seem to be the best bait to use, however the squid will soon start to fire as bait. Speaking of squid, there are some good-sized squid to be caught offshore, plenty of anglers have been putting out a squid jig whilst there bottom bashing and landing 3 or 4 squid in a session.

Beyond Audio and Video: #WebRTC | @ThingsExpo #IoT Java #RTC #Telecom
WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing
By: Liz McMillan

WebRTC Beyond Audio and Video
WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download - all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data?
In her session at @ThingsExpo, Dr Silvia Pfeiffer, WebRTC Applications Team Lead at National ICT Australia, looked at different existing uses of peer-to-peer data sharing and how it can become useful in a live session to enable richer collaboration using WebRTC and HTML5.

Its saturday night that we decided to try something new (Japanese) and we chose Aoba. This place has a good rating in urbanspoon. The restaurant is really small, it can only fit 14 people inside and 4 people outside. There was no table for 5 people so we sat separately. There are many restaurants next to Aoba, so if you don't get a table you can easily go to next door.
You can really feel the Japanese atmosphere as soon as you step in, walls, tables and chairs are all wooden style.
What should you order? Definitely the Aoba box, you can choose the main from teriyaki chicken or fish and comes with vegetable croquette, seaweed salad, rice and miso soup for $13. This is some kind of a bargain for me, the croquette tastes really nice and crispy. The chicken is tender and served with delicious homemade teriyaki sauce.
|Aoba Box with teriyaki chicken - $13
The next thing i would recommend is the dinner set, it comes with rice, miso soup, 2 spring rolls, 2 gyoza, 3 agedashi tofu, sashimi and main to choose from all the main menu. You could pretty much taste everything from the menu. I like the homemade gyoza, it has tasty filling and flavour, soft unlike other gyoza that usually has tough burnt skin. You also get one scoop of ice cream!
|Aoba Dinner Set - $22
For the ice cream, i chose the brown sugar as recommended by the staff. It tastes really nice, and whats better its homemade and i don't think you find this flavour anywhere else in melbourne. However, the salmon in the sashimi platter was not really fresh, we could tell from the appearance.
One of my friends ordered the Katsu Curry Rice with pork cutlet for $13.50. The curry sauce is good but the pork itself its not too tender, my friend thought they got a wrong cut for it. We also ordered the Teriyaki Wasabi Chicken for $13.50, but it does not taste really different from teriyaki chicken. We thought they should put more wasabi to make it stronger.
Unfortunately i forgot to take pictures of the last two dishes.
Overall : 7/10 , I would come back to try their lunch menus, looks cheap and delicious! There were only 2 staffs when we're there, one's cooking and one's serving. So be patient because you might have to wait for at least 15 minutes for the food. Good thing is the staffs are really friendly and smile a lot even though it was really busy.

