Azoospermia (regularly alluded to as "no sperm tally") is a male fruitfulness issue numerous men face. Azoospermia is characterized as the complete absence of sperm in the discharge. It happens in 5% of barren men. If so, then either of two conditions might be available It is the complete lack of sperm in the ejaculate. One imperative point concerning this conclusion is that albeit no sperm are found in the discharge, there are regularly usable sperm found in the testis, as not all sperm that are made in the testis really make it into the discharge.
It is the complete lack of sperm in the ejaculate. It occurs in 5% of infertile men. If this is the case, then one or both of two conditions may be present:
A) There is a problem with sperm production.
B) There is a lockage such that sperm production, although normal, cannot reach the ejaculate.
The primary question, which needs to be answered when faced with azoospermia, is whether the problem lies in the sperm production or in the delivery. That is, are the testes simply not producing sperm or are they producing sperm but unable to deliver it in the ejaculate? The purpose of an initial evaluation is to distinguish between these two alternatives. If the testes are making sperm but none are in the ejaculate, the sperm must be retrieved by some other mechanism, either by restoring the normal flow of sperm or by circumventing it. If the testes are not producing sperm then we need to explore whether the problem can be reversed. Even if the problem cannot be reversed, there are a number of cases in which the level of spermatogenesis is advanced enough to allow a natural conception with Welling Homeopathy treatment. The following paragraphs briefly describe causes for both production and delivery problems.
Hormonal Problems: The testicles need pituitary hormones to be stimulated to make sperm. If these are absent or severely decreased, the testes will not maximally produce sperm. Importantly, men who take androgens (steroids) either by mouth or injection for body building shut down the production of hormones for sperm production.
Testicular Failure: This generally refers to the inability of the sperm producing part of the testicle (the seminiferous epithelium) to make adequate numbers of mature sperm. This failure may occur at any stage in sperm production for a number of reasons. Either the testicle may completely lack the cells that divide to become sperm (this is called "Sertoli cell-only syndrome.") or there may be an inability of the sperm to complete their development (this is termed a "maturation arrest.") This situation may be caused by genetic abnormalities, which must be screened for.
Varicocele: A varicocele is dilated veins in the scrotum, (just as an individual may have vericose veins in their legs.) These veins are dilated because the blood does not drain properly from them. These dilated veins allow extra blood to pool in the scrotum, which has a negative effect on sperm production. This condition may be corrected by minor out-patient surgery.
Sperm delivery complications are generally caused either by a problem with the ductal system that carries the sperm, or problems with ejaculation. The sperm carrying ducts may be missing or blocked. Thus the patient may have bilateral (both sides) congenital (from birth) absence of the vas deferens. Or he may have obstructions either at the level of the epididymis (the delicate tubular structure draining the testes) or higher up in the more muscular vas deferens. He may have become mechanically blocked during hernia or hydrocele repairs.
Sperm are stored in sacs called the seminal vesicles, and then are deposited in the urethra, which is the tube through which men urinate and ejaculate. The sperm must pass through the ejaculatory ducts to get from the seminal vesicles to the urethra. If these are blocked on both sides no sperm will come through.
Finally, there may be problems with ejaculation. Before a man ejaculates, the sperm must first be deposited in the urethra. This process is called emission. There may be neurological damage from surgery, diabetes, or spinal cord injury, which prevents this from happening. Also, for the sperm to be pushed out the tip of the penis, the entry to the bladder must be closed down. If it does not close down the sperm will be pushed into the bladder, and later washed out when the patient urinates.
One important point concerning this diagnosis is that although no sperm are found in the ejaculate, there are often usable sperm found in the testis, as not all sperm that are made in the testis actually make it into the ejaculate. There is a "threshold" effect with sperm production, such that if production of sperm is high enough in the testis, then sperm"spill over" into the ejaculate. However, if that critical level of sperm production is not met, there may still be mature sperm in the testis that do not make it into the ejaculate. Hence absent sperm in the ejaculate doesn't mean there is no production of sperm in the testis.
First, a thorough review of medical problems, exposures, past surgery, medications, and family history is undertaken in the office to help define causes of azoospermia. Then, a brief, well-performed physical examination is performed. Third, blood tests are taken that include testosterone and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Fourth, two semen samplesare needed. With each sample, a standard semen analysis is performed. If no sperm are found, then the semen sample undergoes an additional evaluation in which the sample is "spun" down in a centrifuge to concentrate small numbers of sperm at the bottom of the tube. If 10 sperm or even 1 sperm is present in the pellet analysis, then conditions such as reproductive tract obstruction can be ruled out.
Again, the value of finding even a small number of sperm in the pellet analysis is very significant because:
1) it means that complete obstruction is unlikely, and
2) it means that men may have the production of sperm intact and the homeopathic medications just need to stimulate and increase the sperm production above the threshold level.
If at all possible, treating the specific condition that is causing the azoospermia may reverse the process and lead to sperm production. This is especially true for azoospermia due to hot tubs or hot baths or testosterone supplements
Primary testicular failure Klinefelter syndrome
Y chromosome microdeletions
Genetic infertility due to abnormal chromosomes (karyotype)
Unexplained genetic infertility
Secondary testicular failure Kallman Syndrome
Unexplained gonadotropin deficiency
Hypothalamic/pituitary tumor
Cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery)
Varicocele effect
Pituitary suppression Drug induced (anabolic steroids, alcohol, glucocorticoids)
Testosterone supplements
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Severe illness (cancer, kidney or liver failure)
Diabetes mellitus
Sickle cell anemia
Sperm autoimmunity
Pesticide/toxin exposure (including hot tubs and baths)
Undescended testicles at birth
Obstruction Congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD)
Ejaculatory duct obstruction
Scrotal trauma or surgery
Young syndrome
Overall, we can say that Azoospermia is a medical condition that several men undergo and it involves the absence of a measurable quantity of sperm cell at the time of ejaculation. Approx 5% of men with problems with infertility suffer from this condition. Azoospermia treatment in India is well-known for its decent success rate.
Azoospermia treatment India is often detected once a pair seeks facilitates to conceive from associate degree physiological condition specialist. It is often wiped out the subsequent ways in which Blood tests, MRI or a biopsy is included. Blood samples are taken from a male partner to test for any reasonable diseases, disorders, or infections; a magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most effective method to detect any drawback within the body. Biopsy, in biopsy a sample of the cells is extracted from the male to find the matter. Other ways in which to find Azoospermia are genetic screening, and imaging tests.

