Any business can increase profits through good Internet promotion strategies. The largest benefit of Internet marketing is that it gives you access to a worldwide audience to draw customers from. However, you must learn the ins and outs of marketing to all sorts of customers on the web. Use this article to find some tips.
If you are interested in having others link to your website, create a link that is readily available to them on your site. Those who enjoy your site can link their site to yours.
Consider using short term promotions as a means to improve your PageRank. If the deal is good enough, you can "buy" PageRank because consumer news and deals sites will link to yours. This is just like making a sale on a loss leader product.
While a few bells and whistles can enhance your site, avoid making it too busy or distracting. Instead of whiz-bang tricks, concentrate your effort on honing your message. The general rule is that you have just 5-10 seconds to capture the attention of a new visitor to your site and convince them to take a longer look. If you can't accomplish this, chances are they'll leave your website to find a better one.
Ultimately, internet promotion is about recognizing a problem and fixing it. If you know how to start your business you will be better off. You will want your customers to tell people about you through word of mouth, help them and they will do this.
You need to create a great site before worrying about getting it ranked. This is a crucial initial step for any online company. Making your site look good and operate well from the beginning means less work as time goes on to re-do or fix mistakes.
Always keep a track of what your competition is doing and see if you can boost your own sales from using, or modifying, some of their tactics. If you could see yourself purchasing something from them, then you can guarantee that they are doing the right thing. Look for ways that you can use their ideas into your own unique strategy.
If you have images on your website, be sure to include captions. Captions play a big role with regards to SEO. Your site's pages will rise more quickly in the search engine results when your images include strong, relevant captions.
Make sure your customer can easily find a page on your website that accurately presents content about your product or service before they buy. This helps them feel a bit more informed prior to purchasing anything. It will come across to your customers that you are not just trying to make money, but that you actually want them to have the best product to meet their needs.
When designing your website use Flash and AJAX, sparingly. It might be attractive on your site, but the search engine is not going to rank you this way. Use it sparingly and include keywords and relevant links on the same page.
Split Tests
Do you have a company slogan or a statement of purpose? If so, list it in a prominent place on your website. This gives a professional and official look to your website and gives your audience a clear idea of what you're all about. This will allow you to highlight your products and services.
You will need to attract people to make money. Split tests are a great way to find out how your website is doing. Split tests work by showing one group a version of a website, and then showing a second group a different version. Make your decision based on which version resulted in attracting the most subscribers.
If you want your customers to trust you, back up any claims with actual proof. For instance, if you say your product works great, people may or may not believe you. However, if you make a video showing how effective the product functions, you will be far more convincing. This is a good example of why it's a good idea to only sell products you use yourself.
Knowing what your competitors are up to is a vital part of online marketing. Every business has its competitors, and you need to be aware of yours.
Coupons are a great way to entice your customers. Many customers jump at the chance to use a coupon to buy something they needed or wanted anyway.
Try using captions with your images. The text in these descriptions should include keywords that are relevant to your site in order to increase your search engine results. Good captions can help to improve your rank.
It is most important that your customers trust you and that you maintain their trust. Never include faulty or weak claims in your marketing promotions; always be able to back up your content with facts. Present client testimonials, test results, and expert endorsements that could be proven if needed.
Be sure to provide a customer feedback section, which you can manage carefully. Customer testimonials and honest ratings help future prospects choose your products or services because you are allowing word of mouth advertising.
Blogging will increase the traffic to your website. The key is to ensure that you use timely, relevant, updated content. If you provide new, up-to-date content, people will visit your site more often.
Most cell phone providers offer the option of adding a dedicated work number to your existing mobile device. Make certain that you get yourself a number.
Reward frequent customers. Your business will earn an excellent reputation, and you will be more likely to keep your customers coming back over the long haul. People are generally more than happy to share their great experiences with others, and this can really pay off for you.
It is always important to research various competitors if your internet enterprise is to succeed. Look at websites of other businesses in your chosen field, and see what can be improved. You want to create good competition so find out what other sites aren't doing on their sites and add it to yours.
Direct a certain percentage of profits to a charity. Let your customers know that you do this. You also won't need to give away a lot of your profits. Just make sure that you're doing your part and people will ultimately respond in a positive fashion.
Utilize web tools to make your page more interesting and organized. Emphasize a word by bolding or italicizing it. This can help you determine how you wish your customers to receive a specific type of message. This also makes the message more clear.
Make your site accessible to people in many different countries. Try to create many variations of the same site in different languages. This can get you some serious traffic and many more customers globally. Customers will be far more likely to purchase your products and services if you offer the information in their own languages.
Make sure that your website is in a good format that makes its links more easily seen. If visitors can navigate your site easily, then they are more likely to visit several pages of it.
Try to make people on your mailing list feel as though they are getting a thoughtful, personal email from you. Your customers and prospective customers are tired of receiving impersonal, bulk e-mails. Are you sick and tired of getting spam email all the time? A well-crafted and personalized message will be far more effective and really put you head and shoulders above your competitors.
Remember to put samples or coupons in with every order you send to a customer, but make sure the promotional items are relevant to their interests. Clients really appreciate these types of coupons and often become repeat customers.
It's common knowledge that power is highly respected in business. Let them know you're the boss and this will add a lot of credibility when selling a product. You have every right to identify yourself as the president or CEO of your firm.
When creating advertisements for your products and services, include descriptive text that emphasizes how quickly buyers will be satisfied. Emphasize the speed and ease of use of your company to grow your business. This can translate to speedy downloads, a fast and secure checkout process or quick confirmations for orders placed online.
Consider using the words "easy" and "simple" in your Internet marketing. The addition of these direct keywords can make it seem that following your process is not hard to do. That is a simple way to boost business.
An important tip regarding Internet promotion is to give rewards to those that either frequent your site often or purchase from you often. It is helpful in customer retention, and the appearance of generosity is positive for your company. This is they type of business practice that will drum up chatter about you.
Make certain your customers are aware that you have an ordering system on your website that is totally secure. Let people know that you won't share their contact information with anyone to make them feel more secure about trusting you with their email address.
Try offering to put a portion of every purchase toward a relevant charity if that is something that will appeal to your audience. You need to make a point to note this on your site so your customers feel they are contributing. You needn't have to give a huge portion of your profits in order for this gesture to impress your audience.
A well designed and thought out website is an essential part of any Internet marketing project. Try different fonts and color schemes before deciding on what works best. Just keep in mind that you want your website to appeal to a person's eye so they do want stay longer on your site.
It helps to put user polls on the side of any content that you have on your site to see how users feel about it. This fills your website with engaging content that makes readers feel welcome.
A good website with valuable content is the key to successful internet marketing. Test your site regularly; make sure you fix any broken images, bad links or site glitches that may appear. If your website is not user-friendly, your users won't stay around long enough to buy your wares.
Create unique banner ads, and do not make them look like other banners. An exciting or interesting banner ad will attract more attention and inspire more clicks.
To really get sales flowing, you need to contact leads in real time. Real-time leads are great because they give you access to a potential customer right away who has been seeking information on your products. Once they fill out the information form, you have instant access to their information.
A good marketing tool is to offer a free gift or some other incentive to your customers after they make a purchase, as a way of saying thanks. Pampering customers is just as effective online as it is in brick and mortar stores.
Try giving people another reason to visit your site other than for your business. This will keep customers coming back, rather than visiting once and leaving immediately. People will remember the interaction, and come back for more again and again. Let other people use your graphics on their sites as it is free marketing for you.
One way to draw new visitors to your site is offering a free online course. This strategy can be very effective, and you might consider packaging your course with a relevant product that the customers feel enticed to purchase. Formulate a new ad campaign around the availability of the course and its many benefits to your customers.
Use limited-time incentives. That could be free shipping for the first hundred people who place an order or free gift wrapping for customers who order before a certain time. Set a clear deadline so that people will feel compelled to order quickly.
As you can see, there are many techniques you can use to get the most out of your internet-based business. Next, you should try them to see how well they work. You will see that some tips might need to be tweaked in order to fit your approach. What matters is that you are always learning and always eager to try something new.
"Limited" should be written into the content of your ad. Shopping online has become popular due to the fact it gives people more variety options; it's also just more convenient. They want something unique and different. When the item is limited, people want to get it before it finishes.