Love Shines
Hello all, and welcome to the second post of the day!
It's that time of the month - new challenge themes to play all over the place. If you're looking for my contribution for Our Creative Corner, you'll find it here.
But right now, it's time for a new challenge over at Country View Challenges. Our lovely host, Doreen, would like to see you all Sparkle and Shine this month.
My team-mates have produced some fabulous inspiration for you. Some of them have gone Christmassy - perfect for the sparkle theme - but mine were made well before leaving for New York... it never occurred to me to think of Christmas back in July!
I'm not generally that sparkly, but I had lots of fun with both my projects. First up is this jumbo tag full of the lustrous shimmer of gilding and even some hints of glitter.
I started with one of the inserts from the Tim Holtz stencil packaging as my tag background. (As the whole thing got heavier, I mounted it on some thick card to make the whole thing sturdier.) Since it has a slight sheen already it seemed like a good start for a shiny project.
I mixed a couple of drops of Walnut Stain Distress Re-inker with texture paste on my craft mat and applied the mixture through the Tim Holtz Gothic stencil (I think this was the very first thing I did with it when it arrived through the letter box on its release!).
Love the clean edges and great dimension.
Later it got a good dose of White Fire Treasure Gold…
… making it gleam from the dark background.
The main focal image is the Found Relatives' baby, cut out around the top, and perched on the clock frame.
She's mounted on some padded tape for that pop of dimension.
Since the Found Relatives cards are quite glossy, even the baby adds some sparkle and shine when she catches the light!
I think the clock frame is one of the Tando ones (or perhaps I cut it using the Tim Holtz die - can't remember any longer).
It's had several layers of embossing powder applied - some plain gold and some Frantage Aged Gold in there I think.
I heated the layers until little extra bubbles of texture started to appear, to add distressed texture.
There are some Gothic book pages layered into the mix…
... as well as a Prima journalling ticket providing extra detail just behind the baby.
The flowers are from various sources - there are some Prima ones, and some that I won in a blog candy ages ago.
I'm guessing I got them on offer, as I don't usually indulge in Prima flowers…
I have to admit I'm slightly in love with the texty print on a couple of these!
Some (I think the blog candy ones) had quite a glittery finish. Even after I did some altering with spritzes of ink and distressing of the edges, the glitter is still providing an extra touch of sparkle.
The Ornate Plate has had a fingerful of White Fire Treasure Gold applied to it to highlight all those lovely decorative ridges. And the words pretty much stamped themselves!
When I added all the splatter later I made sure I covered the internal panel so that the words wouldn't get obscured by the flying ink.
There are some more golden metal accents in the shape of one of the large Idea-ology keys (also White-Fired!)...
... and some of the Finnabair Roman Numerals, echoing the numbers on the clock.
It was pretty much an afterthought to add some of my dried leaves (yup, that would be White Fire Treasure Gold they've been gilded with) to the mix.
I think they give quite a good hit of dramatic diagonals to the composition.
And the splatter is done with Dylusions sprays, taking the spritzers out and flicking the other end at the tag.
Even the topping has a touch of shimmer to it… no idea any more where I picked up this satiny ribbon, but it was perfect for the job here.
So that's my gleaming, golden, glittery, gilded make for you, sparkling and shining in the sunlight.
Do hop over to Country View Challenges to see how my team-mates Sparkle and Shine, as well as to check out all the challenge details and rules.
As usual, there's a prize voucher provided by our generous sponsor Country View Crafts, so do come and Sparkle and Shine with us this month.
Thanks so much for dropping in. I should actually have some time today to do some visiting in Craftyblogland - I'm really looking forward to catching up with what you've all been creating. Happy October everyone!
Oh, and if all that gilding is a bit rich for you, you could check out my rusty offering for Our Creative Corner from earlier today!
It sometimes happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your wits about you and borrow some money.

WOW WOW WOW another truly awesome tag, I love the background wow so gorgeous and then all the added altered embellishments amazing. I always think of sparkle and glitter for Christmas as that's mostly what I use it on but wow you certainly have given me ideas of how to add that touch of sparkle to a stunning vintage piece. WOW. Hugs Kezzy xxx p.s. it's a Tando I reckon as the die is more grungy so the numbers are not perfect. p.p.s Hope your still have a fantastic time away in New York. How long is the contract for? Will you get to see Christmas in New York? I bet that would be an amazing atmosphere. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Late Saturday evening my husband and I were doing what we often do; sitting on our porch rocking, chatting, and listening to music. The kids have gone in after all their night time adventures and this is our alone time. We catch up, we dream, we aspire, we come back to reality, and on occasion we argue.
It's interesting to me how a quarrel takes place. I don't know if you've had this happen but we'll be talking, fine and dandy, and all of a sudden Beef Stroganoff gets brought up and I have boxing gloves on. What we really got on the topic of was dinners. We both were expressing things we were tired of eating and Jason began making helpful suggestions. Quickly I saw them not as helpful but critical and demanding. Suddenly I felt a need to defend my cooking, my family, my families cooking, (family always has to come up right?) why I do the things I do and how I HATE beef stroganoff and refuse to make it. You can see where this is going right? At first it wasn't all that heated. I used subtle sarcasm (a dangerous tool) to cover up my defensiveness. "If beef stroganoff was good it'd be in your mothers cookbook." (a valid point if you ask me, that woman knows how to cook.) While I felt like my cooking was under attack Jason felt I was being unwilling to do something simply out of love for him.
By the time our argument peaked I was brewing with anger. I tried to justify why it was okay for me to maintain my position. "I have never loved cooking why are you trying to make me love it? This is who I am! Can't you just be happy I make dinner?" Boy had I missed the mark.
The truth is I do have insecurities with being confident in "who I am", even in the kitchen. I have so many women in my life who LOVE to cook and I can't understand why I don't but I don't. The fact is though, my response to my husband last night was sinful. It was unloving, rebellious, prideful, and completely unnecessary. (Seriously, just cook the stroganoff, he never said you had to eat it!)
Meanwhile I've been reading a book called The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace. And let me tell you I went to bed last night infuriated with that Martha. I had just violated every Biblical standard she outlined for me in being an Excellent Wife. I did NOT want to pick that book up again. Can you sense the spiritual warfare going on here? When I woke up this morning, after letting the sun go down on my anger, I knew I needed a word but not from Martha. (Though I do agree with most of what she offers in her book.) I needed the LIVING Word. I knew that God, his Word, and the Holy Spirit, would be the only thing my rebellious spirit would yield itself to. You see when you expose yourself to God's Word, its active power will penetrate the most stubborn strongholds. I was convicted, I needed repentance, and I needed God's undeniable truth to cut through my prideful heart.
First I prayed. I acknowledged my ugly sin. I prayed for God to soften my heart and speak the necessary Truths. I picked up my study Bible and looked up the words pride (prideful) and rebel (rebellious, rebellion). Here's what I got and boy did it humble me.
Proverbs 16:20 Whoever heeds instruction prospers and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 15:31 He who listens to a life giving rebuke will be at home among the wise.
Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom and humility comes before honor.
1 Samuel 15:22-23 Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
*note from study Bible* Samuel does not suggest that sacrifice is unimportant but that its acceptable only when brought with an attitude of obedience and devotion to the Lord.
Romans 13:2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
*Under God our husband is our authority and as Martha Peace has pointed out in her book this is for our protection among other things. This is not always an easy principle to embrace, as you can clearly see by my behavior last night. But it is Biblical Truth.*
The beautiful result of seeking the Lord and his Word is he is faithful, gracious, and just. He will change your heart and align it with his. There was one key thing that needed to happen though for me to be rightly restored back to not only my husband but God and for my attitude of rebellion and pride to be totally demolished. I had to humble myself before Jason, take responsibility for all my sin, apologize and ask for forgiveness. Here is the real test. I could still feel bits of pride wanting to resurface. But I want to fight for what is right and godly. I approached Jason sheepishly and proceeded to apologize. And later I thanked God for such a gracious forgiving husband. He could have held a grudge but he didn't.
And in light of Father's Day this reminded me of how gracious, forgiving, and loving our heavenly Father is with us. I am thankful for God's example, given to us in his Word, and for the men in my life, Jason and my dad in particular, who are striving to become more like Jesus every day. May we all seek to be a reflection of Him. 🙂