These past few months there has been a dimensional change when it comes to the conversation about blogging and bloggers. Most recently, I have noticed that a lot of bloggers both local and foreign are giving a little piece of advice here and there . How to start a blog with no budget by Kenyan blogger Nancie Mwai is my latest read and I immediately went into a state of retrospect to around 9 months ago when I finally decided to gather my thoughts and inspiration ideas and go for it. No camera, No WiFi , just passion , a wardrobe and a support system. Fast forward to today , here I am working with different brands like Infinix Kenya , doing reviews, getting custom made pieces and outfits by local designers like Roma Designs Africa. All I can say is that I am grateful I took a risk and did what I could. I urge you today take a risk and make it happen.
When it comes to fashion and personal style what are some of the risks that you can take and make the best out of them? If I tell you that this outfit was not meant to be how it is would you agree? I think the person who discovered dip and dye or ripped jeans was not out to find out how bleach can affect clothes , it must have been an accident if sorts.
I wore this outfit to Thrift Social 7, the denim edition. Knowing that I did not want to blend in with everyone at the event , I asked my good friend Robert Mandela creator of Roma Designs Africa , to help me come up with an outfit for the day. After a couple of hours we settled on the type of shirt I wanted, which was a mandarin collar and longline shirt, I initially wanted the sky blue acid wash color , but he took a risk and got me this grey stone wash fabric. I remember telling him on phone that I was not too excited about the color. He laughed and told me to collect my outfit the next day. I was in love!! His fashion risk paid off! This is by far one of my most favorite outfits. At Thrift Social not only did I stand out but I got a style approval from NarokNYC creator Zeddie Lukoe, which was a major highlight in its own way.
When working with designers it is important that there is a synchronized interaction. They should understand what you like and how you like it. As a client you should also understand their capability and challenge their skills in a good way.

Starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterson, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton and Colin Farrell
Warning: Spoilers!
I went into this with reasonably low expectations (it felt like another needless Hollywood cash grab, like splitting the Hobbit into 3, and I wasn't that enthralled by the trailers). My main point of reservation was basing a Harry Potter spin-off around a character only briefly referenced in the books, in a setting that surely wouldn't match the lustre and wonder of Hogwarts. There seemed far more obvious candidates for a spin-off than Newt Scamander (looking back at James, Lupin and Sirius' time at Hogwarts for instance). All things considered though, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw.
Eddie Redmayne's winning performance as Newt makes for a lead character you never hesitate to root for, with his clumsy and socially awkward, yet wise and caring personality in some ways reminding me of Matt Smith's Doctor. The other leads are also brought to life well, Katherine Watson's downtrodden auror Tina instantly wins your sympathy, while her sister Queenie (Alison Sudol) is a talented legitimens who is both adorable, funny and immensely likeable. However, surprisingly, its the muggle (or No-Maj) Jacob Kowalski who along with Newt is the heart and soul of this film – he's extremely funny and charming and his friendship with Newt is perfectly portrayed. Indeed, the humour is probably the best thing about the movie – its easily the wittiest thing JK Rowling has written. Dan Fogler's comic timing in particular, is perfect, and the adorable Niffler steals the show at every opportunity. The magical creatures in general are a high point of the movie, all are memorable and Newt's love for them shines through beautifully.
It doesn't all work, the second Salemers subplot doesn't really go anywhere (Samantha Morton's character seems especially pointless – unlike the Dursleys, her hatred of magic is never satisfactorily explained nor is her performance particularly memorable). The casting in general, while good with the four leads, lacks the magic touch that made the Harry Potter ensemble so special. Colin Farrell as Graves really lacks the sense of menace that a Voldemort, Bellatrix or Umbridge brought to the role of lead villain. Johnny Depp may only be on screen for 1 minute as Grindelwald, but he doesn't look or feel like a natural choice for the role, and most of the supporting American No-maj characters in particular seem very, very bland.
One thing that does excel is James Newton Howard's score, which is easily up there with Nicholas Hooper and John Williams' work for Harry Potter (far surpassing Alexandre Desplat's). The visuals are equally amazing, the various magical creatures all looking believable and outlandish at the same time, while the magic is still as enrapturing as ever. The only thing that doesn't really excite you is the New York backdrop – it's just no comparison to Hogwarts and is so overused in movies and TV at the moment that as a setting it feels a bit of an unoriginal choice. Nevertheless, I don't mind it being set in America, as giving us a view of a new part of the wizarding world was interesting and the 1920's time period was memorable by itself.
I know some people who didn't like this because its too different from Harry Potter, and yes, that is true, but it has great potential as a series regardless, and Rowling hasn't lost her touch at writing an engaging story. In short, the humour, charismatic leads, adorable creatures, stunning magic and the sheer charm of the thing are more than enough reason to give this film a chance and judge the spin-off series on its own merits.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Overall a charming, funny and often magical return to the Harry Potter universe, even if the acting isn't as stellar as the original series in places and the American setting doesn't quite have the special feeling you got from Hogwarts. Eddie Redmayne and Dan Fogler are a classic odd couple double act, and I sincerely hope Kowalski, Queenie and Tina return in the sequel.
As promised in my look back at the Harry Potter films, here's my view of what happens if I had to place the books/films in order, including Fantastic Beasts in the film list:
1. Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Half-Blood Prince
3. Goblet of Fire
4. Deathly Hallows
5. Chamber of Secrets
6. Philosopher's Stone
7. Order of the Phoenix
1. Deathly Hallows Part 2
2. Goblet of Fire
3. Order of the Phoenix
4. Prisoner of Azkaban
5. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
6. Half-Blood Prince
7. Chamber of Secrets
8. Philosopher's Stone
9. Deathly Hallows Part 1
As you can see, apart from the first two entries, the films adaptations shift my perspective a lot! Overall I must say I slightly prefer the films in all cases bar two (Prisoner of Azkaban and Half-Blood Prince – which I love so much no film version was going to match them), while Fantastic Beasts sits comfortably mid-table.
I'll be on a temporary break from reviews for two weeks due to university coursework, but I'll be back around the 17th with my review of Star Wars: Rogue One!

Oran Mor, Glasgow, Wed 26 Sep
If Leslie Feist has done one thing in her varied career that deserves to make her a star, it's the day she spent shooting the video to her recent, mesmerisingly cheerful single '1234'. Google it or find it on her MySpace, because it's a riot of sequinned catsuits and dazzling, large-scale dance choreography. You can never go wrong with a good dance sequence, can you?
For such an intuitively sweet and naturally folksy singer, it might come as a surprise to many that Nova Scotian Feist's old flatmate and best friend in music is Merrill Nisker, otherwise known as Peaches. Yet it was Nisker who sounded more like Feist in those days, until she cemented her more mucky persona when the pair moved to Berlin with Canadian electronicist Gonzalez. The trio have constantly appeared on each others' records, while Feist's extended stay in Paris (she moved back to Toronto earlier this year) saw her work with Kings of Convenience. She's also a sporadic member of Broken Social Scene.
All of which point to an artist who's more familiar as a collaborator rather than an innovator, and that might have been the case when her first two albums Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down) (1999) and Let It Die (2004) were released to only a murmur of approval. Yet this year's The Reminder – number two in Canada, 16 in the States – is a work of spirit and soul that finally, loudly demands attention for Feist in it's own right. And yes, '1234's on it.

