How we change what others think, feel, believe and do |
Natural Comforters Techniques > Managing Stress > Natural Comforters Description | Discussion | See also DescriptionInvoke basic human systems of comforting yourself. Here are some of the things you can do:
You may already do some of these naturally, which is just fine. Continue doing what works for you and try new things if you think this will help. What you actually do will depend on two things. One is is the level of stress you are feeling and the consequent need for comfort. The other is the social situation and how embarrassed you would feel by using the comforting technique. DiscussionThere are a number of common actions that humans take to comfort themselves. These can be seen in children and when people are highly stressed. There is no reason why these methods should not be used to help reduce stress. Repetition is a particularly interesting form of comforting and has has an effect even for lower levels of stress, perhaps due to the triggering of responses to familiarity. At a more dysfunctional level, People with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often indulge in repetitive comforting actions, such as counting or cleaning. When you are comforting others, permit and even encourage them to use natural comforters. When they cry, for example, say 'That's ok' rather than 'Don't cry'. If appropriate, give them a hug (another natural comforter).

Well, the picture of the Lorax in yesterday's post was taken, not at any kind of movie tie-in event, but at the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden.
It's a very cool place where the kids did bunny-ears behind the Lorax, looked over Dr. Seuss's shoulder, acted shocked with Sally, caused chaos with Thing One and Thing Two and discovered that the couch wasn't as comfortable as it looked.
My favourite sculpture is Yertle the Turtle - the king of all he can see -on his nine turtle stack with a very disgruntled turtle named Mack at the bottom.
It was all part of our day-trip to the Springfield Museums.
Apart from the garden, we spent the most time in the science museum where there was much to be wowed by. Africa:
A nice live-animal demonstration:
A turtle with a head that looks like dead-leaves as bait for its prey - nibble me and I'll...
We also visited the fine art museum, and - very briefly at the end - discovered the excellent Hasbro game room at the history museum.
I guess we'll just have to go back!

YAG Focal Spot Analyzer
Ordering Info
Download Data Sheet. | |
Measure the focal spot of a relatively high power laser, in particular a YAG laser. The average power can be from <1 to 400 Watts and the focal spot can be as small as 25µm. The FSA can also be used to measure how the focal spot shifts with power. | |
The lasers focal length from the lens to the focal spot is usually on the order of 70 to 120mm. The YAG FSA assembly adds a negative lens to the LBS-300 beam splitter assembly to increase the focal path and at the same time enlarge the image. Several focal length lenses are available to accommodate different host system focal paths. The FSA includes; user selectable negative lens, 2 beam splitters, a removable beam block on the 2nd splitter, and user selectable attenuation filters prior to the beam entering the camera. An excel spreadsheet is downloadable from our website that calculates which lenses are available to use for your application, how far to mount the FSA from your focusing lens in order to see the focal spot and what the magnification of the image will be. | |
Operation: | |
The FSA is mounted to the camera as shown. Then the assembly is placed below the final focusing lens of the laser at the recommended distance. The focal spot is found by moving the assembly closer and farther from the beam until the smallest spot size is seen. The exact magnification factor (usually 2-3 times) is calculated by moving the stage holding the FSA assembly a given lateral distance and seeing how far the centroid of the focal spot moves in the beam profiling software. This scaling factor is then entered into the software. In order to find focal spot shift with laser power, simply find focal spot at one power, change the power and measure how far the stage has to be moved up or down to get to the smallest beam size again. | |

Udaybhansinhji Natwarsinhji Jethwa
Patvi Namdar Maharajkumar Shri Udaybhansinhji Natwarsinhji Jethwa Sahib (6 October 1901 in Shrinagar, Gujarat – 1977 in Bombay), was the last Maharajkumar or Yuvraj of Jethwa dynasty of Princely State of Porbandar. He was associated with cooperative movement in post-independent India and was recipient of Padma Shri.
He was born at Shrinagar, a town within the erstwhile Porbandar State of Gujarat on 6 October 1901 to Rana Shri Shivsinhji Motiji Sahib Jethwa, a distant cousin of Maharaja Rana Sahib Natwarsinhji Bhavsinhji Jethwa, the ruling scion of Princely State of Porbanadar.[1][2]
After having done his primary education in Shrinagar & Porbandar he studied at Girassia College at Gondal. Afterwards, he earned B.A. degree from Bombay University and lastly studied Government Agriculture College at Poona and in 1932 passed out with Bachelor of Agriculture (B.Ag.) Degree.[1]
Adoption and marriage[edit]
As, Rana Sahib Natwarsinhji Bhavsinhji had no male issue, he adopted Udaysinhji, as a son and heir-apparent to the throne of Porbandar on 12 June 1941. In the same year, on 3 July 1941; Udaysinhji was married to Maharajkumari Shri Prem Kunverba Sahiba, daughter of H.H. Thakore Sahib Shri Digvijaysinhji Daulatsinhji Sahib of Limbdi.[1] The couple did not have any issues from marriage.
He started his career as Preventive Officer at Bombay Port Trust and Customs Department. Later on he was Chairman of Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) from years 1968-1973.[1]
The National Council of Cooperative Training (NCCT) started Udaybhansinhji Regional Institute of Co-operative Management (URICM), named after Udaybhansinhji Natwarsinhji Jethwa in 1956 at Bhavnagar, now shifted to Gandhinagar, Gujarat.[3][4]
Padma Shri[edit]
He was awarded Padma Shri award by Government of India in year 1971, in field of Trade & Industry from the State of Gujarat as a recognition to his contribution in this field, especially related to agriculture trade and industry.[5]
He died in 1977, in Bombay, without issue. When he died, the Rana Sahib Natwarsinhji Bhavsinhji, the last Maharaja of Porbandar, was still alive; he died in 1979 but he did not decide upon the next heir to the throne before his death. This has left the headship of Jethwa Dynasty of Porbandar uncertain, even after more than three decades.[6]