1997 Penfolds RWT Barossa Shiraz
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Cellar 5 - 8 years (2005-2008)
- Closure: Cork
In the Penfolds tradition of trial and innovation a project in 1995 was embarked on titled 'RWT' - meaning 'Red Winemaking Trial' - to create a new Australian Shiraz integrating the rich, generous flavours of Barossa Valley Shiraz with the finesse of tightly-grained French oak. The result is a fine wine of great elegance and depth of flavour.RWT is second only to Grange in the Penfolds Shiraz hierarchy, although the two wines are stylistically different. RWT expresses shiraz more openly than Grange. This is partly a function of the grapes themselves and partly a result of maturation in French oak, rather than stronger, sweeter-flavoured American oak. RWT is opulent and voluptuous, and fleshy where Grange is muscular.Excellent rainfall in September and October and a warm March and April produced excellent Shiraz fruit in the Barossa Valley.This wine is being groomed as the new 'baby Grange'. Winemaker, Peter Gago is particularly pleased! The wine was matured for 12 months in 52% new French oak. The nose is impressive, with distinct aromas of earth, spice, violets and plum, with the violets component dominant over the earthy spice notes. The palate displays excellent length and persistence of flavour. Mouthfilling flavour of blackberry, truffle, cedar are supported by velvet smooth tannins. Perfect balance, followed by truffle and cedar aftertaste. Cellar 5-8 years. Extremely limited. 14% alcohol volume.