Cogs and Gears
This is a little bit of a teaser and reinvention of what I'm doing at the moment. I realised recently while reading all the usual blogs I visit that so many things we make are a recreation of the same straight lines and defined patterns. I'm throwing all that out the window!!
What this means is that the raid your stash quilt-a-long is probably dead and buried for a while. I have no desire to work on complex straight line piecing at the moment. I want curves, dynamic ideas, pictures, a story... perhaps this is Leah Day's fault with her phenominal quilts and inspiring free-motion quilting, but I also think I am finally on track to what attracted me to quilting in the first place.
This week I've been working on using my cog or gear design which I showed you how to make by folding paper. This is the first of a series of designs that are rattling around in my head and I plan on turning them all into printable patterns for you too!
I'm not sure whether this counts as reverse applique or not, but I have been reading through Applique in Reverse by Teri Henderson Tope and there is so much potential from this technique.
Yesterday I discovered a problem... I'd been using a black polyester thread to do my applique and while pressing under a hot iron it melted! Of course I should have known better... and I have just finished re-sewing my edges with a 100% cotton thread. It is extremely important to use a 100% cotton or silk thread which won't melt when you iron!!

How to make a Symetrical Template
1. Take an A4 sheet of paper and fold it diagonally to create a triangle. Cut off the overlap so you are left with a square sheet of paper that is folded diagonally.
2. Fold your paper diagonally a second time.
3. Fold diagonally again. You might want to fold up one side then flip over and fold up the other side to reduce bulk and ensure all your folds are crisp and sharp.
4. To create a perfect circle, use a compas to carefully mark from the closest point. Put the point of the compass on the point which is the centre of your paper where all the folds come together.
5. Mark a design on the paper that you like. In this instance I'm making a cog, so I've used the compass to mark more circles then drawn some lines connecting them. I didn't draw the lines from the point as I want the joinin areas so be the same thickness all along, not thinner at the centre and wider at the edge.
6. Cut along the lines, then unfold - Just like making a paper snowflake when you were young!
7. Experiment!! Depending on how you fold will depend on your symmetry.
I used this method to create a shape and drew around it to create my cog design to follow when quilting. You could use any kind of fabric marker to transfer your design, and you know it is going to be symmetrical and look great!!
This creates a cog that is approximately 20cm wide. You could make it smaller or larger depending on the size of your paper.

What is Steampunk?
What is Steampunk? That is a great question, and as I've got a few projects going at the moment inspired by Steampunk lets try and answer it.
Steampunk is a relatively new branch of science fiction and speculative fiction. It is the imagining of an alternate history where we think what would today be like, if technology had continued its focus on steam power and clockwork rather than advances into electricity. It usually borrows heavily from Victorian era clothing and aesthetics including the colours, textures (wood, brass) and technology.
You may have heard of HG Wells or Jules Verne who are seen as huge influences of the style or seen cartoons like Steamboy or Laputa Castle in the Sky. Even movies like Stardust, Van Helsing, Sherlock Holmes (2009) and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have been influenced by steampunk.
The best way to get the gist of the style is of course in pictures, so here are a few more of my favourite steampunk costumers: (all photos can be clicked to see larger!)

No state has more at stake in the momentous — and imminent — U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Obama administration's health care reform law than California.
The ruling could affect millions of its residents and determine whether the state receives billions in new federal revenue.
The full impact, of course, depends on how the justices rule, since they could throw out the law entirely, declare it all constitutional, or reject portions of it, such as mandated insurance for most Americans. Their ruling could come as soon as Monday.
But any decision striking down even part of the law will reach across California. "There's no state in the nation that would be more dramatically affected than California," said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California, a consumer group.
California, which has nearly 7 million uninsured residents, has aggressively sought to implement the law, known as the Affordable Care Act.
For instance, it has extended coverage to more than 400,000 low-income adults in programs set up by 47 counties.
And it has placed 11,000 people in a new insurance pool for those whose health problems make it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain coverage.
If the law is struck down, California stands to lose nearly $9 billion a year in federal funds beginning in 2014 to expand Medi-Cal, the state's version of the federal Medicaid program for the poor and disabled, the Kaiser Family Foundation has estimated.
California has passed legislation to implement some popular provisions of the Affordable Care Act, so those would continue even if the law is struck down. These include: allowing young adults to remain on their parents' health insurance policies, up to age 26; banning insurers from rejecting children younger than 18 because of their health problems; and, beginning Sunday, requiring new health insurance policies to cover maternity services.
Pros and cons
Antioch resident Elizabeth Harris hopes the court upholds the law because she believes it will help her to get the surgery she needs for painfully severe back problems. The 53-year-old part-time home-care worker has no insurance.
A clinic told her to go to the county hospital emergency room, but she worried that she would receive a bill she could not pay. "So you'd rather stay with the pain," she said.
Under the health reform law, Harris might be able to obtain coverage through the upcoming Medi-Cal expansion or by finding subsidized coverage in a marketplace — the California Health Benefit Exchange — that would open in 2014.
If the law is upheld, the state hopes to pre-enroll people in October 2013.
Supporters of the law argue the court should leave it untouched, saying it is clearly constitutional. They also point to support for popular consumer protections in the bill, including rebates on some insurance premiums, help for seniors who fall into a Medicare prescription drug coverage gap known as "the doughnut hole," free annual wellness checkups for Medicare recipients and the elimination of lifetime caps on health benefits.
But critics view the health care law as more boondoggle than boon. They argue that it will drive up premiums and other health care costs, cause many employers to drop coverage, build up bureaucracy and result in people having less control over their options.
"The president thought by giving away all these freebies that this would make the bill popular," said John Graham, director of health care studies for Pacific Research Institute, a San Francisco-based free-market think tank. "But when we look at it in aggregate, it's a very socially irresponsible piece of legislation."
Graham favors a free-market approach that he says gives consumers more power over health care decisions and spending.
If the court throws out the part of the law that requires most people to buy insurance, the Obama administration and others say the judges also should strike the requirement that insurers enroll people regardless of pre-existing health conditions beginning in 2014.
Without universal enrollment, insurers say it would be unfair to require them to accept all sick people. That would let healthy people put off getting insurance until they needed it, resulting in a smaller insurance pool with sicker people. That would be unsustainable and would drive up premiums, insurers say.
State's alternatives
If the court rejects insurance mandates for all, California could enact its own mandate or adopt incentives and penalties that impel people to get insurance, said Marian Mulkey, director of health reform for the California HealthCare Foundation.
Newark resident Shavon Walker is among those who are following the decision closely. Losing the law "would really disappoint and scare me," she said. The 37-year-old has diabetes, high blood pressure and other health problems. Although she has coverage through her husband's job, she worries that if she loses that, no insurers will accept her because of her medical condition.
"What would we do for health care?" she asked. "Do free clinics become flooded with people like me?"

California programs that could be in jeopardy depending on the Supreme Court's ruling include:
Low-Income Health Program: More than 400,000 low-income, mostly childless adults covered by interim programs in 47 counties. They would be transferred to Medi-Cal when it expands under the national reform in 2014.
Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan: Coverage for nearly 11,000 people whose health problems make it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain insurance. Program would end in 2014 when insurers could no longer reject people based on their medical conditions.
California Health Benefit Exchange: State plans to open a marketplace in 2014 where many consumers could choose a health plan and determine whether they qualify for subsidies. Pre-enrollment is to begin in October 2013.
Insurance company rebates: Insurers that fail to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on medical care and quality improvement, rather than salaries and other administrative costs, must rebate the difference to customers. Nearly 1.9 million Californians will receive $73.9 million in rebates this summer, averaging $65 per family.
Some consumer protections will continue no matter what the Supreme Court decides because California has passed laws requiring that:
Young adults can remain on their parents' health insurance policies up to age 26.
Insurers can no longer reject children under age 18 because of their health problems.
Beginning July 1, new health insurance policies must cover maternity services.
Insurers can no longer cancel people's coverage when they become ill because of unintentional misrepresentations on their applications.