Abstract | INTRODUCTIONT7-based linear amplification of DNA (TLAD) uses a linear amplification approach based on in vitro transcription (IVT) of template DNA by RNA polymerase from the T7 phage. TLAD was designed primarily for use with the ChIP-chip method (whereby DNA recovered from chromatin immunoprecipitation [ChIP] of cell lysate is used for subsequent analysis on DNA microarrays) and requires nanogram quantities of dsDNA to generate microgram amounts of amplified RNA. Briefly, the strategy is to add a 3' conserved end to the template dsDNA, using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) tailing, which permits the addition of a T7 promoter sequence in the subsequent second-strand synthesis step. IVT can then use this newly appended T7 promoter and linearly amplify the template dsDNA, producing antisense RNA (aRNA) product. After the IVT reaction is complete, the aRNA is cleaned up using the QIAGEN RNeasy Kit. This protocol for RNA sample purification is based on the manufacturer's protocol for cleaning up RNA reactions, with minor modifications. |

I know Microsoft recommends not changing the memory and processor configuration settings for SQL Server, but our network engineering supervisor doesn't like the idea that SQL Server could potentially take all of the memory, if needed, and leave the OS and other applications with nothing. For example, we have a 2000 OS, SQL 2000, and a Java Application front end running. Is there any detail regarding how SQL shares resources with the OS and other applications. He doesn't like it when I say, "Just trust Microsoft" I've read your article: http://www.sql-server-performance.com/sql_server_configuration_settings.asp Is there anything from MS supporting my issues? ---------- T Kelley MS, MCDBA, OCA, CIW
SQL Server will not take all the RAM from a server, leaving the OS and other apps no memory. It almost always plays nice. There are some exceptions, like when you use AWE memory, but that doesn't apply to you. SQL Server takes the memory it needs for optimal performance, assuming it exists, but if it does not exist, because other apps are using it, it won't take it away from them. Also, SQL Server and the OS work well together, so you never have to worry about SQL Server taking away RAM from the OS, if the OS needs it. But if it makes your boss feel better, you can limit how much RAM SQL Server uses, as you already know. The downside to this is that SQL Server may not get enough RAM for optimal performance, and performace will suffer. That is a choice your boss has to make. Of course, your boss can also invest in more RAM for the server, or move the Java app to another server. He has to decide where the trade-offs in performance and cost come into play. In the Books Online (SP3), there is an article called "Dynamically Managing Memory on Windows NT and Windows 2000" that you may find useful. ------------------ Brad M. McGehee Webmaster SQL-Server-Performance.Com
Hi Tkelley Don't worry about memory utilization in SQL 2000 and Wins2000. SQL is quite intelligent in memory utilization. it manages the memory itself not for itself but for OS resources. I'm also managed SQL 2000 Clusterd server with Windows 2000 Adv Server. Both is going well.

"Murphy was an optimist!"
I'm nuts! July 5, 2009 9:46 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Health, MentalI just flipped back in my journal to four years ago.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. –Albert Einstein
I'm certifiable.
- 1. Barry - July 6, 2009
Can we put this little chestnut to rest once and for all? I've heard this quote a hundred times, and I don't think it's ever been attributed to the same person twice if at all.
But more importantly – it's not true. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result isn't insanity, it's practice. Or, if you're a performer, it's rehearsal.
When one is attempting a difficult task that is unfamiliar, the first time or two you try you will likely fail – or at least, succeed in a very limited manner. Do we quit? Do you give up, lest we be labeled "insane" for doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result? No! We try again.
If I'm a baseball player and I want to become a better hitter, I practice. I figure out ways to improve my technique, and I take endless batting practice. I eventually find ways to apply that new technique, and hit more home runs.
If I'm a professional pianist, I look at an unfamiliar piece and start in. It may be very difficult and with multiple hours of practice I may be frustrated. But repeatedly applying myself practicing and practicing, it may pay off with a beautifully rendered concerto.
And the examples are endless. If you at first fail at something but don't keep trying because you think it's hopeless – that's the real fail. Keep up with the effort, continue striving. Eventually you'll succeed. Nothing insane about that.
- 2. Doug McCaughan - July 6, 2009
I've heard it attributed to so many different people too. I searched before posting that one and multiple sources try to debunk Ben Franklin et al and give attribution to Einstein. I didn't link to any of those because although quantity of posts seemed to give credit to Einstein, none of them seems authoritative.
I like your practice/rehearsal example. You do know I meant this post humorously right?
- 3. Barry - July 7, 2009
Sure, but a lot of times I hear people use it as an excuse, or a cop-out.
- 4. Doug McCaughan - July 7, 2009
And by the way, your comment did strike a chord! I don't think I'll be using that insanity quote anymore.