The Value of Writing for Multiple Audiences
Written by Julie Neidlinger and published
Once upon a time, everyone stood around the water cooler and talked about the same shows. After all, they'd all watched the same shows the night before.
But not anymore.
Now, there is a limitless number of ways you can consume thousands of television shows, movies, and videos. You can watch them when you want, where you want and how you want. Streaming, broadcast, cable, DVR.
Gone is the huge audience watching the same things at the same time. The audience is fragmented. We aren't all on the same page. The group standing around the water cooler can get pretty quiet and awkward now.
Audience fragmentation is generally heralded as a Bad Thing for traditional media. Is it bad for content marketing, too?
Audience Fragmentation and Content Marketing
Blogging used to be a bit like old television habits. There were a few blogs, and they were broad. There weren't too many niche blogs. Two things happened in 2003 that changed it all: WordPress and AdSense.
WordPress reduced the barrier to entry for bloggers, and AdSense made it possible to earn an income off of blogging. By 2005, there were 32 million Americans reading blogs, and by 2010, there were 152 million blogs.
There was money to be made in creating content, and this necessarily led to niche blogs.
You can make more money off of a niche blog, with its tightly focused audience, than you can off of a broad one. Niche blogs, like cable networks and streaming video, led to fragmentation in blog readers. Blog readers could focus on their specific interests. Most weren't reading general or "personality"-based blogs that didn't at least have an identifiable niche topic.
Audience Fragmentation Is Not Bad
Audience fragmentation has generally been thought of as bad, as a loss of control over the huge audience. Media analyst and blogger David Brennan disagrees. While Brennan acknowledges that there is no longer a few huge groups of people consuming the same media, he argues that fragmentation has allowed people who normally wouldn't watch television to start watching.
Using two specific examples of people who might not have watched much television before, he concludes that "this particular audience has a passion which fragmentation-era broadcast TV can now satisfy; which has quietly resulted in significantly increased hours of viewing from the most unlikely audiences."
The big generic audience was gone, replaced by smaller audiences that attracted new media consumers who previously hadn't been part of any audience at all.
Audience fragmentation actually helped grow media consumers. Why?
Big general audiences tend to exclude those on the fringes. Fragmented audiences allow for broader media and content tastes, attracting those on the edge and giving them a home.
It's a zero sum game: Instead of one way to reach one audience, there are now many ways to reach many audiences.
How To Write for Two Audiences at Once
Without a singular focus on your true audience, your content marketing will get out of control. It seems as though your choices are simple: you can either market to a fragment (or a niche) or to the whole world.
Most of us can't cover the whole world, but there are times when we should write for more than one audience. When would you do that?
1. Your audience is fragmented by skill.
Your niche blog might focus on content marketing, and while your audience is all firmly interested in content marketing, they are not the same. Some are new to the field, others are experts.
You could write a blog just for newbies. You could write a blog just for experts. These are valid options.
The thing is, newbies are hungry, enthusiastic, and a great cheerleader for your blog. And experts fill your comments section with seriously relevant conversation. It'd be nice not to alienate either group.
- Be purposeful of your content mix. Write posts that a newbie would find helpful, write complex posts that experts would appreciate.
- Use an email list. With email, you can target two audiences of your blog easily. Your email autoresponder courses should reflect different interests, and should help you build an email list for both audiences. Serve them the content that applies to them directly.
- Try special features that feed the needs of both. What do newbies want? Help and information. What do experts want? To be known for their expertise. Create opportunities for the two to interact. Newbies need what the experts have, and experts need the newbies.
- Stick to a schedule. An editorial calendar really shines when you're planning content around two different audiences. For example, you can write an expert article on Mondays and something geared for beginners on Thursdays.
Newbies graduate into experts. It's a shame to see them leave. Make a place for both.
2. Your audience is fragmented by preference.
People don't consume your content in the same place. They are all interested in your content, they want to consume it in a different place.
The best illustration of this is The Oatmeal, in talking about the hit HBO series Game of Thrones. In this comic, Matthew Inman attempted to show how frustrated fans of Game of Thrones would be trying to locate a place to watch the television show. It wasn't available on popular streaming services. It wasn't available for paid download where other popular TV shows were.
At the time, the only way you could get on-demand access to the show was to get HBO in your cable package. The audience for that show was everywhere, and they were willing to pay money to buy and download it. But, if you didn't have HBO or cable, you had no option. Frustrated fans resorted to illegal downloads even if they'd been willing to pay to download just that series.
They didn't want HBO, they wanted Game of Thrones.
Do you make your content readily available for everyone who wants it? Exclusive content is meant to entice and build an audience with curiosity and excitement, not to anger, frustrate, and send them looking for illegal ways to get your content. Your content should be:
- Available on all devices. A responsive blog design is a must. Your blog has to look and feel similar on every device. It has to be functional and look good.
- Available on their favored services. What social media networks are your audience using? Be there. Do they prefer email? Send them email. Are they big on RSS? Then don't send out partial feeds.
- Available offline. Consider creating downloads, ebooks, and so forth. Pick your best blog post(s) and create something your reader can take with them to read later. In our recent Ultimate Guide to CoSchedule, we created a basic PDF version so readers could download and read it whenever they wanted to.
3. Your audience is fragmented by monetary value.
On the Copy Hackers blog, Joanna Wiebe talks about writing copy on a landing page for two audiences. One of her examples used the website TutorSpree (now defunct) as an example. They had an audience made up of tutors and of students in need of tutors. How did they handle two audiences? According to Wiebe:
"Sometimes, you choose one audience and subordinate the other. That's the easiest approach, from a copywriter's perspective, and it's what TutorSpree has opted to do."
TutorSpree had a business of connecting tutors to students. They chose to focus on their student audience the most, and give tutors a lesser place. Without both students and tutors, there is no business. But tutors who are looking to earn money have a more compelling reason to pursue TutorSpree. So, the site made the decision that they had to convince students to sign up, and that tutors, wanting to earn a living, might not need as much enticement.
Without being too crass, if your blog is supposed to pay your bills, you give more attention to the audience that brings in the money.
If that's uncomfortable for you, Wiebe then goes on to give great advice for those of us who don't want to sacrifice the importance of one audience for the other. She suggests creating a Venn diagram to discover the areas where the content overlaps.
Make a list of the content each audience wants. Find the similarities. That's your focus. That overlap is the content you write. You write on the common ground.
4. Your audience is fragmented by gender (et. al.).
Aha! This is where it can get a bit tricky: in a way, we are all writing for two audiences.
If not men/women, perhaps it is introvert/extrovert, or data junkie/creative process.
We can unconsciously use graphics, writing tone, or examples that appeal to one group more than the other.
One of the easiest ways to write for a wide variety of preferences along this nature is to have writers of those preferences on your team. This is where team blogging really shines.
On the CoSchedule blog, Garrett and I approach writing and topics in a different way. If you were to give us the same headline and ask us to come back with a post, I'm willing to bet Garrett's would have a lot of charts and data, and mine would be more process and story-oriented. Neither is better; they just appeal to different segments of our audience of CoSchedule users. That's how we write to two different audiences: we have two different writers.
Fragmentation is not to be feared. It's an opportunity (wrapped in a bit of research and work) to write to distinct groups on the same blog. And it's an opportunity to grow your audience instead of alienate it.
If you're still aching to learn more on content writing, I recommend you read Raven's key to great SEO content writing to learn how to write valuable content with multiple audiences in mind.