FP7 funding
FP7: Funding Available to Cover Open Access Costs for Post-Grant Publications
The European Commission has made EUR 4 million of funding available to cover the cost of open access publications arising from FP7 projects after the project has ended.
The main goals of the FP7 post-grant Gold Open Access Pilot are:
· to make it easier for researchers to access funding for open access publication;
· to define workflows for the processing of research outputs released via the Gold Open Access route, including guidelines for Article Processing Charge (APC) management;
· to align these with emerging national and institutional mechanisms.
The pilot constitutes an additional instrument for making FP7 project research results Open Access, but does not affect authors' freedom to choose which way their project publications should be made Open Access. It will cover Article Processing Charges for a maximum of three publications per FP7 project up to two years after the project has ended. Funded publications must be peer-reviewed, and should be deposited into an OpenAIRE-compliant repository. Monographs will be eligible for the pilot, as will publications relating to ERC and Marie Curie projects.
The pilot is part of the EU-funded OpenAIRE2020 project, which has released pilot policy guidelines and an FAQ page.
The pilot is set to run until the funding is exhausted, but for no longer than two years (until the end of April 2017).

Parent-Proof Nepal
My Mum is visiting me in Nepal at the moment. Yes, that is correct, right in the middle of an indefinite Maoist strike. After her visit was delayed by 10 days because of volcanic ash.
Here is my Mum having a tea-stop in Freak Street after we had been for a walk round Hanuman Dhoka (before the strike began). I'm not sure if this was the best place to take her. The man in the pink t-shirt sitting behind her was narrating to his hippy friends the story of how his flatmate in Dharamsala had thrashed him over the head with a violin in a drug-fueled rage after he had interrupted his early-morning violin practice. You can see the black eye if you look carefully. Mum said 'I do hope your friends here aren't like that'.
This is my Mum hanging out with sadhus in the Durbar Square. Had to be done.
We then decamped to Pokhara and went to Sadhana Yoga Centre, which is just outside town, for a three day Hatha yoga course. It was, for the most part, a fantastic experience and I thoroughly recommend. I feel stretched, detoxed and generally dandy. I have to say that getting up at 5:30 am and having a lota full of salt water stuck up my nose (a practice I was not familiar with, but apparently popular in this part of the world for 'nasal cleansing') is not what I expected to be doing on holiday but I was prepared to give the Sadhana family the benefit of the doubt that this actually is good for you. On our first morning we had a mud-bath and sat on the flat roof in the sun to 'bake' until the red Nepali mud turned us the colour of Essex girls in Ibiza.
Mum has been a great sport throughout and has been enthusiastic to learn about the culture, religion, food and, yes, the politics of Nepal. My adoptive country is a tough place to travel if you're not used to how things work here (hell, even if you are used to how things work here) so much kudos to her for keeping an open mind and appreciating all the weird and wonderful things Nepal has to offer.

if she can be in good spirits during a nepal banda she'll be fine..or maybe not…has she gone through loadshedding, the pollution and traffic yet??? bring the banda back??