So, in the second week of 2007, which of your brave New Year's resolutions are you still pursuing?
Perhaps the idea of jogging every workday at lunch has been quietly revised to Mondays and Thursdays only, or the blanket ban on chocolate bars temporarily lifted.
Or maybe that resolve to fight off the financial flab and overhaul your personal finances has weakened.
The application to switch your current account lies half filled and your hunt for a better- paying savings account or cheaper mortgage has got no further than a cursory glance at the "best buy" tables on page 22.
If your determination to sort out your finances has been stifled by the mid-January torpor, let me rouse you from the sofa - it looks as if the odds of a healthy financial return are stacked in your favour.
Changing the provider of your mortgage and credit card will produce the usual benefits of a cheaper deal. But you might also find that taking your bank on over punitive current account penalty fees reaps dividends too.
Over the next three months, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) is analysing current account charges of up to £39 levied by banks and lenders, and will then announce whether these are fair - and if not, by how much they should be slashed.
The OFT's argument - rightly - rests on errant consumers being asked to pay a fine that reflects the true cost to the bank of their transgression.
It decided last year that credit card providers were unfairly levying penalty fees of around £25 for missed card repayments; £12 is now the limit.
If the OFT were to draw similar conclusions about current accounts, banks would lose another giant slice of income worth up to £4.7bn.
This is where you - and your renewed drive to shake up your finances - come in.
The spectre of the OFT investigation appears to have sparked a discernible change in attitude towards consumers at a handful of banks.
A number of readers report that their efforts to claim back high bank charges - as encouraged by, among others, the Which? consumer body - have met with astonishing, speedy success. One reader who threatened to take the bank to the small claims court, over a £25 charge from 2002, lodged her complaint only six weeks ago.
She received a cheque in the post last week for this amount plus interest (around £9) and a sum to cover the cost of the small claims court application (£30).
This result is not unusual.
Terrified of going to court - and facing the difficulty of proving to a judge that their charges are fair - many banks are instead prepared to "settle" the dispute quietly.
That it takes the threat of legal action to spur a bank into coughing up is no surprise, but it's a tactic that is yielding rewards for plenty of consumers.
Anybody objecting to the size of their current account charges, and who is prepared to invest the time and effort to take on their bank, should consider having a go: www.which.co.uk has plenty of useful information.
A sense of desperation is pervading banks over current account default charges.
Extra pressure was applied late last year by Walter Merricks, the Financial Ombudsman, who made noises about an investigation after noticing that banks were dealing with these complaints in an inconsistent way.
It's not often that banks find themselves vulnerable to consumers, so be bold and brash: it's time to get one back.

Speakers on the first day of the Simulcast Conference on Monday spent their time discussing just about everything but simulcasting.
The topics discussed on the first day – the design of facilities, the adoption of technology, and the use of social media – did not directly address any of the nuts and bolts of simulcasting, which provides the majority of revenues to racetracks and horsemen in the U.S. But organizers of the conference said that the topics were selected in part because previous conferences had often ignored the fact that the majority of wagers are still being made at bricks-and-mortar establishments.

YOGA & WEDDINGS, HAPPILY EVER AFTER... "It's not about the perfect dress, it is about the perfect frame of mind" After having worked in the even...
Read Whole Story
Yoga releases toxins on so many levels. As a science that dates back five-thousand years, it works on healing through all the layers - especially for those just starting the discipline. Each person will have a different experience of this.
I practise mostly at home because there is nobody to cheerlead me into a pose, I do a pose because I want to and because it feels great. And I hold it for exactly as long as feels amazing. There are many poses I don't do. Due to injuries, some poses just aren't suitable for me.
I was a complete cynic when I attended my first yoga class almost five years ago. From what little I knew about it, I thought, who needs yoga when I can go to the gym, ride my bicycle or play a sport. How wrong I was.
Last week I realised it's been nearly two years since I did any proper exercise. I had practised yoga for ages and indeed all through my pregnancy I kept it up with a special preggie approved brand, but since I had the boy, nothing!
While women can cruise through an hour and a half of yoga relatively unscathed, even very fit men can end up feeling defeated, left soaking in a puddle of sweat by the time corpse pose comes to their rescue. The following is an explanation into why this happens.