LED Lamps and fixtures have become a top choice for airports
subway stations and bus terminals. In fact, because of patented sturdy construction, LED Lighting is used in terminals and concourses throughout the world.
Airport parking garages see a particular benefit with the wide array of canopy Garage lights. Staff engineers and lighting specialists work with blue prints and .dwg drawings to ensure projects meet or exceeds codes and provide foot candles and lumens to your specifications.
An added benefit to airports and transportation terminals is the reduction in energy costs. By using only one half to one quarter of wattage output, airports see tremendous savings in energy expense. Airport terminals that take the plunge and retrofit their entire their entire infrastructure can experience a complete return on investment in materials costs within two to three years. Then, for the remaining life of the LEDs, these organizations enjoy unfettered energy savings, money that can be used for other projects or more personnel.
Another important consideration is the reduction in heat that these products provide.
Since the diodes generate much less heat, summer cooling costs are noticeably reduced. And since these LEDs are warrantied for 5-to-10 years (and will likely last 20+ years) airports and transportation terminals significantly reduce hazardous waste from mercury-filled lamps that contribute to drastic environmental changes.
Because the quality of light lamps and tubes provide, weary travelers experience a sense of rejuvenation as they traverse your airport, subway and bus terminals.
By far the most popular item used by airport operators are T8 tube lights. These tubes come with internal or external drivers according to your preference. They fit handily into existing troffers for easy installation.
For a more contemporary look, modern terminals are installing LED panel 2×2, 2×4 and 1×4 panel lights. Besides being easy to install and saving energy, these panels transform an interior space with clean, even light.airports become choice fixtures lighting terminals

You can add multiple websites and multiple keywords for each website in your SheerSEO account.
Main Referrers:
Note: Pagerank of target url can't be justified 100% by the dofollow backlinks pointing to it as there are always some Google's reducing factors in action which leads your target url holding less PR than the real PR that should be justified by the dofollow backlinks pointing to it.
Social Profile of your website:
Social module of SheerSEO keeps track of the the social share counts of your website. It tracks facebook shares, likes, twitter tweets and social bookmarking status of your website. It gives you not only current social statistics but also past social statistics for your website.

Now content benchmark will analyze that webpage and will compare it with the top results in Google for that keyword and thus it will suggest you how you can improve your content to beat those top result pages in google search engine.
The idea behind this feature is that your webpage should cover all the important points that the top results in Google have for that particular keyword.