There are many preventable conditions that can cause illness in seniors who are not vaccinated. In fact, it is estimated that about 45,000 older adults die every year from complications caused by conditions that can be prevented with vaccination. At Home Care Assistance of Summit, NJ, the health of our clients is our highest priority. To preserve health and longevity, seniors may want to consider the following vaccinations, proven to be safe and effective by the Centers fro Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Flu Vaccine – Flu vaccinations are recommended for older adults once a year. While flu is usually mild in children, young adults, and middle-aged adults, it can be life-threatening for seniors who often have weakened immune systems.
- Pneumococcal Disease – This serious infection is a form of pneumonia that attacks the lungs and other parts of the body. The CDC recommends that seniors get this vaccine, which may be given safely along with a flu shot. In most cases, only one shot is advised.
- Tdap Booster – This single-dose booster vaccine was approved for use in seniors after rigorous safety testing. This is the first vaccine to prevent diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, and is safe and effective with uncommon side effects that are usually very minor.
- Chickenpox Vaccine – While mild in children, chickenpox can threaten an older adult's health and can even cause death in serious cases. Doctors may also recommend the shingles vaccine which protects against a painful rash, which is also caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.
- Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine – These diseases were once very common in the U.S., but they have since become rare due to the use of vaccines. Seniors who are unsure if they received this vaccination are encouraged to get the vaccination again as a second vaccine is not harmful to those who are already immune.
The above vaccinations have been tested for safety among older adults and found to protect seniors from potentially life-threatening conditions and their more serious complications. To learn more about senior health and wellness, reach out to Home Care Assistance of Summit. We are a premier provider of hourly and live-in care in Summit and promote total health with our Balanced Care Method. Call us at 908.450.9400 to learn more or to request a complimentary, no-obligation consultation.