When introducing a new crop new to any region, there are trial and error experiences and we encounter several.We lost most our lavender in the harsh winter of 2014-2015.The prior summer the lavender had been weaken with a fungus and we believe the lavender was too weak to sustain zero degree temperatures the following winter.
We have experience good success with the test plots and are going to begin replanting next year.
But we have decided at this time, to replant on a much smaller scale as before, primarily for our own use.
We thoroughly enjoy working with this unique plant which is one of God's greatest gifts to mankind.
Millbrook Lavender Farm, is nestled in one of the most picturesque valleys of the Great Smoke Mountains in East Tennessee.
The initial planting of 4000 lavender plants, consisting of both "English and French" varieties, was completed in the Spring of 2011.
Surrounded by the beautiful mountain tops and bordered by the crystal clear mountain creek, Millbrook Creek.Started by Larry and Pat White, the farm is located in Sevierville, Tennessee.The farm produced many crops over several generations, mainly tobacco and vegetables; and provided a lively hood on these crops.The old tobacco barns and spring house foundation (used to keep perishables cool with mountain springs) are still a part of the farm.However, we have now introduced a new crop to the land – lavender.The initial planting, in 2011, of 4000 lavender plants, consisted of various varieties such as Melissa, Munstead, Royal Velvet, Grosso, Provence, and Super.

Rutger Hauer - Alexander Stuyvesant
After years of crossing the dry plains of what was at one time the Netherlands, explorer Alexander Stuyvesant discovers the remains of the lost archives of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.
Once inside, the explorer is mesmerized by the historical footage he finds. Connecting himself to the archive's motherboard, Stuyvesant is presented with an overwhelming array of historical television moments, filling the world around him.
Eagerly navigating through the archives, Stuyvesant is drawn into a highly charged, emotional journey through the iconic moments of Dutch television history, discovering a fascinating range of human emotions...
This short film is produced by CCCP (www.cccp.nl) and commissioned by The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (www.beeldengeluid.nl). The film will be broadcast every three hours daily (starting December 2, 2006) on a 42 by 4 meter screen in the Media Experience in Hilversum.
The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision houses and releases 70 % of the Dutch audio-visual heritage. This is, in total, around 700,000 hours of television, radio, music and film.
Unique to the Netherlands and world-wide, there is no other public facility like the Media Experience which directly links to the archives. The youthful history of audio-visual media demands a new form of experience, and Sound and Vision focuses on this in their multimedia public facility. The link to the archives means that Sound and Vision is up-to-date and different each day.
Sound and Vision most closely resembles a fantasy town, just waiting to be explored by the visitor. Whether you want to lose yourself in dreams in front of images of bygone times, to produce your own program or to learn more about the relationship between power and the media, here everything is possible.

In May 2012, Google announced the Knowledge Graph which is designed to help users see factual summaries related to their search queries for such things as biographies of notable figures, tour dates for musicians, and the cast of movies.
The purpose of the Knowledge Graph according to Google is to help users:
- Find the right thing
- Get the best summary
- Go deeper and broader to discover more about the search
The Knowledge Graph is available worldwide now, provided the search is made in English.
With the Knowledge Graph, Google is trying to make search more intelligent. The results are more relevant because the search engine understands these entities, and the nuances in their meaning, in the same way the user does. This makes the search engine "think" more like the user.
How is the Knowledge Graph Transforming Google?
Google says:
"We've always believed that the perfect search engine should understand exactly what you mean and give you back exactly what you want. And we can now sometimes help answer your next question before you've asked it, because the facts we show are informed by what other people have searched for."
Recently, Matt Cutts delivered the opening keynote for SES San Francisco (August 2012) where he clearly mentioned that one of the key focuses for Google is to move away from being a search engine and focus on becoming a knowledge engine. Google is so committed to this that Google's Search Quality team has been renamed to Google's Knowledge Team.
Google has been working hard on creating the vast database of structured knowledge that powers the features. Today, the Knowledge Graph database holds information about 500 million people, places, and things. More importantly, though, it also indexes over 3.5 billion defining attributes and connections between these items. Google's algorithms have access to this structured data. And, importantly, so do you!
Google is also indexing structured data found in the form of schemas and microformats on websites, which it shares with the webmasters in Google Webmaster Tools.
Certainly this kind of an added dimension to search results will make the SEOs put on their thinking caps to churn out strategies to retain and improve search visibility for their websites.
How is the Knowledge Graph Transforming SEO?
The Knowledge Graph is also paving the way to new approaches toward SEO.
Semantic search isn't just about the web. It's about all information, data, and applications.
Data is the foundation on which such a web and search world can exist. Data in itself is meaningless, but when data gets linked because of its relationships with various data sets available on the web, it becomes useful and meaningful. So when users type in a query, these inter-connected relationships add context and the related information more powerful.
Content undoubtedly is the basis and the key to better results, but just adding content for the sake of adding content isn't enough. The content needs to be correlated, connected, and shared via authority accounts on the web, such as on social media sites, to show it is valuable to users, which helps the website gain authority.
Further on, if this content is available in structured format then the probability of it being visible in the Knowledge Graph increases. Content expressed as microdata on the web page gets correlated easily to the data vocabulary it is giving information about, making it easy for the search engine find relevance and connectivity.
Google has stated that they only support a handful of these microdata types, including:
- Reviews
- People
- Products
- Businesses and organizations
- Recipes
- Events
- Music
- Video
If your website includes any of these types of content, you're eligible for a microdata implementation, which will surely future proof your search presence.
In this new quality era of search we have to move our focus away from keywords and focus more on the keyness factor of the content which has the potential to correlate to searches made on the search engines as the semantic web adds more meaning to the query for a search rather than just mapping words during the search process.
(Note: I know there is no such word as "keyness" but by the "keyness factor" I mean the the correlation, relevance, and the essence of the content rather than the actual word to word keyword mapping.)
Image credit: Wikipedia
As you can see in the image above, we have URI and Unicode as the basis of the web. This can be called the first step which adds the keyness to the webpage and the content of that page that you want to promote organically on search engines or on the web.
The keyness factor can be derived from the context of the terms, terminolgy and text used in the content of URl, title, headings, anchor text of the inbound links, alt text used on images, schema codes, meta tags, microformats and body text.
If we focus on the keyness factor and try to cater to correlate to a wide range of keyword data rather than focusing on the keywords alone in the URLs, titles and descriptions it gets passed on to the next layer of the emerging web, making the pages pass on more correlation and relevance and also syncs the on page signals with the off-page signals which get directly indexed in the search engines in the form of feeds and sitemaps.
The second, third, and fourth layers have the XML, RDF and Schema content. The content that we mostly have in this format is the RSS feeds and sitemaps which are in XML and the contact details, videos, reviews, events,etc now are being represented more and more in the RDF format.
Focus on These Metrics
Search is moving away from word to word mapping to content relevance and correlation. It's high time we moved on from quantitative metrics to qualitative metrics. This can be done by moving our focus from the keywords to the keyness of the content.
For that we have to focus on the following metrics rather than rankings alone to judge if are web presence is passing the test of each layer.
- Content Keywords: Which give and idea of keyword variance in the index and relevance
- Search Queries: Which give an idea about correlation
- Number of Impressions: Which give an idea about how well the search engine is able to combine and sync the on page signals with the off-page signals.
- Landing Pages: This gives us an idea about how well each URL is getting indexed along with proper relevance and the correlation factor.
- Click-Through Rate: This indicates the success factor of the on-page titles and descriptions of the landing page for that relevant search query.
Factors to Focus on When Writing & Sharing Content
- Content and Authorship Markup: The quality of the content and the authorship markup in the code of the page gives the identity to the writer or the brand. If the content meets the quality standards of Google and is represented using microformats then Google is able to extract the rich snippet for the author and other meta data used to represent schemas and microformats from the code of the page. This gives the content and the writer their due in SERPs.
- Connectivity: Tim Berners-Lee (The man who invented the World Wide Web and created the HTTP protocol) had once said that all data on the web – whether it is government, enterprise, or social data – is inter-linked and has relationships and all these signals are establishing your web presence. How well you refer to other sites having relevant content and how many sites refer back to the content considering it a valuable resource determine the inter-connectivity of data and documents. Other social signals like the shares, likes, +1s, etc. are a medium to quantify these signals.
- Relevance: Relevance is self-explanatory, but what needs to be kept in mind is that every piece of content is relevant to a certain specific topic so that it becomes the relevant landing page for the various permutations and combinations of the search queries related to that page or content. If the connectivity to the content and from the content is of relevance and topical it further adds to the relevance factor.
- Correlation: The content, connectivity, and the relevance of the content cause the correlation. And surely every SEO has heard the statement "Correlation is not causation."
Some Points on Correlation & Causation
- Almost all SEO is correlative rather than causative.
- Moreover, a correlation need not be causative.
- You need a sizable chunk of data over a period of time (at least 4-6 months) in order to establish any connect between the correlation and causation to come to any onclusion.
- This correlation analysis requires a lot of time, effort, and an eye for detail by an expert.
- Jumping to quick conclusions will just cause more confusion.
Authority, Security & Trust
- Authority: The authorship markup gives the content writer or brand an identity but if the content is shared by multiple users and authority accounts of that relevant industry then it adds to the goodwill and generates an authority factor. The social signals by way of retweets, likes, +1s, user-generated content in the form of comments, etc. add the magnitude to the signals. The quantification of social signals is still at the initial stages as the social and search integration is also still at the budding stage. But, the authority factor is one of the key quality factors to determine a site as a quality site as mentioned on this article
- Security: If the site safeguards the user's privacy and the user feels confident in sharing the data asked in the form or feels confident using his credit card for payment then it adds on to the trust factor and this factor has the potential for making a first time user a regular visitor or online customer.
- Trust: Trust is the end result of all these factors in action. Trust is the emotional and logical aspect of the users decision to refer and recommend the site and content if he has been getting valuable information from the site.
It All Starts With Content
If you create content using high quality standards and it has in-depth information about a topic, then it will be shared by people and referred by other sites, which will add to the connectivity and relevance. If such content has the added dimension of the security layer, then it has the potential to have a high authority and trust factor – making it a valuable resource Google will be unable to ignore.