Del Potro extends dream return, faces Wawrinka for US Open semi-final spot
Juan Martin del Potro became the lowest ranked player in 25 years to reach the US Open quarter-finals Monday, setting up a showdown with fellow Grand Slam title winner, Stan Wawrinka.
The 142nd-ranked del Potro was leading eighth-seeded Dominic Thiem 6-3, 3-2 when the Austrian retired with a right knee injury.
Del Potro, the 2009 US Open champion who was pushed to the brink of retirement earlier this year after undergoing three surgeries on his left wrist, will next face third seed Wawrinka for a semi-final place.

Wawrinka, a former Australian and French Open champion, reached a fourth successive quarter-final in New York with a hard-fought 6-4, 6-1, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3 win over Illya Marchenko, the world number 63 from Ukraine.
"You never want to win a match like this. I wish Dominic a quick recovery as he has a great future," said 27-year-old del Potro, the lowest-ranked man in the last-eight since Jimmy Connors, at 174, went all the way to semi-finals in 1991.
The giant Argentine had required treatment himself on a right shoulder injury after dropping serve to go 2-1 down in the first set.
But he recovered to break back for 3-3 before edging ahead at 5-3 and taking the opener on an ace.
Del Potro was a break to the good again at 2-1 in the second set before Thiem began to flag.
The 23-year-old Austrian had needed five sets to beat Australia's John Millman in the first round and four to get past Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain in the last 32.
"I couldn't bend my knee too much in the last three days so I was handicapped a little bit," said Thiem.
He was also playing in a season-leading 70th match of the season and 21st tournament, a gruelling schedule which finally caught up with him on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Should del Potro make the semi-finals he would be the lowest-ranked man to do so at a Grand Slam since 237th-ranked Vladimir Voltchkov at Wimbledon in 2000.
No man ranked as low as del Potro has ever made the final of a major.
Having saved a match point in an epic triumph over Dan Evans in the last round, Wawrinka, a semi-finalist in 2013 and 2015, cruised through the first two sets against Marchenko.
The Ukrainian, who arrived in New York on a seven-match losing streak, battled back from 2-4 and 3-5 down in the third set to force a tiebreaker.
He was a break to the good at 2-1 in the fourth before Wawrinka, reinvigorated by a violent racquet smash courtside, recovered to win five of the next six games.
"It was tough to lose that third set but I am looking at the big picture," said 31-year-old Wawrinka, whose 49 winners helped offset his 41 unforced errors.
"It'll be great to play Juan Martin again. It will be a great challenge."
- Nishikori halts Karlovic -
Japanese sixth seed Kei Nishikori spiked the big guns of 37-year-old Ivo Karlovic to book his last-eight spot.
The 2014 runner-up swept to a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) win and will face either second seed and 2012 champion Andy Murray or Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria for a place in the semi-finals.
Karlovic fired 21 aces in the contest but Nishikori's 44 winners and a miserly seven unforced errors proved the key.
Murray closes the night session on Monday protecting a 6-3 head-to-head lead over Dimitrov although the 25-year-old Bulgarian won their last match in Miami in March.
The first two quarter-finals take place on Tuesday when defending champion Novak Djokovic faces France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Lucas Pouille, the conqueror of Rafael Nadal, tackles French compatriot Gael Monfils.

Renewable Cronyism
DECEMBER 29, 2015 | | www.powerlineblog.com
I take a more benign view than most conservatives of some of the dreadful budget compromises of the recent omnibus, because spending packages are always going to contain a lot of give and take. Better to look at the long game, to judge if any small victories or compromises may make possible better outcomes down the road. Such small details are as unsatisfying as cold peas, and often don't pan out, or get lost in the shuffle. But I think expecting Paul Ryan to turn around Congress in three months was more than a but unrealistic.
Much worse in my mind is the concessions to continued crony capitalism, such as the renewal of the Export-Import Bank, which was seemingly killed a few months ago but was revived in the omnibus by corporatist members of both parties. These and other kinds of subsidies and mandates are more politically corrupting than wasted money.
Even worse is the renewable fuels mandate that distorts Iowa politics. The Washington Post's Daily 202 e-mail report today shows corporatist Republicans at their very worst—mounting an effort to attack Ted Cruz because he won't bow to the Iowa corn gods:
Recognizing [Cruz] poses an existential threat to the special benefits it receives from the government, the corn lobby is going all in to stop Cruz in Iowa.
Eric Branstad, the son of the popular Republican governor, is leading an industry-funded initiative called America's Renewable Future. The group says it has hired 17 field staffers—more than some of the presidential campaigns have themselves—and already collected pledges from more than 50,000 people to make the issue a priority when they caucus. There are also radio ads, direct mail and robocalls.
GOP operative Nick Ryan is working for both the Branstad group and is currently on TV with a separate $200,000 advertising campaign, from the so-called "Iowa Progress Project," which attacks Cruz on the same issue. Thecommercial, running in the Sioux City market, slams Steve King, one of the most conservative members in the House, for endorsing Cruz. King, who represents an agriculture-heavy district, has supported the RFS.
"Cruz is the most anti-ethanol, anti-renewable fuel, of all the candidates," the governor, Terry Branstad, told Bloomberg earlier this month. "They've got a whole army of people that are working on this … If they are able to stop the Cruz momentum, that will show the real clout of the renewables."