Laptops can make your life simpler. There are many things you should know to find the best one for you. There are some useful tips below that can help you get the best deal on your laptop.
Don't purchase a laptop with the software pre-installed. Preloaded software can be more expensive, whereas buying it separately and installing it yourself is usually much cheaper. It's better to purchase this software separately from a discount online vendor. You will typically save a third off the retail price, sometimes even much more.
If you only play games casually, you don't need a gaming computer. Most games perform acceptably on a middle-of-the-road machine. Most laptops are not used much for gaming. Don't spend money if you don't have to. Save on this expense.
Before purchasing a laptop, consider the type of work you will be doing on it. That will affect how much you spend. For example, a graphic designer will need a higher pixel resolution than someone who only uses the computer to surf the net. Once you assess what you plan to do with the laptop, you will have a better feel for what you should spend.
Search for online discounts before buying a laptop. There could be none out there, but you should still search for them. You don't want to pay full price and then find out that there was a discount you could have used.
When you purchase a laptop, get a cooler for it as well. The battery compartment of your laptop can get very warm. If you want comfy legs, then be sure to obtain something that will help displace the heat generated by the laptop.
You should test drive any laptop that you plan on buying. People often think more about battery life and memory functions than ergonomics when buying a laptop. However, it can be uncomfortable and cause bodily damage if a laptop has bad ergonomics. Be sure about a laptop's ergonomics before you buy it.
Buy a laptop that has the capability of upgrading the hard drive and RAM. You may not need the memory now, but you might in the future. Upgrading is usually cheaper than purchasing a whole new laptop. Consider this before making your final decision about a purchase.
Check battery life when looking for your new laptop. Regardless of how you plan to use your computer, you don't want to recharge it constantly. Between four and five hours is good for battery life, especially if you're going to take it on the road.
You may want to insure your laptop since it will be subject to damage and theft if you carry it around with you. This can save you money if it gets damaged. Make sure you read about the coverage details before buying.
Don't limit yourself when it comes to which laptop you choose; both Windows and Mac computers may be a good fit. The Windows laptop will usually be less expensive, but there are many folks who simply prefer to own a Mac. Try both of them out at the store. Read consumer reviews before making your final decision.
The LCD display on a laptop will use up a lot of energy. But you can lessen the battery drain by lessening the brightness of the display. If you keep your laptop display dim, your battery is sure to last longer.
Usb Ports
Consider getting a laptop that is refurbished. It may be well-priced, and there is little risk if there is a warranty included. You can get the fastest, best models for the price of much cheaper ones.
Count the number of USB ports. This feature is usually overlooked. You might need to connect things simultaneously that require a USB port, such as mouse, memory card, etc. At a minimum, any laptop you are considering should have four USB ports.
Most big brands of laptops have similar scores for reliability and service. Make sure you see what people have to say about the different major brands. You should look at the specs more than the brand. Laptops are practically a commodity product these days.
Don't forget to include any accessories you need in your laptop budget. For example, you may need a backpack or computer case, a wireless mouse and any number of other accessories. You'll want to have money set aside for that. Use the Internet to research good models for accessories, as well as prices, and then budget accordingly.
Consider what programs are on the laptop. Most likely you will need a word processor as well as spreadsheet producing software. When checking to see if your computer comes with this software, you should also find out if it's a trial or demo version. If these are not included on your laptop, it will cost you to have them added.
Conduct an honest assessment of how you plan to use a laptop. One example would include bringing it into your kitchen while cooking so that you can display a recipe. If you are, you need to get a waterproof skin! Prioritize your list of features based on which ones you will use most often.
If you are concerned about buying a laptop because you are frequently in areas where your computer may be accessed without your permission, you should buy one that has an extra security layer. There are laptops these days that use facial recognition and fingerprints to log on, so this will not be an issue.
If you will be lugging your laptop to and from work, school, the office, and/or home, you want to be careful how you are carrying it. Get a bag that's sturdy and firm so you're not swinging it around and hitting yourself with it when you're walking. Otherwise, your laptop may become damaged.
Once you have a shortlist, read online reviews about each type of laptop you are considering purchasing. Using the model number, perform searches that include keywords like "issue" and "problem". This will help you find out if there is a common problem with the machine.
The LCD display drains the battery on your laptop. If you wish to have your battery last a long time, you should use your laptop on a low brightness setting. Alter your laptop's dimming display in order to give your battery more life than ever before.
Portability is something you should think about when getting your laptop. However, increased portability sometimes comes at a price. Your smaller laptop may not have many ports, the largest hard drive or the fastest processor. Have a list of your needs and be sure that you get what you need when choosing a laptop.
If you're considering purchasing a laptop, make sure that you know what you'll primarily use it for. Some computers are built for gaming, while others are more appropriate for work. Whatever you will be doing with yours, look for a type geared toward that, with as many extra features as the manufacturer can get in while still satisfying that purpose.
Look at different brands. Many people are familiar with the popular laptop brands. Go over all the different laptop brands to figure out the best one for you. Lesser known brands can often be just as good.
Extended Warranty
Keep an eye on your laptop as you go through airport security. A lot of laptop bags are out there; so someone may accidentally or purposely pick up your laptop. Make sure you watch yours as it travels makes its way to the end of the conveyor belt.
Consider getting an extended warranty on your laptop. Computer repair is not something that usually comes cheap, and of course having to purchase another one is even more money. You could save yourself money in the long run when you get an extended warranty.
Always plug your laptop in when you have the option. Even though convenience is one of the reasons you made the purchase, you shouldn't use the battery unless it is needed. The more often you use it while plugged in, the longer your battery will last.
Think about a customized laptop. It is quite easy to purchase a laptop without considering that your needs may change. The issue lies with getting the price right and determining your needs. Those laptops that are customized tend to cost less than those that are pre-set. This helps you to not pay for high-level hardware that you might not need.
Think about the other gadgets that you already own. Do you have Apple TV and an iPhone? It would be a better value to buy a Mac that syncs well with them. Conversely, a PC is great if you own Android and Microsoft devices. You may have syncing options between the devices.
Test out your laptop after buying it. Usually a laptop comes with a 30-day warranty. Most problems that creep up will happen rather quickly. If you don't use the system for the first two weeks, you may catch a flaw late. This is when you have to figure out if the laptop works with the needs you had in mind.
If your laptop is ordered online, be sure to keep any box it was shipped in. You can use the same box if you need to ship your computer. It's also good for traveling if you plan on carrying a lot at once.
Shut down your laptop when you are finished with it. Laptop computers are able to overheat really easily, and this is especially true if you put them down on a surface that's soft. These things can be avoided if you just shut the thing off when it's not in use.
Carry your laptop in an inconspicuous bag. Plain, nondescript bags, diaper bags or an old briefcase are good for disguising the contents.
Check to see what software is preinstalled on the computer. Word processing and spreadsheet software are usually necessary. Check if the software is a partial, demonstration, or full version. You'll need all these programs so if they are missing, you will be spending more money in order to purchase them separately.
Understand what the different specs mean on a laptop. If you will want to be able to enjoy new games, you will need to get a fast processor as well as a video card. If you just wish to type documents or surf online, you can buy something with less that's cheaper.
If you are considering buying a laptop, check the Sunday paper. You'll see lots of good coupons for laptops for sale on Sundays. You could find a coupon or a deal that could save you lots.
One important consideration is whether or not the keyboard feels comfortable. Laptop keys tend to sit closer together than those on a PC. This can take a while to get accustomed to, especially if you're somebody who types a lot. Go from laptop to laptop when you're at the store to find one that fits you well.
If you are planning to buy a new laptop computer from a retail location, be wary of add-on style warranties. The store makes money from these, but they aren't worth the cost. Any problems you will experience with your laptop are bound to happen within the manufacturer's warranty period. If you would feel more comfortable with a warranty that covers a long time period, you're better off buying from a merchant who already offers longer warranties with the item's purchase price.
Use Ram to speed things up. One of the cheapest ways to gain more speed is to up the RAM in your laptop. If your laptop is running Windows 8, you should try to get 4 GB of RAM or more.
You probably already understand how having a laptop can make your life easier. However, you can't just go choose any old laptop. That is why it is necessary to do a lot of research, and to gain useful information about these machines. Using the information shared here will help you make the right laptop choice.
Don't buy laptops anonymously online. It can be difficult to file a claim against or get a refund from an anonymous source. You will have to wait quite a long time to get a refund. Purchase in person for best results.

A pastor aiming to communicate a 'serious message of acceptance' to his congregation, posed as a tramp in his own church doorway.
Derek Rigby wore a wig, some 'dirtied-up' charity shop clothes, and surrounded himself with cans of lager and syringes outside Trinity Methodist Church in Prestatyn, North Wales.
He was largely ignored by his church membership as they arrived on Sunday morning, 'apart from a few who told me to get away from their cars,' he told BBC News. When he revealed his identity, 'some were very embarrassed,' Mr Rigby said. 'Nobody was angry with me, but they were shocked they had ignored me in the way they had.'
See the BBC news article for more info and a short video.
Mm I wonder how it would work for me. I think if I tried it at our church I would be surounded by people asking me in and offering me coffee. We used to have people like that attending our church quite often when we met in our city centre building, so I think they would cope well. I can not imagine though, that I could disguise myself so well that I would not be recognised.