If you're tired of showing up to 4th of July parties with the same berry flag cake (no offense), you've gotta stop what you're doing right now and make my patriotic oreo cheesecake bars.
They are super creamy with a chocolatey oreo crust and the red and blue swirls are actually pureed strawberries and blueberries (with a little gel food coloring for bold color)! These bars are relatively easy to make-the hardest part is waiting for them to set up! If you're short on time, follow the same fruit swirl technique using your favorite no bake cheesecake recipe!
I had so much fun making these on Home & Family.You can grab the full recipe here.

Olympic and US Open champion Andy Murray expressed his pride at being awarded an OBE in the New Year Honours list.
The 25-year-old was one of a host of sporting stars to receive honours as part of a special list rewarding British athletes who excelled at the London Olympics and Paralympics.
Murray said in a statement on his official website: "It is with incredible pride that I have been named in the New Year's Honours list to receive an OBE from Her Majesty the Queen for services to sport. This has been an amazing year for British sport and I am proud to have been able to play my part."
He added: "I reached my first Wimbledon final, competed and won gold at the London 2012 Olympics with Team GB at Wimbledon, and then won my first grand slam title at the US Open.
"Being recognised in such a way at the end of such a great season is the finishing touch on 2012. Thank you all for your support, I hope everyone has a very happy New Year....and here's to 2013!"
Murray went into the Olympics still looking to win one of tennis' biggest titles after falling just short at Wimbledon in July. The Scot reached the final for the first time, ending a 74-year wait for a home men's singles finalist, but was beaten in four sets by Roger Federer.
Murray reacted in superb fashion, though, beating Novak Djokovic to guarantee himself a first Olympic medal and then handing Federer his worst defeat on grass to clinch gold in the men's singles on Wimbledon's Centre Court.
Murray almost made it two gold medals on the same day before he won silver in the mixed doubles with Laura Robson.
The hope was the success would spur him on to break his grand slam duck, and he did just that at the first opportunity by winning the US Open in New York, ending Fred Perry's 76-year reign as Britain's last male grand slam singles champion.

The station and reference marks 1 and 2 were found in good condition as described. The distance from the road given in the 1983 recovery note is correct. The witness post is still in place. The azimuth mark was not found.
Reference mark 1 is described twice in the 1959 monumentation note. Disregard the first description because it appears to be an inadvertent duplication of the station mark description. The second paragraph describing RM 1 is accurate.
Handheld GPS coordinates for RM 1 are 35 02 38.0(N) 109 48 02.2(W). Handheld GPS coordinates for RM 2 are 35 02 37.7(N) 109 48 02.6(W).