Im new to iPads and have set up lots of photo folders but now can't work out how to transfer photos to other devices - I need to run a slide show for a party ? Thanks for any suggestions
Hi Shell - welcome to the forum! You need to be much more specific regarding your original description: 1) Are the 'photo folders' on your computer and/or your iPad, or both? 2) What other devices are you talking about, e.g. iPad, computer, etc.? 3) Do you want to run a 'slide show' from your iPad? and 4) If you want to run a 'slide show' do you want it just shown on the iPad or on a TV/monitor/projector? Thus, specific suggestions can only be given when more information is provided - plenty of great folks here to help!
I have all my folders of photographs on my IPad and would like to copy them to my PC so I can copy the photos onto a memory stick or cd
Hi again Shell - I'm assuming that your photos on the iPad are stored in the native Photo App; if so, you need a good understanding of 'how' photos are organized w/i that program - check out Chapter 10 of the iPad User's Guide (iOs 5.1) HERE - Now, there are a variety of options both wired & wireless of transferring your images to 'other' locations, which is dependent in part of the computer/OS you are using - please check out this Apple Support Article for further information and select the setup that applies to your equipment; ALSO, check the links there to PhotoStream (using iCloud) and syncing through iTunes. Finally, there are third party programs that can be used; for myself, PhotoSync has worked well and allows 'wireless' transfer - information HERE; others may 'chime in' w/ yet other choices - many ways do exist. Good luck and please post back your results - may help others - :thumbs:

I want to talk about fast food
Lets talk of best
1) Fat Burger
2) Checkers
3) Burger King
4) In and Out
5) Carl Jr
6) McDonalds
7) Wendys
8) Jack in the Box
9) Johny Rockets
Fat Burger is far and away the best. Checkers is very under rated and their fries are great.
Burger King is rated about right. In and Out is actually over rated. It was very good but not in the same area code as Fat Burger. Carl Jr was better than expected. McDonalds is a great value
except Burger King does a better job. Wendy's is interesting, but they do better with their spicy chicken sandwich. Jack in the box was pretty bad. Johny Rockets was terrible and someone should head to Checkers and find out what is wrong.
If you want to talk about value Checkers would come off the chart. They do a much better job
than such over rated joints as In and Out and Johny Rockets. Wendy's has alot of other good options but needs to improve its fare.

My son, PhoenixFire, has worked at Wendy's for over a year...no employee eats the fries...EVER!
The Mandarin Chicken salad is terrific, the chicken nuggets are good.
PhoenixFire would live on the spicy chicken sandwich or the baconator, if allowed! LOL!
My flexitarian daughter WILL eat a Burger King cheseburger, when we go there.
G*D bless and MARANATHA!

Of all those I can only talk about McDonalds and Burger King. Should some of the others be present in Germany, it has escaped me.
I love McDonalds, mainly Big Macs and what is called Hamburger Royal (with cheese) here. (Maybe that's a Quarter Pounder at your end?) I hardly ever eat anything else there. To me, the Burger King Hamburgers taste like soap, but that must be just me. I very much like their snacks, though.
Fast food is incredibly expensive here, so money is no excuse if the lower classes are poisoning their children with it. To really get my fill I'll have to spend as much as I would have to spend in a reasonable conventional restaurant, not to speak of a home-cooked meal.
I almost always eat in the car, because I want to make headway when I am travelling, plus I find the restaurants annoying. As the Victorians used to say: "I love children, specifically when they cry because then somebody comes and takes them away." Sadly, that is not the case anymore.
However, I love it, and some junk food now and then can't be THAT bad. - 5:19:00 AM

Too much fat in your diet, Beak. Go vegetarian. - 7:05:00 AM

I have pretty much sworn off fast food. Maybe have some once every month or two for expedience sake. They all taste about the same to me.
- The_Editrix said...
"They all taste about the same to me."
You are a barbarian!!! - 5:10:00 PM
Only when I HAVE to, I eat(what I call the hamburgers) the frisbys at Macdonald, today I had to take my 3 year old and 6 year old Grandaughters for their dental appointments we ended up at MacDonalds, they mainly want to play in the indoor playground.
I order the kids meal, I want the toy!
Try to keep healthy with fruit....now that really hits the pocketbook!

Aye. I am. That's one of the joys of being of Scots descent with some German thrown in. :-) - 9:42:00 PM

All the more a reason to know about the finer things in life, like -- say -- the difference between MD and BK! What a shame! And that when everybody knows that the German culinary experience is second to none.

Carl's Jr. = Hardees (it's the same company, just different franchises)
Checkers = Rally's (same company as well) - 8:17:00 PM

Jack in the Box is pretty nasty, but they throw all of their quality into their "Jack's Spicy Chicken Sandwich" which is by far the best Fastfood Chicken sandwich around and the ONLY reason I'd go to Jack in the Box.

With the wide variety of styles available, choosing the best kitchen utensil holder can be difficult. There are holders that look like rustic pottery and others that look like pieces of steel machinery. The decor of the kitchen, the number and type of utensils that need to be stored and the size of the area where cooking takes place are all going to help determine what the best kitchen utensil holder is for a person's particular needs.
There are three main types of kitchen utensil holders. The first type looks like a small bucket and is designed to hold a variety of different spoons and spatulas where they are easily accessible. The second type is a specialized holder for just one type of utensil or only a single utensil, such as a standing spoon holder. The third type is a wall-mounted holder that uses magnets, hooks or clamps to hold the utensils in place. The one that is best for a given kitchen is really up to the demands of space and the utensils owned.
A bucket-shaped kitchen utensil holder has the advantage of being able to accommodate a wide variety of tools of various sizes. It also is mobile, meaning it can be moved in and out of an area as needed. They also are the most versatile in appearance. They can be made of a range of materials, from painted pottery to brushed stainless steel. They are easy to clean and readily available.
A single-item kitchen utensil holder can take many shapes. They provide the convenience of having a holder that is specially designed to hold and care for a single item, but they also take up much more space than other holders. Examples include vertical spoon holders and special stands for carving knives and forks.
A wall-mounted kitchen utensil holder can work well in kitchens that have limited counter space. These can be as simple as a strip of wood with hooks spaced along it or as complex as an extendible steel latticework designed to open and close as needed. In kitchens with a lot of heavy, metal utensils, there are magnetic strips that allow the tools to be placed against them and held in place, although not all metal kitchen tools are magnetic.
There also are a variety of unique kitchen utensil holders. Some act like carousels and can spin to reveal the tools on the rack. Others fold up so the utensils are not seen and then unfold when one is required. There are even fanciful, stylized designs so the utensils look as if they are part of some type of animal or outdoor scene.