My experience as a composing digital media student and advice to future students.
Author Archives: katiedrinkstea
Has anyone had their .wav or .mp3 files open in Audacity totally garbled? Like alien-speak? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Ripping my hair out,
Make your voice sound like a newscaster!
Hello friends! I hope you are all having fun or reading a good book this temperate Friday evening. I am working from my bed with a bellyache. That gobblerito from Mad Mex was kinda worth it though.
This audacity trick may be more helpful for those of us working on an audio project more related to a recovery story or the past. You can feign your own historical news broadcasts by making a few simple adjustments to your voice recording.
I read and recorded a paragraph from a CNN news article about Toronto's crack-smoking Mayor Rob Ford to try out this effect. The dude is crazy!
1) Okay so first you want to record your audio in audacity. At the top toolbar on audacity, click "Effect" and then select "Equalization"
2) A window for the Equalization controls will pop up. Set your top slider to 30 dB.
3) Go back to "Effects" and select "Low Pass Filter" (you'll need to scroll in the Effects menu to find it. It is toward the bottom)
4) In the Low Pass Filter effects window, set the Rolloff to 12 dB and Cuttoff Frequency to 2000. You may want to play with the Cuttoff frequency a bit to find the sweet spot. Everyone's voice is different. I think mine is naturally a bit lower and 2000 worked well for me. To me, this effect makes the recording sound like a news broadcast being heard through an old t.v. I'm sure if I recorded in a more "new-anchory" voice, it would sound even better.
There you have it! Fake your own vintage news broadcasts in a snap!
Happy weekend. Happy homeworking?
'Who Am I?' An unanswered question, but intriguing listen
Whoops, posted to my individual blog instead of the class blog? Here it goes:
My notes from this radio show are scribbled on post-its and a bit messy. I feel that may be reflected in this blog post.
So many different stories were jam packed into 56 minutes of Radiolab's "Who Am I?" episode. As a listener, I appreciated the inclusion of many different elements and takes on the overarching question. My attention was kept as the segment shifted between different stories and narrators.
The segment began with Stephen Johnson describing an experiencing he had while his brain was monitored in a laboratory. As a listener, I was brought into that experience with him through hearing hospital monitor beeps, and an eerie, ambient noise layer with Johnson's speaking. Following that, I experienced the sound of neuron's firing, and it was discussed that mental life is what makes you, YOU. So essentially, the firing of neuron's "little specs of gel" are responsible for this.
The "self-effect" (seeing oneself morphed with another object) was explained through morphing a photograph of Bill Clinton with speaker Julian Keenan. Julian would see himself in the photograph, whereas anyone else would see Bill Clinton. This point was aurally demonstrated by morphing Radiolab co-host Robert's voice with Bill Clinton's famous "I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman" quote. I felt this technique was both effective and humorous.
The segment shifted into a piece by Hannah Palin called "The Day my Mother's Head Exploded" which as an intriguing story about a woman who suffered a brain aneurism and had a total personality shift as a result. The story is told by both Hannah Palin (daughter) and Nicki Plain (mother). Nicki begins by saying that she woke up one day with a horrible headache. She did what she would normally do and went to an aerobics class (fun, cheesy 80s workout music plays in background). The story goes on…her headache worsens…someone calls 911 in Nicki's aerobics class. This is the last thing Nicki remembers for 4 months. Transition to Hannah's voice talking about visiting her mother in the hospital (accompanied by hospital beeps). Hannah says that was the day that her mom died and a new mom replaced her. When Nicki is finally out of a coma, her personality has completely shifted. She is aware of past lives, talking about how she is/was a little man in Vietnam who grew vegetables (twangy, somewhat blusey guitar accompanies more reflective moments such as this). More is described about Nicki's new personality, like that fact that she loves to sing, but hadn't before the aneurism. Fun clips of Nicki singing about loving Wendy's fast food and other clips of Nicki and Hannah signing together were added throughout.
Skipping ahead to a later, prominent part of the segment (for me as a listener), is the story about Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson fully believed that little people visited him in his dreams and told him amazing stories that would become his stories. From this, the question of authorship arises. Are these little people part of Stevenson, or are they separate? One of the stories which was told to Stevenson by the little people is acted out. This was so different from anything else in the segment and really stood out (as well as entertained me) as a listener. Dramatic voices tell the tale of a son who kills his father and ends up living with his father's widow. Birds singing, clanging, freaky piano, chaotic fiddle all contribute to the dramatic effect of the story.
General observations…Both Jad and Robert introduce and reintroduce themselves several times throughout the segment, especially when coming back from a break. They also introduce new speakers as they appear and typically repeat the speaker's name when their part of the segment is done, effectively "signing them off."
The music used was all instrumental. I noticed ambient sounding music, twangy guitar, bluesy guitar, manic fiddle, slow piano, old timey music etc, etc. All of the music made sense for the audio they were accompanying and enhanced rather than distracted from the story being told.
Overall, I was very entertained by this piece.
For my own work:
I definitely take note of the instrumental music, and realize that it can significantly alter the tone of the piece.
It is okay to mix my own voice in with the person I am interviewing, add my own opinions, anecdotes that relate, pose questions.
Adding many different perspectives and elements makes for a very interesting listen.
Embedding Videos to your site
This is a fairly simple yet crucial skill considering that we all will have to upload our projects from this course to our personal websites. Dreamweaver presents an easy way of adding video to your site by local source (meaning, you have the original video on your computer, you don't have to embed it via a link to vimeo). I apologize for the ugliness of the site in my example photos. I created the code/site for the purpose of this blog post. I will continue refining the page on my actual website.
Below is the code I typed. Note that I set the size dimensions I added for the video so that it wasn't taking up the whole page. You can alter these dimension according to your personal preference.
This code produces the following site:
So the video is there, but where are the controls?! How do I watch it? Don't worry, Dreamweaver has a simple solution:
Next to the size dimensions you have typed, add: controls"controls"> Dreamweaver will automatically apply the control bar to the bottom of your video, complete with play, pause, replay, volume control, and full screen option:
See? Super easy.
The video I added is in mp4 format. Some browsers (such as firefox) do not recognize mp4 video content. In this case, you will need to use a file converter to convert your mp4 video to and ogv (an Ogg file) and include both in the code. It's a little different.
I've been enjoying reading all of the awesome Dreamweaver posts from this blog so far. I'll definitely be consulting them in the future! Thanks everyone.
Happy Mischief Night
Crossing Your Photo with another Image's Color Scheme (amazing help from BuzzFeed!)
Hi class, I very new to the Photoshop software so I resorted to Google to find some fun tricks to share with all of you. I found a list of 21 fairly simple Photoshop 'hacks' on Buzzfeed (always fun)! The article describes the tips mentioned as easy enough for anyone with a "rudimentary" understanding of Photoshop. Many of us seem to be at this rudimentary level right now. I know we'll all have a better handle on the software in due time! Here is a link to the very helpful article: http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/incredibly-simple-photoshop-hacks-everyone-should-know
Some of these tips are for very closeup, glamorous photos (think cosmetic ad) that I'm not sure any of us will be working with something like that for our recovery projects.
One of the easiest yet coolest tips (in my opinion), was #5. This tip teaches Photoshop users how to cross one image with another image's color palate. The examples they give cross photographs with famous works of art with particularly beautiful or interesting color schemes.
The process of achieving this is a follows:
1) Open the image that you wish to extract the color scheme from (aka. artwork or another photo with great color)
2) Open the photo you wish to apply the color scheme to (likely an image from your recovery story portfolio)
3) Select Image>>Adjustments>>Match Color (and then select the photo you want to copy the color from)
4) OPTIONAL: Alter Luminance and Color Intensity if so desired
5) Click the OK button when you are happy with the color!
I think this tip can be helpful for not only apply color from works of art to our images. But say you work really had to manually perfect the color in one of your images, and want that color applied to other images without going through the painstaking alteration process again.,,I think this could be just the quick fix you need!
Hope this helps! I look forward to learning from all of you!
Bewitched Brother
Happy October, everyone!