Buying an advent calendar can be tricky business when there are so many on the market, and while you may think this post is redundant as, well its past advent season, I feel it is completely needed. My reason for this is that Look Fantastic do the surprise element of the calendar so well, it doesn't actually tell you anywhere whats in it before you buy it. This wont help you with next years as such, but I find if you don't want to look what is in it, you can always judge the previous years to see if you think it will be something you want. I had the Look Fantastic on this year and I can honestly say I loved it and while I did look and find out what was in last years before buying it, I didn't this year as I wanted the surprises. So what was in it?
I will start with hair care as this is a smaller category and will kick it off nicely. I got three things relating to hair care and I am really pleased with the product range. First we have a Moroccan oil hair treatments, this is a hair oil and while I do already have one of these on the go I really like it so I am excited to have a back up. I then have the Redken no blow dry airy cream. This is something I hadn't heard of before getting it in here so a great way to try something new! You apply this to damp hair and leave it to air dry, I am so excited about this as I leave my hair to air dry about 90% of the time so I will get a lot of use from this. Lastly for hair care we have the Grow Gorgeous scalp detox exfoliating pre-wash treatment, this is designed to exfoliate the scalp and and remove impurities. My hair feels like it never grows like it should and so I hope that this will give my hair some life and help it be in better condition.
Moving on to skin care I have nine products in this category so I definitely think this one and the beauty are the main focus of the calendar! First up I have the Korres wild rose advanced repair sleeping facial, this is a facial cream that you apply after cleansing and leave on in order to work over night. I love using new face creams so will be testing this one out over the coming months to see how it works for my skin. Following this I got the Caudalie moisture sorbet, this is another face cream which can be applied morning and night in order to hydrate and smooth the skin, I hear such good things about Caudalie and I have only tried the facial toner spray so I am excited to try more things. Sticking with creams, I have the Elemis pro-collagen marine cream, this is a day cream and is designed to be anti wrinkle and anti aging and I have read in several places to start using anti wrinkle products in your 20's and so I am excited to try some out as I have never really used anything anti aging so this could kick me into gear!
Still on skin care I have the Oskia London Renaissance mask, again I have heard amazing things about Oskia and so I am really excited to be able to test out the brand and see how it will work and I will get a few uses from this to see if I enjoy it. Another product I am excited to try is the Omrovicza Queen of Hungary mist, the only thing I can liken this to is the Cauidalie toner spray as I haven't used many other toner sprays and haven't properly tried this yet, but I am excited to have a new skin care routine forming. Facial oils are something I use for a long time and then forget them for ages and then go back to them, however getting a new one will kick me back into gear and make me use them more. I have the Dr Botanicals Moroccan rose superfood facial oil and I think it will be so nice to use and give my skin a boost as it isn't at its best this winter. Next up I have the Dr Lipp original nipple balm, ok it sounds a bit crazy, but its for dry skin, luscious lips and glossy bits. I will be using this as a lip balm and testing it out, but it sounds very strange when you read out the name! I then have two make up remover products the first being a Balance me flash cleanse micellar water, I love micellar waters so I know this will have a firm place in my bathroom. The last product is one I am so excited to try out, this is the Magnitone wipe out microfibre cleansing cloth. This removes make up with just water... Just water! I have seen a lot of these be tested online and I am so excited to try this out and see how it works as I am very intrigued!
For body care I got four things which are also a good range and a nice mixture to test out and see what they are like. The first thing I have is the Molton Brown gingerlilly body wash, I love these body washes and this smells so lovely I can't wait to pop it into the shower and use it in the New year when I have finished my project pan. First aid beauty is another brand I haven't tried but have seen a lot about, I received the Ultra repair cream in the advent calendar and I have used this sporadically over the past few weeks and I do like it, but I do need to give it a better test to really get a better feel for it. Hand cream is something I am making more of an effort to use now the weather is cold, and so to receive the Crabtree and Evelyn hand therapy was a real bonus and I will be popping it into my handbag in order to have it on the go. Lastly, and the product I am least excited about, but will still get a lot of use from is the James Reed Gradual tan H2O Illuminating tan mist body. I am least excited about this as I don't usually fake tan, however, I will give this a go in the summer as I always need a little bit of colour as I am so pale and can only burn, I never tan in the sun
The make up category is one of the most exciting, and I can honestly say I am so pleased to get almost a full face of make up! I didn't really expect any duplicates, but I also wasn't sure how much make up to expect and we have nine things, one of which being a set of three, so it really is great?! The first one I am going to talk about is the primer, this is the This works in transit camera close up, this is a mask moisturiser and primer all in one so will act as a perfect product to travel with and minimise the amount I would have to take with me. I love primers and use them all the time so I know this will definitely get used. I then have the Banana setting powder I am excited for this, but being so pale I have heard people say they can look a little yellow on the skin, but I will give it a good go and see how I get on. Next is a beautiful rose gold brush from Look Fantastic and is like a blush or bronzing brush and I will be testing it out to find is best use.
For eyes, I got four products, the first is for brows and is he Model co instant brows in the shade light medium which will work well for me, however if you bought this and have dark brows it might not work as well, but I will be having a go at filling in my brows with this and seeing how I get on. I then have a High definition eye shadow palette in the shade foxy, this has five neutral eye shadow shades in and I love the colours so I know the product will get a lot of use and the small size makes it convenient if I am travelling. To finish off an eye look I have the Ciate fierce flicks eye liner pen and the Doucce maxlash volume mascara, two products I can't wait to try as I love liquid liner and I love testing mascaras so I can't wait to see how they perform. Last up I have the Illamasqua lava lips marbled lipstick in Vixen, this is a beautiful red shade and I cant wait to play with it more and see how the marbling changes the lip colour. Lastly and most excitingly in day 25 I got a Pixi Hello Glow set which contains a liquid illuminator, a blush and highlighter duo and a glossy lip plumper which are all in beautiful shades and definitely an amazing thing to get on Christmas day.
I honestly think this is one of the best advent calendars on the market for myself, I love the range of brands, the mix of products and I am so excited about this years actual design. I will be keeping the drawers and storing stationary and products in it as it is the perfect thing to reuse and will look lovely on my desk and help keep me organised. I will definitely be hoping for next years version based on this years and last years as both were really good, and I am glad that although we have had some of the same brands as last year we haven't had any repeat products at all! I'd love to know if you had an advent calendar and what you thought to it as I am already planning on which ones I think I may want for next year based on this years line up!

Dane from Transistor Man had a Macbook Pro with a GPU that wasn't working. The system would boot but the display output was dead. Similar to the Xbox 360 BGA problems there are some Macbook Pro computers that have experienced BGA solder issues. The big issue here is that BGA devices have the solder connections under the device itself. Dane used a heat gun and a variac to blow a measured amount of heat onto the device to reflow the solder in attempts to repair the bad connections. The actual remelting of the solder isn't a quick application of heat as it is when you solder a through hole solder pad. To prevent thermal shock you need to slowly bring the part up to temperature using the typical temperature profile that is normally used to reflow parts.
Read here How to Reflow a Macbook Pro GPU.
Priligy a used premature therapy standard shipping all with price priligy . Apr 2014 contain active dapoxetine, is type known a...
There should be a HUGE banner at the top of the page: "DO THIS AS THE LAST RESORT MEASURE". It's so much not guaranteed to work after you baked it, it's not even funny 🙂 My own success rate it similar reflowing efforts is about 20% at best. I do use a second heat gun from underneath wherever the PCB allows (no other components mounted on the underside) and I use an IR thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature but still, if you don't re-ball the BGA with new solder, you're not actually doing much good by just baking it – if some of the balls are larger than others (which is probably the original cause of the problem) – they'll still stay larger and some of the connections are still going to separate in the future.
I'll agree with Polytech. It's a viable method of "maybe" bringing the laptop back to life, but it would be wisest to reball the chip. But PLEASE squirt some flux under the chip, otherwise re-melting solder won't do anything good – there is absolutely no wetting without flux. Also OP did not make it work with OS X so the reflow was not successfull. Running Linux on it, not utilizing the GPU to the max is not a success in my opinion. I made a video of how it _should_ be done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0t7nkY8-vM
I was given a 2006 Mac Book Pro with a black video screen issue on both the LCD and external display port. I tried the oven method to reflow my ATI 1600 GPU, and although it did temporarily revive the video and the laptop worked again, the repair only lasted for a few months. Do you still have your laptop, and has the reflow held up?