Since my wife's perfume collection was literally taking up the bathroom, I built a lighted shelf in the bedroom to accommodate the many bottles she has. It also gives off a very nice glow at night.
Construct a lighted shelf that can either shine up to light whatever object is on it and/or shed light on the wall underneath it.
Take one piece of your 1 x 4 and cut some square pieces (3/4" by 3/4" because the wood is not a true 1-inch width) the length your shelf is going to be. My shelf is 10 feet long, so I need 2 pieces of 3/4" x 3/4" x 10 feet. Also, you'll need 2 smaller pieces for the ends. I put these in last to make a perfect fit.
It's a very nice lighted shelf, the picture doesn't give it credit for being in a dark room. At the end of this project I'll also show you how to get light from the bottom as well.

The Elves, Sagas and Volcanoes of Iceland
Swim in natural hot springs and hike through lava fields on an exploration voyage of a lifetime
- Explore the fascinating and diverse nature of Iceland
- Visit Reykjavik, Reykjafjörður, Siglufjörður, Seyðisfjörður and the Vestmannaeyjar
- See glaciers, volcanoes and waterfalls
- Spot native birds and maybe even whales
Mythical Iceland is the land of ice and fire, with glaciers and volcanoes side by side. The unspoiled nature offers stunning landscapes, geysers and impressive waterfalls. Experience a variety of islands, towns and settlements, spectacular views and interesting sites, always accompanied by our knowledgeable Expedition Team.
Discovering the wilderness, wildlife, history and settlements
During this 12-day expedition cruise around Iceland, you will enjoy hikes through lava fields, breathe the fresh Icelandic air, swim in natural hot springs, visit one of the many museums or simply explore on your own and chat with the friendly locals. Immerse yourself in the Icelandic experience with one of our many fantastic excursions.
The land of the saga
Iceland's heritage dates back to the ancient sagas, and its folk tales are ripe with mysticism, elves and trolls, inspired by the island's diverse nature. In the midst of this vast and inspiring nature you will find colourful fishing villages, seaside communities and vibrant urban spaces. Icelanders keep their heritage alive even today – if they want to build a new a road, house or dam, there's one influential group they have to confer with first: the elves.
The itinerary
Departures: 21 May and 1 June 2017
45 minutes after touching down at Keflavík International Airport, located among lava rocks, moss and mountains, you find yourself in Reykjavik, a charming and vibrant town with lots of restaurants, museums and shops on narrow streets.
West Iceland is often referred to as "The Sagaland". Experience Stykkishólmur's diversity, with lava and rock formations, glaciers, volcanic activity and hot and cold springs. Participate in one of our exciting activities, such as kayaking, hiking and horseback riding.
Flatey and Bjargtanger/Latrabjarg Promontory
On the charming island of Flatey, time appears to stand still. Take a stroll around the village and travel back in time among the 19th century buildings. Látrabjarg is a promontory and the westernmost point in Iceland, home to millions of birds, including puffins, northern gannets, guillemots and razorbills.
Ísafjörður is the largest town in the Westfjords and has a long history as a major centre of commerce and trade, centred around its thriving fishing industry. Experience the town's architecture or join our wide range of optional excursions.
Hornbjerg cliff and Reykjafjörður
The Hornbjarg cliff is one of the greatest seabird habitats in Iceland, and we will try to land here in our polarcirkel boats. Reykjafjörður can only be reached on foot or by boat, and we plan to take a closer look at this stunning area.
Siglufjörður and Grímsey
Siglufjörður offers both recreation and sightseeing. A few hours in the rugged landscape gives you the chance to savour the peace and enjoy tranquillity.
Grímsey is where the Arctic Circle meets Iceland, and we will use our Polarcirkel boats to reach this island.
Akureyri is a lively and energetic town. It is the most populated community outside the Reykjavík area and the centre of trade and culture for the north of Iceland. Akureyri is close to many of Iceland's most renowned natural beauty spots, and the town itself is a popular destination. Enjoy an optional hike or join an excursion to the impressive Goðafoss waterfall.
Húsavík is the oldest settlement in Iceland. The town's most famous landmark is Húsavíkurkirkja, a wooden church built in 1907. Over the years, Húsavík has become increasingly popular in Iceland as a whale watching centre and is home to the Húsavík Whale Museum. After leaving the town, we will sail past the Langanes peninsula in the evening.
Bakkargerdi and Seyðisfjörður
Bakkagerdi is the main settlement in Borgarfjörður. This area is known for its natural beauty and as "the land of the elves". There are many puffin colonies in the fjord, so it is a popular place for bird watching. Bakkagerdi is off the typical tourist track, and offers peace, quiet and impressive views. If you prefer to be more active, you can join us for an optional tour to the natural forest of Hallormstadur. Seyðisfjörður is distinguished by its Norwegian heritage. The colourful Norwegian-style wooden houses date from the early 20th century and make this village unique. Explore the town, join a hike or take an optional excursion out to Skálanes.
Large mountains, wide rivers and the ever-present Vatnajökull glacier dominate the area around the charming fishing village of Höfn. From the harbour, you can experience a scenic view of the famous glacier, the largest in Europe and a spectacular sight. On the east coast you will find pine forests, lush farmlands and a variety of colourful fishing villages and vibrant seaside communities.
Surtey and Heimaey (Westman Islands)
Surtsey is a volcanic island, formed by an eruption that started 425 feet below sea level and reached the surface in 1963. Heimaey is the largest of the Westman Islands, which are located off Iceland's south coast, and is dominated by magnificent cliffs. These form natural habitats for many different seabirds, including puffins and kittiwakes. The islands are also a great place for spotting whales.
Our voyage of discovery and adventure ends in Reykjavik. If you have the time, join our exciting post-programme Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon excursions.