Michigan Republican State Senator: Let Foster Kids Buy All Their Clothes in Thrift Shops
I'll be very interested to see in 2012 how the tone of what some Republicans are suggesting will play with independent voters. Here's the latest idea that a mainstream elected public official would never have dare voiced even two years ago:
Foster children in Michigan would use their state-funded clothing allowance only in thrift stores under a plan suggested by State Senator Bruce Caswell.
Caswell says he wants to make sure that state money set aside to buy clothes for foster children and kids of the working poor is actually used for that purpose.
He says they should get "gift cards" to be used only at Salvation Army, Goodwill or other thrift stores.
The post on Michigan Radio's blog includes this quote from the self-esteem blind state Senator:
"I never had anything new," Caswell says. "I got all the hand-me-downs. And my dad, he did a lot of shopping at the Salvation Army, and his comment was — and quite frankly it's true — once you're out of the store and you walk down the street, nobody knows where you bought your clothes.
And here's the kicker:
This will NOT save the state one cent of money.
In other words, it seems somewhere between a proposal based on ideology or a way to hammer into foster kids' heads that they are not the the same as other kids and that money from the state for clothes must be purchased in thrift shops so they know their real "place."
Instead of "let them eat cake" it's now "let them be required to go to thrift stores."
The questions thus become:
I will give you one indepedent voter's reaction: As someone who was a foster parent for a few years, I find this an utterly stunning proposal.

University of Twente's innovative Bachelor of Liberal Arts & Sciences is still open for applications from EU students. [Application Deadline: 15 August] This exciting programme, offered at the university's Academy of Technology and Liberal Arts & Sciences (ATLAS) combines Technology with Social Sciences . It offers an interdisciplinary programme for students, integrating social and technical perspectives into a 'new engineering' approach.ATLAS offers a unique approach to learning: the programme is project-driven and centered around real-world themes (Human Movement, Nano-Robotics, Tracers for Personal Safety, Smart 3D Printing, Alternatives for Renewable Energy or the feasibility of a Mars Space Station. More details of the programme here. English student Nick Gregory, currently studying on the programme, points to three key elements of the programme: "First of all, I liked the breadth. Other programmes more or less force you to commit yourself to a field you may not even be sure about yet. ATLAS offers a very broad perspective, while at the same time leaving room for specialising . The second attraction to me was the project-based educational method, in which you are constantly applying knowledge to real-world issues and situations. It's completely different from just sitting though lectures and passing your exams. The third point is the fact that ATLAS is not just knowledge-centred: because of the way things are done here, you get to develop other skills, such as leadership skills"
Above: U. Twente Student HousingAttractively, on-campus accommodation[ in one of the only campus universities in the Netherlands setting] is guaranteed for selected students. Tuition Fees for Liberal Arts programmes in the Netherlands are higher than the statutory tuition fee of EUR1906; fees are EUR3182 at ATLAS.

The Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries are the most proficient speakers of English globally, outside those countries where English is an official language, according to the EF Proficiency Index. Universities in these countries offer the highest numbers of degree programmes, at undergraduate and postgraduate level, that are taught through English. Economies are becoming more globalised, work more delocalised, and information more decentralised. A shared language is a necessary tool when communication is no longer tied to geography. English is that tool, now more than ever. Educational institutions, driven by the demands of society, are increasingly embracing English language learning, and English, as a language of learning.A high percentage of the students registered on the English-taught programmes in Continental Europe are non-native speakers of English, particularly students from the Netherlands, Germany and the Baltic states. UK and Irish students studying on programmes in the Netherlands and Scandinavia report that most students their age are fluent in English. The biggest foreign language challenge facing our students is to get an opportunity to practice their Dutch or Danish language skills. At the other end of the European proficiency rankings are France and Italy, which have low English language proficiency rankings. English and Irish students in these countries, and Spain, report that a TEFL qualification proves a useful investment before they travel to study on degree programmes there, as English-language teaching can provide a useful income supplement while they are studying.European English Language Proficiency Rankings