Professionals from participating companies will also be invited to attend a one-day feedback conference in which the results of the study are reviewed, and HR trends impacting businesses are examined, if the region elects to hold a conference.
What are the objectives of the HRCS?
Our objective for this round of the HRCS was to continually evaluate how HR competencies are changing and how those competencies drive business performance. In this round of the study, we aimed to:
- Further understand the unique competencies of different regions.
- Collect more detailed data on how HR competencies help to develop specific organization capabilities in areas such as information, collaboration, innovation, risk management, strategic clarity, talent, and change.
- Examine HR's impact on alternative business performance measures.
- Identify cause and effect relationships between specific organization practices and performance metrics.
Can I still participate in the study?
Data collection for this round of the study is closed, but you can still take the assessment here.
What languages are available?
The study is available in English, Spanish, and Japanese.
HRCS Round 7 Report
In this report, we answer two questions: How do HR professionals deliver value and how do HR departments deliver value? The results simultaneously build upon insights from prior rounds and generate new insights for HR.Get the report

text: Very few people know that I have other animals besides reptiles. This is a picture of one of my three emus named Cosmo. I have had Cosmo since he was a chick in 2005. I was only 15 years old when we received Cosmo and the other birds from an old emu farm in Nampa, Idaho. I guess in a sense you can say we "rescued" Cosmo and his brother and sister from being butchered. They now live happily on several acres where they LOVE spending their days grazing the grassy fields. Emus are the second largest bird in the world and can run up to speeds of 40 mph! They are very inquisitive animals and come right up to you as you walk into their exhibit. A lot of people ask me why I have such large birds; my response is "How could you not?"

Dave's Rating:
Paris Hilton's idea of revenge
The Basics: A "hot" woman and her scabby, hairy mole-having, mucus-encrusted Garbage Pail Kid of a best female friend torment all the heterosexual men who cross their path. Then the gross one gets a makeover, and suddenly she's pretty, too. And that's pretty much it. Calling it unfunny and incoherent is like calling Charles Manson mildly neurotic. In fact, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to call this one of the worst films of all time. I said this in my column, but it bears repeating: It really has to be seen to be believed.
What's the Deal? Hard time in the joint can change a person. Make them worse sometimes. And it would appear that this is Hilton's idea of revenge on a world she feels has done her wrong. If you listen carefully to the soundtrack, in fact, you can hear her screeching, backwards, like a demon, How dare they lock me up? I'll show them all! I'll make the most blindingly bad movie ever made! I'll dare all those hip people who ironically love bad movies to stare into the abyss! It'll scorch their eyes right out of their sockets! Their souls permanently damned to remember every brutality-filled second! I will triumph! I am legion! Expect me!
How You Know Paris Is Playing a Character That Has Nothing to Do With the Actual Paris Hilton: Her character maintains lifelong friendships and seems like she's almost nice. Until the moment comes when Hilton decides to ad-lib, like in the scene where she shouts at a guy who has the nerve to hit on her in a bar, "PAY MY BAR TAB, BITCH!"
Some People Might Think of This as a Spoiler, But I Consider It Just a Friendly Warning: She's not brutally murdered like she was in House of Wax. So now you won't feel quite so cheated.
Opinions are like... well, everyone's got one. We know you do too, so share it below.

Truth; Stories from the West Side is a rollercoaster of very well executed emotions, snapshot of life in the western suburbs without any manipulation, satire or parody. It is a play presented at the Riverside Theatre, Parramatta by Actors Centre Australia showing from the 22nd of November through until the 1st of December. Performed by a cast of strong and powerful actors who perform their roles with integrity and justice, the dialogue is taken from actual interviews, the inflections, diction and intonation lifted directly from a factual interview. Yet, the production rings true as a play, rather than a documentary. Each person on stage has a separate and equally significant story to tell but the cleverness I'd like to draw your attention to is in the seamless editing of the tales to form the script for a play. The actors portray raw and powerful performances, each with a genuine authenticity and together, their stories weave fluidly together to present a holistic play- the truth of the western suburbs. Not only do we respect the actors for their performance and the interviewees for their stories, but through the play as a text we learn to love the characters.
Some of the material is very raw and evidently quite painful to the interviewees and the actors handle this well by employing well placed silences throughout, captivating our attention successfully, with the aid of humour and colloquial language. While this is the case, the show is not at all taxing on our emotions, (as the audience). Due to the chopped and edited nature of the show, each experience is credited its due time and attention. For example, we are shown how deep a character's sadness or pain is, then we a cut very quickly to another experience, or even some comic relief. This doesn't at all degrade from the intensity of the initial experience rather, through perfect timing, shifts the focus of the play from their unique experience, to the fact that their unique experience is part of a whole Australian culture. Some of the content may be considered offensive as the characters expose their existence in the fabric of their locality and at times I was worried the show may borderline mockery/satire. But it never did. Each actor brought an air of sophistication and a professional integrity that lifted the performance and gave me respect for the proud, optimistic and uncensored stories.
On a production note, the mis en scene and lighting was minimalist and quite fantastic, our focus was drawn to the stories and the way they weaved together to create a diverse yet communal western suburbs experience. We are left loving the characters because of their self-reflexivity and ability to show humility. We learn to respect them because each character had a certain vulnerability and an emotion that motivated and drove them, shaped their being. Ultimately there was a positivity and a flair that when weaved together, produced a heart-warming tale of survival in the western suburbs. The characters are endearing and they hold sadness and bitterness but they carry on. This performance is insightful and well worth a look at the glimpse of diversity, culture and experience.

text: We had our opening party at the Zixag Commune on Saturday- it was great to see some of you there. Favourite part of the day was the audience's sigh of relief when I switched from English back into Canto for the presentation :D (Kent's idea to start off in English). Other highlights include HK trail running legend KK Chan buying a Melanie Messenger bag- now Handsome will be all the rage on the mountains. Also had a good conversation with Luisa Mok re what constitutes environmentally friendly design. Thanks to Jeff and Kit for helping to get everything together and to Jess, Athena, Yat, Davey, Eudora, Joey, Keting and Andey for coming to support. Big thanks to Julian, TC and Kent for making this possible- we're really going to enjoy our time working here.