As Halloween looms once more, it feels only fitting to warn of the potential perils of poor SEO in what will no doubt be a gratuitously pun-laden horror-themed post.
The oft-derided business of optimising websites for search engines isn't without its ghoulish characters and fiendish plots. Website owners therefore need to tread carefully when it comes to how they implement SEO and who they choose to do it (if not themselves); however, when done properly, ethically and without trying to cut corners, it is still the most effective way of marketing yourself online.
Moderation is often a key detail that is overlooked by the enthusiastic and the shady. Newcomers to the world of SEO often understand the basic principles, but don't manage to get to grips with the quantitative spread of these optimisation techniques. The most obvious example of this is keywords.
Don't Get Lured into a Tedious Keyword Massacre
Tenuous yes, but the danger of indiscriminately spraying keywords across a website's pages is a very real one. If enthusiasm gets the better of you and keywords end up spread like blood splattered corpses in a George A. Romero film, eventually they will come back to haunt you.
Content should be produced naturally; it shouldn't be driven by SEO. If you're setting out to write specifically for a search engine then you're doomed to failure. Google won't take too kindly to you attempting to spam their rankings with unintelligible language and neither will any visitors. Keywords should be a polite indication of what your page relates to, they shouldn't be used to scream about it.
Everybody has their own theories about how much and how often key phrases may be used, but ultimately you just need to avoid stuffing them in every available catacomb on your site. Get them in there nice and early (usually the first sentence) then forget about it, often they will appear naturally and derivatives will form that will help with contextualising your site to the search engines.
Steer Clear of Shadowy Hidden Content
So if keywords can't populate the visible copy, then why can't it lurk somewhere else? Well, just because your visitors can't see it, that doesn't mean a search engine can't. If you have hidden text on your page be prepared for an almighty slap on the wrist. Whilst you might think you're being clever, it's been done before and just like any sequel, chances of success are few and far between.
Keep Away from Spammy Ghost Sites
Although it has little or nothing to do with paranormal activity, if you are considering a secondary site that is really just a portal to another dimension domain, then think again. Yes building links is incredibly important, as is the harnessing of targeted traffic, but doing this all in-house on one server will do you no SEO favours whatsoever. Google's algorithm is highly sophisticated, the spiders are well trained in finding spammy feeder sites, so avoid it at all costs.
Don't Try Burying Your Problems
The search engines are like your average horror film character in so far as they are a relentless pursuer. Of course with search engines, what they are pursuing is anybody who has broken the rules and any sites that are more relevant than those currently in their SERPs; quite different to their on screen counterparts.
If you've been up to no good, you will – more often than not – get found out. So if you've been cloaking content (having a page that is visually different to what the HTML Meta suggests – usually as a mask for something illicit), buying links or obtaining them from questionable sources, then you may suffer as a consequence.
Avoid the Sharks
If you're unable to do SEO yourself, but are still interested in optimising your site, be sure to shop around for a suitable expert or agency. Whilst the good far outweigh the bad, you can't afford to let your website be hijacked by an unscrupulous type more interested in their own profit margins than your site's success. Not only will they take your money, they will leave your website buried in the search engine cemetery, so be aware of the dangers before committing.
Conversely, if you do find an SEO company who you trust implicitly, be sure to discuss and implement changes. It is a collaborative process and needs input from all parties to ensure the success of your mutual project – the website.
Keep Your Head
Don't end up, like so many others, with a site that is neither optimised for search engines or visitors; make sure that it is proportionally developed for both. SEO will help you rise up the rankings, it won't guarantee top spot, but it should ensure better visibility. There are dangers lurking in the shadows online, but that is just an unfortunate by-product of the Internet's ongoing success.
Steer clear of the rogues and the blood suckers. Don't get carried away with optimisation and, where possible, seek the help of those who are experts in the field. A SEO horror show is easily avoided, you just need to follow the rules.
Good post, though I think you mean "by-product" in the penultimate paragraph…