Groningen has scored the highest in Europe for educational facilities, health care services and public spaces, according to the results of a survey released by the European Commission in October.
Citizens of Groningen are so satisfied with their city that this northern student city ranks third in Europe for quality of life, just behind Aalborg and Hamburg. Furthermore, it received the highest satisfaction score regarding cleanliness, public spaces and the feeling of safety, leaving other popular Dutch cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam behind.
The vast majority of Groningen citizens surveyed agreed that the presence of foreigners is good for the city. Groningen also scored among the highest in Europe for green spaces, air quality and trust in fellow citizens.
British students and lecturers studying and working in Groningen share their thoughts on the results. Jonathan Hurry, Fine Arts student at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen (Hanze UAS), remarks, "it's a good city, a student city, there are lots of interesting things going on".
"In the summer months, I will often go to the park, with my dog, and paint from nature", says Gemma Nijdam (British), Honours College Coordinator and Lecturer at the International Business School of Hanze UAS. Referring to one of two parks the city has to offer.
The first impression that Hanze UAS student (International Communication) Jack Gowans, from Newcastle, had was that "the city looks beautiful", and he mentioned, "it reminded me a lot of older parts of towns I'd visited in England, like York".
Besides enjoying the classic atmosphere, Jack is very positive about the city's educational facilities. "One of my favourites is the library where you can rent your books online and collect them from the front desk, and access standard and high-performance computers for media work".
According to Hanze UAS student (International Business and Management Studies) Jack Lancaster, from Sheffield, not only the city's atmosphere and education facilities are good. "The (university) sports facilities are perfect for students and extremely cheap" he says. With unlimited access to the student sports centre – including a fitness club and pool – for less than €150 per year, it is definitely affordable to say the least.

As soon as i got my hands on the 'Mixed Bunch' stampset i HAD to have a go at creating butterflies from the stampset!!
I made this card for my good friend (and crafty partner in crime) Jade, as it is her birthday today!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADE!!
This is how i made the card:
I used the 'rock and roll' technique using 'Daffodil Delight' and 'Pumpkin Pie' ink to stamp three flowers from the 'Mixed Bunch' stampset and punched them out using the 'Blossom Punch'. I snipped two petals off of each one to create some butterflies and then placed three 'Basic Pearls' down the centre of each one to create the butterfly bodies!!
The cardbase is 'Pumpkin Pie' which i folded over the top and ran through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Stripes Embossing Folder'. I stamped the sentiment from the 'Happiest Birthday Wishes' set using 'Lucky Limeade' ink on the top of the cardbase, then wrapped some 'Lucky Limeade' 'Ruffled Ribbon' around the base and tied a bow and then glued the three butterflies in place!!
I just love the idea of using the stampsets and punches in an alternative way and just love the way these butterflies have come out!! I can't wait to make some more!!
Don't forget if you LOVE this 'Mixed Bunch' stampset and coordinating 'Blossom Punch' as much as me then make sure you get your order in ASAP as they're in the summer mini catalogue and there is NO guarantee that they will be in the the new catalogue that will be launching next month - so email your order over today: firstname.lastname@example.com

On April 15th, Nebular Health Tech had the great honour to host Regina Holliday for a screening of 73 Cents and an introduction to The Walking Gallery. The idea was to bring together our patient voices and health IT endeavors to talk change. Recently, Allison Peacock, one of our community members wrote a bit about the event on her blog which I'd like to share here: _______________________________________________________________
The importance of telling our stories: raising the Patient Voice
I've decided to declare it patient advocacy month for White Horse Medicine! Continuing on the thread of my last blog on embracing our scars I want to celebrate some of the amazing patient advocate connections I've made in my efforts over the past few months to launch an innovative new patient-centered clinical model of care with Doctor Julie.
Not unlike Doctor Julie did, patient advocacy powerhouse Regina Holliday seems to have had our first meeting foreshadowed by the sudden appearance of peacocks. When we met for dinner one night during her trip to Austin she mentioned being really moved by some paintings of peacocks that were hanging on the wall when she dined with her Livestrong friends after a presentation at the foundation's Austin headquarters. She felt compelled to take a photo of them and she whipped out her phone to show them to me after we met later that day. She even included this in her blog post about her trip.
I met Regina just a few weeks after the Harvard event at a meeting of Nebular Health Tech when she was in town to speak at a symposium on health technology and Nebular hosted a viewing of her documentary short, 73 Cents. Regina and many of the other attendees at this meeting shared one powerful thing in common: they had each found a way to turn a life changing patient experience into something positive. Just like Regina had with her mural painting and patient advocacy efforts, many of the developers of medical apps were inspired by the need for something unique for themselves or a loved one. Several had taken up the banner of advocacy and activism to soothe the losses and traumas of a system that had failed them in some way.
Although we hadn't come together to specifically share our stories, organizer Erin Gilmer had the wisdom and generosity to end the screening with an opportunity to let everyone introduce themselves and tell us what had brought them to the meeting. One by one, each person displayed amazing vulnerability and courage.
From the mother who had challenged a doctor over his cancer misdiagnosis in her child, to medical device failures, to mental health challenges, each attendee extended the bonds of partnership-in-arms to the others in the room as they shared their personal stories. I was moved beyond measure. Although it didn't come as a surprise to me after the fact, I was surprised at the spontaneous nature of what I was witnessing. I was gifted with something very powerful.
I've witnessed the power of storytelling for decades. First as a designer interpreting my clients' needs and desires into the medium of physical spaces, and then as a professional storyteller hired to tell other people's stories. Year after year I've seen what the process of unearthing and recording personal stories can do. Whether of professional missions or philanthropic legacies the effect is the same: it is the process and power of being seen and heard that changes us. (ital. added) …
For the rest, head over to Allison's site at White Horse Medicine and learn about all her endeavors in health and health CARE. Thanks to Allison for the beautiful description of the importance of our event and to contributing to the health tech community in Austin.