Tips for Watering Your Cannabis Plants Effectively
Plants need water, sunlight, nutrients and air to grow; providing a plant the proper amount of water is arguably the most difficult of these needs to fill. There is no exact science for how to water your cannabis garden, and because most growing mediums prevent you from observing the roots, you have no way to directly know what is happening below the soil. However, there are a number of products and strategies that can help you keep your garden healthy and properly hydrated.
Products for a Well-Hydrated Cannabis Garden
1. Perlite
Perlite comes from obsidian which is a volcanic glass. It is produced when obsidian is heated to a high temperature and then expands. It is light, porous, and organic, making it a great addition for your soil as it prevents soil from clumping and promotes good oxygen flow.
2. Smart Pots
"Smart Pots" are pots that are made with canvas. The fabric containers help the roots breathe, allow heat to escape, and allow water to drain. All of these traits are directly related to improving the quality of the roots and how they handle being watered.
3. Drip line
Drip lines allow you to water plants consistently and distribute the water evenly across the pot. They also prevent your pots from flooding on the surface when watering. Flooding your pot with water will cause the perlite to come to the surface where it is useless. Drip systems also help prevent evaporation when you're gardening in a hot climate.
4. Timer
It's crucial you measure how much water you are giving your plants. If you figure out the flow rate of your irrigation system, you can set a timer to know when it is time to move to the next pot, ensuring every pot is receiving the same amount of water.
How Often Should You Water Cannabis Plants?
The amount of water your plants need will always vary due to size, temperature, health, and stage of growth. An under-watered plant looks droopy and weak. There is no strength in the leaves and they feel lifeless. Overwatered plants look similar, but the leaf tips will curl as if they are hiding from the water in their pot. Obviously you don't want your plants to ever be seen in either condition, but as you figure out your cannabis watering schedule, it is preferred to underwater than to overwater your plants. The roots need oxygen to survive and be happy.
When you think your cannabis garden might be thirsty, take time to observe:
- Do the leaves look vibrant?
- Are they rigid and strong?
- How does the soil feel?
If the soil is dry when you stick your finger into the soil a few knuckles down and the plant seems weak, it is time to water. The weight of the pot can also be an indicator of hydration, if it's small enough to lift. Ideally, pay attention to timing and work towards watering your plant right before it starts to look less vibrant. A healthy cycle of wet to dry is necessary for the roots to grow and reach deeper into the pot.
Is Your Container the Right Size?
To hydrate cannabis plants properly, its container needs to be the right size; a plant cannot drink water where its roots do not reach. When the plant can't drink all of the water, the water will sit and evaporate slowly, promoting unwanted insects, fungus, and root rot.
Plants should start in 1×1 inch cubes then move onto 4×4 inch pots, 1 gallon, 3 gallons, 5 gallons, and so on as it outgrows its container. Plants are ready to transplant when a healthy root structure encompasses the soil. Transplanting is a good opportunity to see the quality of your roots: bright white roots, with a strong thick structure is a sign you have been watering your plants correctly.
How Much Should You Water Cannabis Plants?
You want to soak the pot and have run off. Water should reservoir at the top of the pot while you are watering, but it should not sit on the surface after you move to your next plant. Look for signs of a healthy plant and wait for the soil to begin to dry up before watering again. If you aren't confident in your ability to tell when it is time to water again, wait until you see the first stages of underwatering and water immediately.
Take notes, make calculations, and get your plants on a watering schedule. Setting a cycle where the plant needs to be watered every two to three days is ideal. As the plants grow, so will their need for water. When you increase the amount of water you give your plants, oftentimes they might need a top-off in between their full waterings; simply give it a splash to hold it over and then increase the amount of water allocated during its normal watering to keep it on schedule.
Over-thinkers tend to overwater their plants. Cannabis plants are like any other plant: they can handle some overwatering and some underwatering, so take your time in figuring out its ideal watering schedule. The sooner you find the sweet spot, the sooner you'll watch your garden flourish.