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Songwriter George Jackson wrote or co-wrote hits for Clarence Carter (the gold single "Too Weak to Fight"), Wilson Pickett ("A Man and a Half"), Bob Seger ("Old Time Rock and Roll," "Trying to Live My Life Without You") Z.Z. Hill ("Down Home Blues"), and the Osmonds (the million-selling "One Bad Apple" and "Double Lovin'"), among others. He also several recorded Southern soul-flavored singles, charting with "That's How Much You Mean to Me" and "Aretha, Sing One for Me."
Born in 1936 in Greenville, MS, Jackson started recording for Ike Turner's Prann label in 1963 after introducing himself to Turner when the entertainer played a concert in Greenville. The single "Nobody Wants to Cha Cha With Me" was recorded at Cosimo Matassa's New Orleans studio. After traveling to Memphis, Jackson was turned down by Stax Records, but while there he met Louis Williams and they started a vocal group called the Ovations. Recording for Goldwax Records, their single "It's So Wonderful to Be in Love" made it to number 22 on the R&B chart in 1965. While with Goldwax, Jackson wrote for label-mates James Carr and Spencer Wiggens. The Ovations broke up and Jackson got a solo deal with Decca Records under the pseudonym Bart Jackson, releasing "Wonderful Dream" in 1968.
At the suggestion of producer Billy Sherrill, Jackson journeyed to Muscle Shoals, AL, to work at producer Rick Hall's Fame Recording Studio, where he became a staff songwriter and wrote hits for Clarence Carter and Candi Staton. MGM Records act the Osmonds visited the hit factory and Jackson submitted a song he had originally written for the Jackson 5. "One Bad Apple" hit number one on the pop charts in early 1971, and stayed there for five weeks. Because of the success, Jackson was allowed to record some singles for MGM. During the mid-'80s, Jackson joined Malaco Records as a staff songwriter penning hits for Johnny Taylor, Bobby Bland, Latimore, Denise LaSalle, and Z.Z. Hill. Jackson's own album Heart to Heart Collect was released by Hep Me Records in 1991.