Credit cards differ in what you can get out of them. It is important to compare credit cardsbefore you settle on one because some of them have better interest rates than others.
[Read the review about 90 minute Election Debate]
For example whilst one card might offer benefits such as overseas travel and medical insurance, another might offer a low balanced transfer rates or perhaps even frequent flyer points for certain airlines.
Evidently different cards suite different needs and somebody who flies regularly might opt for the latter. There is a lot of information to sift through when comparing credit cards and this should be done thoroughly before making your decision. Click here for more…

By Ian Edginton, Matthew Dow Smith & Jordie Bellaire
After doing a comic combining the 60s TV Batman with the Green Hornet (two shows which did crossover back in the day), DC followed up with a Caped Crusader/Man from U.N.C.L.E meeting. U.N.C.L.E.'s retro style made it seem an obvious choice for mixing with BAM! POW! Era Dynamic Duo. DC's new project, co-published by BOOM!, is in theory even more appealing. Steed and Peel's adventures were filled with wit, excitement, colorfully outrageous villains, a bit of social satire and a large amount sexual tension. Also Emma Peel remains one of the most charming and independent female action protagonists to grace screens large or small. Their show The Avengers had a long run on British television, going through several iterations. However, the years with Diane Rigg playing Emma Peel opposite Patrick Macnee's John Steed are simply some of the best television ever. However, the franchise has pretty much stumbled whenever transferred to comics. Something about the natural charm and chemistry of Macnee and Rigg has defied later writers, a trend which unfortunately continues.
The setup for the series is pretty straightforward. Bruce Wayne is escorting the dashing young British beauty Michaela Gough through Gotham City's rare gemstone exhibition. (Gough's name is surely a nod to actor Michael Gough who made his name during the 60s appearing in Hammer horror films; later he would play Alfred in all four Batman movies from the late 80s/90s). This being a comic book, the gemstone exhibit on page one needs to be burglarized by page three. Hence, enter the Catwoman, who is followed closely behind by Steed and Peel. It would seem that the exhibit was merely bait in order to draw out a mysterious thief. Complications naturally ensue, which include some sinister antagonists recognizable to Avengers fans.
The real problem with the story is not the serviceable plot, but the flatness of the dialogue. Steed and Peel are famous for their quick banter liberally littered with puns and double entendres. Edginton's writing comes nowhere close to this, leaving much of the patter being forced. This also extends to the scripting of Batman and Robin. As a whole the dialogue feels as if it is simply surface gloss. Something similar can be said about the art. Dow Smith does a decent job of rendering all of the famous faces familiar. However, that is all he does. His figural work is stiff and his backgrounds barely sketched to non-existent. Not all comic book art needs to hyper-naturalistic; indeed, a goofy pop art feel would be a nice match for either franchise. What art does need though is a pulse and that is distinctly lacking here.
Given how well these four characters could have meshed, this new series is a bit of a disappointment. In that, at least, Edginton can take solace from being in good company. Mark Waid's stab at the characters fell completely flat as well, which was odd. His Crossgem limited series Ruse was a delightful romp which channeled all the charm of Steed and Peel through original characters and settings. Perhaps novelty is the key. Whatever key ingredient for success may be, it is missing here.

This was made in February 2008. Here is my Leafre poem.
A colored, vivid town
Gives everyone a future thee
A lushous place according to contemporary
With Minar Forest, it calls Leafre
Colorful creatures like
Rashes, Hobis, Hankies,
Giant Beetles, Haves, Kentaurus,
and Birks give high spankies
But the dragon's nest
Includes the most convicted boss
A dragon named HornTail
Never conceited a loss
He summoned all kinds
Of dragons, such thus
Newties, Wyverns, Cornians,
Rextons, Skelegons, and Skelosaurus
Some fortunate heroes
Are delicating mankind
At them to be defeated
To recieve HornTail's bind
A colored, vivid town
Gives everyone a future thee
A lushous place according to contemporary
In Minar Forest, it calls Leafre
Bonus Poem about Barney the Dinosaur:
Barney is a dinosaur
who took over our nation
with ABCs and 123s
and cross multiplication.
Barney is an evil tyrant
just like Adolf Hitler.
When Baby Bop, she lost her blankie,
Barney went and hit her.
Barney is a facist guy
who loves to hate on gays,
blacks, and Jews, and Christians, too
and people who put on bad plays.
Barney is a bad guy.
We must all defeat him.
Once, we take him down,
we'll barbeque and eat him.

text: This WaPo newstory is just one example among many (never mind what passes for TV reporting on it) articles that keep repeating that many Iraqis don't believe that Saddam's sons are dead, or that we shouldn't have shown the bodies, or that we shouldn't have touched them up, etc. Yes, "many" Iraqis will say such things, and many Germans (30% of those under thirty) think that we blew up the two towers. So what? Why is this a newstory? The day before the bodies were shown the story was that many Iraqis demanded that the bodies be shown. I saw one Iraqi say into a camera that he would prefer that the bodies be dragged behind a truck through Baghdad and then he would believe it! I saw Howard Nachman (I think that's his name) a couple of nights ago, before the bodies were shown, on MSNBC say that we have to have a multicultural perspective on all this (he was in favor of showing the bodies): Their culture demands some gruesome things (by our standards) and we should--to be multi-cultural--accomodate them, show the bodies, that's what they will believe. His interlocutor said something like this, yup, their culture is more barbaric than ours, to which Nachman said "Oh, no, that's exactly wrong, it's just different." My point is that both what passes for news stories is deplorable (that is, we are not learning anything) and the commentary is either silly or as dull as a Hungarian trying to philosophize.