My cancer timeline
Back in January or February I noticed that I had some shortness of breath and wheezing when I exercised, but since I had my yearly asthmatic bronchitis back in October and then a nasty cold in January, I didn't think much of it other than my cold was coming back. My symptoms started getting a little worse, but I didn't sit up and take notice until about seven weeks ago when I was at the rock climbing gym trying to scale a relatively easy wall that I had climbed before. I had to stop about two feet up because I couldn't breathe and my heart was pounding pretty rapidly. I managed to make it to the top anyway, but it was a slow and difficult climb. Later that night, I had dinner with my parents and mentioned it to my mom and she suggested I see a doctor. I made an appointment for the next morning and my doctor referred me to Dr. Collins, a cardiologist, because she was concerned about some noise from my heart murmur.
It took me a couple of weeks to make the appointment with Dr. Collins and she took an EKG and said my heart looked fine, however she ordered me to come back for a stress test and an echocardiogram just in case. Another two weeks went by before I could schedule those appointments and last Wednesday, April 4th I went for the tests. A different cardiologist in the office that day reviewed my initial results and said everything looked great for my heart, but the echocardiogram was a little hard to read since my heart was pushed a little to the side, but he said that was normal for someone thin like me.
Little did I know that my life would change the very next day. Dr. Collins called me at work and said they found a "mass" pressing up against my heart and sent me to the nearest hospital for an emergency CT scan. She was very concerned that I go immediately. I raced to Mike's office and we went to Fairfax Hospital in Virginia where I work. The emergency CT scan revealed that I had a large "fist-sized" tumor pressing up against my heart and I was admitted to the hospital. On Friday, April 6th they took a biopsy of the mass and several hours later they confirmed that it is lymphoma and then they did a bone marrow biopsy to make sure it was not in my bone marrow.
The "good" news in all of this bad news is that it is a b-cell lymphoma, which is the best kind of lymphoma to get and it is highly treatable with chemotherapy. Because of where the lymphoma is, they can't operate so they have to shrink it through chemo, which I started on Friday. It's called a large diffuse b-cell lymphoma if you want to google it or also called PML lymphoma.
Today was another good round of chemo. I didn't sleep as well last night because the prednisone is such a high dose that it keeps me a little hopped up (and gives me a very good appetite). I asked for some Ambian to help me (and Mike) sleep tonight since my tossing and turning kept both of us awake last night. I go back to NIH tomorrow to replace my chemo bag and then my last day on this cycle is on Tuesday. Tuesday is the day they remove my IJ line and stop chemo until the next cycle in 17 days. I am excited not to be wearing a relatively heavy chemo bag around my waste for a few days, but I'm not looking forward to the potential drop in my white blood cells in about 7-10 days from my last day of chemo. This is the time when I have the potential to be neutropenic, which means I'll be more susceptible to illnesses so I have to be very careful and wash my hands a lot and possibly wear a mask or ask others to do the same.
Here's hoping I have another good day tomorrow (and that I can sleep tonight!)

Thank you Angela! This is the stuff that "we" you're adoring audience wanted to know. From the posts that I've read it sounds like you have become very educated on your condition. Can't wait to get a chance to see you but you know I'll wait until the coast is clear with you and Mike!

I've been surfing online more than 3 hours today, but I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It's lovely price

made good content material as you did, the web can be
a lot more helpful than ever before.

Leave your mark on the firehouse.
The firehouse belongs to each of you, so we've created a way to personalize your very own brick on the Yellow Brick Road. Engrave a brick with your name, a friend/family member's name, fellow artist, or even a quote. We hope you'll be a part of the firehouse in this special way that will last forever.
One building at the Firehouse will house a restaurant, art gallery, classrooms and much more – the other building will house a theater and bar – and in between there is an awesome courtyard. Playing off one of my all time favorite shows, we've created a literal Yellow Brick Road to guide you from one building to the next.
The dollars raised from the engraved bricks will help put us over the top on our historical preservation process fundraising efforts. Help us reach our goal by December 29th so we can announce at the New Year's Eve Bash, the first event in the Firehouse!
Check it out – super easy to do – and totally accessible. $25 / $50 / $100 – the larger the brick the more characters you get. Buy a brick today – or buy two bricks – we won't stop you.
Thank you for helping us build the final pieces of the Firehouse!
Order your brick now at http://desmoinessocialclub.org/get-involved/customize-a-brick-at-the-firehouse.