Guards guide Seton Hall, No. 23 Marquette into Big East semis
A pair of stellar junior guards will be on display Friday in the Big East tournament semifinal between No. 23 Marquette and Seton Hall.
The second-seeded Golden Eagles boast Big East Player of the Year Markus Howard, while the third-seeded Pirates have Myles Powell, whose scoring average of 22.9 points per game ranks second in the league behind only Howard (25.1).
Make no mistake, both teams will be aiming to stop the other side's standout when tipoff arrives at Madison Square Garden in New York.
To be sure, both Howard and Powell are accustomed to it.
"Markus is Big East Player of the Year for a reason, and it's not just because he can score," Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski said. "You're talking about a complete player who every team's game plan is geared to stop him. What he's been able to do this year is fantastic.
"It's hard when you command that much attention from a defense to make a great decision every time, especially when the ball is in your hand a lot, but he's done that more times than not. I mean, the vast majority of the time, or else he wouldn't be Big East Player of the Year."
Powell had the upper hand on Howard by the slimmest of margins Thursday in the teams' quarterfinal games. Erupting for a Big East tournament-record 29 points in the first half, Powell scored 31 points to lift the Pirates (19-12) to a 73-57 victory against Georgetown.
The Golden Eagles (24-8) cruised to an 86-54 win against St. John's behind 30 points from Howard, who overcame persistent defense from the Red Storm by remaining confident in himself and his teammates.
"They definitely used their length and athleticism to their advantage," Howard said of the Red Storm. "They would speed me up a lot, and kind of what was the difference tonight was, given my teammates, they really stepped up big in terms of taking control of the game from the early start. Once they were able to do that, it kind of opened things up for me."
Powell shot 10-for-14 in the first half against Georgetown, including 4-for-7 from 3-point range, and he was 5-for-7 from the free-throw line. He left the game with an apparent ankle injury with 3:31 remaining but was moving under his own power and said he was certain he would play against Marquette.
"I'm going to be back," Powell said. "I'm going to be ready. We got a great Marquette team coming up, and we want to get back to the hotel, ice up and get ready."
The Pirates split the regular season series with the Golden Eagles, taking a four-point road loss on Jan. 12 before stunning Marquette with a 73-64 home victory on March 6. Seton Hall ended the latter game on an 18-0 run.
Powell scored 10 of his game-high 34 points during the final surge, but he stressed that everything will reset when the teams meet again on Friday.
"It's March," Powell said. "Anything can happen. That's this time of year."

Application Procedures
Anyone considering admission to the Seminary should formally apply as early as possible, but no later than the second week of July. Applications received within two months prior to intended enrollment will be assessed a late fee and are not guaranteed to be considered by the Dean of Admissions in time for desired enrollment. To apply for admission in the Master of Divinity program applicants must complete the following:
Obtain an application packet from the Seminary or website.
Distribute reference forms to be completed and mailed directly to the Registrar's Office.
Arrange for official transcripts from undergraduate and/or previous graduate school (even if no program was completed) to be sent directly from the institution to the Registrar's Office.
Return the completed application to the Registrar's Office along with the Application Fee of $25 (non-refundable), a recent passport type photograph, and all required attachments.
Late or Incomplete Applications
Applications with all application components received within two months of desired enrollment are assessed an Expedited Application Fee ($50). Applicants who enroll without all application components must communicate directly with the Registrar. In these cases, all remaining components must be received by the last day of registration for the quarter. If the application remains incomplete after two terms, the applicant will not be permitted to enroll in any subsequent term until the application is completed.
Transfer of Credit From Another Graduate Institution
Students who wish to transfer previously earned credits from another graduate institution must submit an official transcript and a catalog from the previous institution, preferably with their application, to the Registrar's Office. In cases where the course work is partially parallel, the Academic Dean may allow partial class attendance and/or assign research projects or reading to fulfill the Cornerstone course requirements. The Academic Dean will make final determination regarding acceptance of transfer credits. All courses for which credit or partial credit is granted will be shown on The Cornerstone Seminary's official transcript with no record of grades. Determination of transfer credit should be completed by the end of the first quarter after initial enrollment. Students transferring credit into the Master of Divinity program must complete the final 32 units at Cornerstone.
Portfolio Assessment
Portfolio Assessment is a rare process whereby an exceptional enrolled student may petition to receive credit for their mastery of a particular subject area in lieu of taking the required course listed in the catalog. The specific requirements and procedures for portfolio assessment are delineated in the Student Handbook which may be obtained from the office of the Academic Dean. There is an Assessment Processing Fee of $150.
Policy of Nondiscrimination
The Cornerstone Seminary admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, and physical handicap to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students. The Cornerstone Seminary does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, or physical handicap in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, or other seminary-administered programs. Admission to all degree programs is limited to men. This admission policy derives from The Cornerstone Seminary's commitment to operate according to the Holy Scriptures and the Seminary's stated purpose: to prepare men for the pastoral ministry.
Special Needs
Students requiring special attention, including seating arrangements, alternative forms of testing, or other educational or personal needs, must provide to the Registrar documentation of professional evaluation of the disability, date of said evaluation, and specifications of assistance required. Such documentation must be provided upon application for admission unless the need for special attention is discovered thereafter. In the latter case, written notification to the Registrar must occur no later than 15 days after the date of evaluation.

Why #JogaPraElas?
By Larissa Brainer, translated from Portuguese by Andrew Carten.
"Jogamos pra elas." "We play for them" because someday, somewhere, somebody said "no" to a girl who wanted to play in a pickup game. Because when teams are selected there's a girl who doesn't have a chance or is the last one chosen. Because there are some communities, neighborhoods, and schools where girls aren't even considered when it comes to playing on the field. Because we know so little about the history of female soccer, past, and present. Because there are some places like Zanzibar, where many women are judged "immoral" for playing the game. Because there are people who say "soccer is not a woman thing". Because at any moment the right to play and have fun with soccer was (or is) denied to girls and women.
Women like Aline Pellegrino, born with a love of the game and determined to see her dream come true as a professional player. Like Abby Wambach, the US National Team player, who after winning the World Cup, expressed her happiness and broke protocol by kissing her wife in celebration - #lovewins! Like the girls from San Antonio Palopó who had never played a game of soccer in their lives. Like Irene and Teresa who play ball with no regard to rules nor instruction, and make us hope that no one will never take that from them, whether in actions and or words. Like Annika and Sierra who showed their bravery in #GameFaces. Or like Yasmin, who with other teammates, made history taking part in the first female soccer match at the Arena Pernambuco.
All of them are girls who went (and are going) to the front with their passion to play. These are the stories that inspire and are a part of the #JogaPraElas campaign. They show us how the relationship with a ball can be important, empowering and transformative for girls too, despite it still being taken for granted in some places and situations.
#JogaPraElas was for the national teams' players of the 2015 Women's World Cup. So they could play thinking about all these girls, about the girls they themselves were in the past, about the girls they inspire and will inspire in the future.
The World Cup has come to an end, but #JogaPraElas is going to continue. While there are warriors inside the four lines of the field, we will be rooting for them and continuing our job to raise awareness of the issues that remain both on and off it.
Larissa is a Brazilian journalist, member of #lovefutbol since 2014 and coordinated the #JogaPraElas campaign.
#JogaPraElas is a social campaign launched by love.fútbol Brasil to shine a light on the women's game during the recent Women's World Cup in Canada in promoting gender equality and inclusion in the sport of soccer. By raising awareness of the issues that surround the game as it pertains to girls, love.fútbol hopes to inspire people to stand up for the other half in the world in their pursuit of play and free expression.

text: being new to this game please forgive th edeluge of questions but here is another. Booking up campsites in advance ensure availability, however it's restrictive in so much as I am unsure how far I can go on any one day. I may have more or less energy in my legs, be more or less motivated, find something intersting to visit and get delayed etc etc.. Calling up the night before to a site ahead seems to be an answer...but then what if they are all full this august? I'd like to be able to book but not pay until I arrive but most sites are not into that. I know there is no perfect answer, but i was just wondering what you chaps do?