From How the Other Half Lives
by Eileen M. Johnson
Jamellah pulled the heavy Persian rug toward the hallway and off the wall-to-wall carpeting. Grabbing the vacuum cleaner and wrapping the thin cord around her slim brown hand, she turned the power on and began the task of cleaning the carpet. Humming an old Commodores tune, she pushed and pulled the vacuum until beads of perspiration formed above her nut-brown upper lip. Not only was today Friday, her usual cleaning day, but she was expecting company. Not just any company, but that of the sexy black male persuasion. Kenny was thirty-three years old, the owner of a small but profitable construction company, and very married.
The fact that Kenny was married did not disappoint Jamellah. All of her boyfriends were married. As she always told her best friend, Fernecia, the more happily married they were, the better. Married men were low maintenance and that was right up Jamellah's alley. Married men required no commitment, you didnt have to deal with them 24/7, and they were usually extra passionate and extra generous. That's the way she liked her men. She had actually started dating married men at a very young age after quickly growing weary of young, inexperienced boys who were in her face constantly. So at nineteen, she had gone out and met Clarence at an after-work happy hour. Clarence was atwenty-eight-year-old dreamboat who already had his own small investment banking firm, the fabled house on the hill, and his own Benz. He also had a very somber and sexually unresponsive wife. This was a disappointment for Clarence but a blessing for Jamellah. She and Clarence participated in a hot and heavy fling that lasted until she turned twenty-one. In those two years, he managed to give her a used but still fashionable Audi, a pair of stunning two-carat diamond solitaire earrings, and a nearly permanent headache from his complaining about how unhappy his home life was. So after getting him to secure the financing on a snazzy little town house and helping her to set up a small but lucrative stock portfolio, she gave him a well put together story. With well-rehearsed but very persuasive tears rolling down her cheeks, Jamellah told Clarence about how she could no longer sleep at night without him and how she wanted him to leave his wife. As much as Clarence wanted to be with the cute and sexually uninhibited Jamellah, he realized that the state they lived in was a community property state, and under no circumstances was he ready or willing to give his tight-lipped wife half in a divorce. After an Oscar-worthy performance, Jamellah told him that she might be willing to get over him in exchange for a few parting gifts. Relieved that Jamellah withdrew her staunch ultimatum and waved the white flag, he presented her with a nice diamond tennis bracelet, tuition for her last semester of college, a discreet and heavy deposit in her money-market account, and grateful thanks for the two years of her life that shed devoted to him. Amazingly, they parted as friends, and would occasionally meet for a drink and a quickie.
Three months later, feeling pleasantly boosted with her car, town house, stock portfolio, and degree, Jamellah was once again on the prowl. Love could definitely wait a few more years. Right now, she craved more security. After landing a job as an entry-level adjuster for a large insurance agency, she soon began to use her huge office building as a hunting ground.
She paired crisp linen business suits with soft, lacy peekaboo camisoles and tall heels for a look that was professional yet sexy. Each morning, she painstakingly applied her makeup and arranged her extension-enhanced tresses to look like she had just stepped out of a magazine. Her good looks immediately drew the attention of several of her colleagues. Pretty soon, both her looks and her strong work ethic drew the attention of one of the company's VPs. In the first six months that Jamellah worked for Southwestern Life and Casualty, not only did she do desk work but she also did her homework. She knew which of her suitors had the most pull within the company, who earned the most, who drove what, who was married to whom, and who could get her where she wanted to be.
After chatting with Hugh McDonough, vice president of operations, at the Christmas party, Jamellah soon made him her prey. From that point on, she always made it a point to look extra sexy at the Thursday afternoon staff meetings that he presided over. It also helped that she was always full of provocative conversation at all social functions.
Within three months of the Christmas party, Jamellah was taking all of the gifts that Hugh presented her with, and he, in turn, accepted all her free time and talent. From her prior research, she knew that his wife, Meredith McDonough, cared only about the Times-Picayune society page and the city's black bourgeoisie.
Although Hugh was a lusty and insatiable lover and much older than she generally liked them, he was definitely the route that Jamellah needed to take.
By the time Christmas rolled around again, Jamellah had been promoted to a competitive yet promising position as an underwriter. She received this promotion partly because of her hard work but more so because of Hugh's iron influence on the powers that be. With her cushy new job came a cushy new gift from Hugh. Jamellah gladly got rid of her old car for Hugh's gift, a brand-new, shiny black Audi A8 that she drove to her office with pleasure and pride.
No matter how discreet the two attempted to keep their involvement, it was unmistakable. One minute Jamellah was trudging around the city assessing claims and the next she was three floors up in the building, her mind far from flood, fire, and accident damage. Of course, this did not sit well with the other sisters in the office. They had spent years at Dillard, Xavier, Southern, Alcorn, and Grambling, studying and preparing for corporate America. Some graduated magna and even summa cum laude and were shocked to find out that no matter how much education you got, you often wound up in a surplus pool of black college graduates fighting for entry-level jobs not even near your field. The shock went even further when they realized that a simple blow job or two could catapult a 2.5 GPA graduate like Jamellah into a job it would take them years to move up to. This of course led to their extreme dislike of her.
At forty-five, Hugh was handsome, wealthy, and wise beyond his years. However, for a brief time, he felt something for the twenty-three-year-old Jamellah that could have been mistaken for love. She returned the favor of his expensive gifts and favors with practiced sexual skills and unlimited affection, which he never got at home. Of course it would bother Jamellah when she would see Hugh and Meredith at social gatherings and on the society page, but she understood her place in his life and his place in her career. Hugh, in turn, would often get angry when the water-cooler talk by the agencys black male employees was about Jamellah and her fabled sexual escapades. But since no one in the office building knew about his relationship with her, he had to keep his anger to a minimum in public, but when he was alone with her, he lashed out at her with contempt and disgust.
Contempt and disgust soon turned to jealousy and abuse, and that was when Jamellah decided that it was time to end their allegiance. Knowing that he would not agree with her decision, she came up with a surefire plan to keep her newfound prestige and at the same time end the troublesome relationship. With the urine of a hugely pregnant Fernecia and a Fact Plus pregnancy test, Jamellah managed to convince Hugh that she was carrying his baby. Afraid of the scandal the pregnancy would cause in the uppity black community and the jeopardy it would put his job and marriage in, Hugh quickly ended the relationship, but not without pacifying a threatening Jamellah. Not only did he give her three thousand dollars for a false late-term abortion, but Hugh also gave her five times that amount in hush-hush money. Jamellah could not believe her good fortune, while Hugh could not believe his stupidity. He made it a policy long before hed met Jamellah not to get involved with anyone who was connected with his job. Now he was sharing an office building with a walking time bomb who could easily destroy his life. But for some reason, he had actually fallen in love with the young girl who had given him relieving icy rubdowns when he was in physical pain and soothing hot-oil massages when he wanted to feel pleasure.
Sometimes when his heart and his dick overpowered his reasoning, he contacted her and attempted to renew their ties, but his requests were met with firm refusals and idle yet convincing threats. After one of these threats, which sounded more lethal than usual, Hugh decided to wean and save himself from Jamellah. At the same time, he decided to show her that his love for her had not been in vain.
Jamellah was just coming out of the adjustment period in her new position when a corporate headhunter, who happened to be Hugh's fraternity brother, contacted her about a better-paying and more secure position with an old and stable company in the northeastern part of the city. Overjoyed and aware that this was of Hugh's doing, Jamellah promptly turned in her immediate resignation to Southwestern Life and Casualty.
That was a year and a half ago, and now Jamellah's salary was 25 percent larger and her conscience 100 percent smaller. Since then, she had been through three other married men who shed become involved with for material reasons, and a single black attorney who shed been involved with purely for pleasure.
At twenty-four, Jamellah felt that she was on top of the world. She had a great job, an expensive automobile, and a professionally decorated town house that was on its way to being paid for. She was childless, free, and beautiful, which to her were the most important things in the world. Her family marveled at her success and her friends were mystified by how quickly shed climbed the corporate ladder and gained material wealth. They always knew that she'd get out of the New Orleans ghetto that shed grown up in, but they never guessed that she'd come this far. Unbeknownst to her friends, Jamellah was whoring just as they were, only at a much higher price.
