text: How it works Our impact Our impact More than just fundraising Over the past five years we have donated over £869,000 to our supported charities. Our report Raise Your Hands in 2018 shows the impact RYH donor's money had on young lives last year, through the 12 small charities we support. Here are just a few highlights: Take a look at the full Raise Your Hands in 2018 report here. How we support our charities 1. Fundraising We raise money for effective but relatively unknown charities. This allows them to expand their programmes and do more of what they do best - helping disaffected and marginalised children. 2. Raising Awareness Most people haven't heard of most charities. We raise awareness of small charities that operate under the radar, so more people see the incredible work that they do. 3. Connecting Charities We expand the network of our charities by connecting them to members and to one another. This allows them share skills and to harness the depth of knowledge and experience within our community. 4. Consulting and Direction Through our network of partners, we offer our charities pro bono consulting advice, helping them to run their organisations more efficiently and providing feedback on their strategic objectives. Take a look at our blog on Curvestone for one example. How we measure impact You can read more about how we measure the impact and effectiveness of our charities in The Funding Model section.

Admiral Richard Byrd spoke about important sources of natural resources, which have not yet been explored or made known.
Theories of conspiracy and secret conflict occupy an important space on the Internet forums, there is talk of disastrous missions, such as the Philadelphia Project, or the experiments that the Soviet Union carried out to build an army of soldiers with superhuman capabilities, but there are also other less well-known events, such as the secret locations of the bases of operations and the sources of natural resources that were at stake.
Admiral Richard Byrd tells us in a secret diary that during his flight at the South Pole he enters the interior of the Pole, flying over crystalline lakes and rivers, lands full of vegetation where there were all kinds of animals, under a warm and sweet sun. His experience has been named one of the greatest expeditions in human history, but also the most censored.
Richard Byrd was a very important figure in the military research, his discoveries and travels helped to make important moves of the American army, to position its weapons at the end of World War II, and to pursue the Nazis, but there were also some strange events that were silenced by history and the governments involved.
The Admiral was a distinguished aviator and pioneer in polar exploration. He flew over the North Pole on May 9, 1926 and led numerous expeditions to Antarctica, including a flight over the South Pole on November 29, 1929. At the time, the news was about the tension between the great powers and the impending war.
In 1947, Richard Byrd was flying over the North Pole in one of his explorations, when he arrived in the heart of the Arctic he was involved in a strange event. The mission he was carrying out had to be classified, as he was officially supposed to be in Antarctica at the moment carrying out "Operation Highjump" for the US Navy. (1946-1947).
Richard Byrd's secret diary
During his fourth expedition, he wrote down his experiences in his valuable diary. Here are some fascinating excerpts.
"I must write this diary in secret and in absolute secrecy. You mean my Arctic flight of February 19, 1947. There will come a time when the rationality of men must dissolve into nothingness and then the inevitability of Truth must be accepted."
"I am not at liberty to divulge the documentation that follows, perhaps it will never see the light of day, but I must, in any case, do my duty and relate it here in the hope that one day everyone will be able to read it, in a world where the selfishness and greed of certain men will no longer be able to suppress the Truth.
Richard Byrd points out that some officers who were aware of that strange place did not want to make known what was there, possibly because they had secret bases and military spaces that are still on alert today for any movement that could threaten the United States, the cold war never ended, it just changed form.
… "I see stretches of ice and snow underneath us, the magnetic compass and the gyroscopic needle start to spin and oscillate, we can't keep our course with the instruments. We point the direction with the solar compass, everything still seems to be in order. Controls appear slow in response and operation, but there is no indication of freezing. This is not a hallucination. I see a mountain range we've never seen before.
It is very strange that in the story of the trip, there is talk of mountains with thick vegetation, some think that this is a piece of lost land, that the elites of the world have wanted to keep secret to preserve their homes and centers of operations, is a theory that makes a lot of sense, considering that nobody is going to explore too much in the midst of so much snow.
… "In addition to the mountains, there is something that seems to be a valley with a small river or stream that runs into the central part… There should be no green valley down here! There is something decidedly strange and abnormal here! We should only fly over ice and snow! On the left, there are large forests on the slopes of the mountains. Our navigation instruments are still spinning like crazy, the radio is no longer working.
"Ahead of us sighted a city. The plane appears light and strangely floating. The controls refuse to respond. To our right and to our left there are strange flying devices, they are quite close, they have badges, it is a strange symbol. We are firmly trapped by some kind of invisible force.
A devastating future
The story continues until they get to know this city, run by a civilization of blond and tall people, very kind and with superior technology, much more advanced than the one traditionally known at the time, they are told that the war has left them with the obligation to warn them about a devastating future, and that men are capable of destroying the entire world in order to maintain power.
Upon his return to the military base, Richard Byrd told the story in detail but was detained and placed under the supervision of secret service special forces, forced to keep quiet about what happened under threat and in the line of duty.
Rumours spread easily, the story leaked out, and the media at the time conducted discreet interviews with the Admiral, who until then had merely said that there was a huge untapped source of natural resources in the South Pole, and some governments might later be able to agree on workspaces to exploit them.
YouTube INODEUX
However, the interview did not seem natural, it was evident in the look of Admiral Richard Byrd, that there was something much bigger behind all this, the secret was kept secret until at one point he felt he had to do the right thing, and he released his secret diary, with all the notes of the trip and what he could see, highlighting the great warning of that strange advanced civilization that was in the South Pole, inside the earth.
This is a story that has been strongly censored by the media, and since that time has been dismissed by the U.S. government, however, it fits perfectly with the recent discoveries and events related to the South Pole, nobody understands the reason for the censorship on Google Maps made with computer software, nor can they explain why planes cannot fly over the area.

Shalom Everyone, November is closer than we think and my European mission trip to Igbos in the diaspora is fast approaching. I wish to sincerely thank from the bottom of my hear everyone who has contributed to the trip to make it possible. Everything has gone smoothly up to this point. In all endeavors for the Adonai there is always a snag, a test of faith somewhere. I am still approx. $1200 short and there are some snags regarding the Germany and especially the London leg of the trip. Everything is set however for Ireland. Without getting into to many unnecessary details (GOD knows), please pray that it will all work out and come together for the Germany and London leg of the trip.
Thank you, Shalom,
R. Yehudah "Tochukwu" ben Shomeyr (Kris Shoemaker)

When investors evaluate individual funds, it is only natural that one consideration is historical performance against a benchmark or a peer group, where funds are compared to others with a similar style. As we all know, even a short spell of underperformance can get a fund manager fired or a fund closed down.
Arguably, one knock-on effect is that fund managers become more short-term in their thinking, and are more tempted to invest in recently outperforming stocks. However, there is a wealth of literature warning against short-term performance chasing. Most investment professionals will probably agree that it makes no sense to sell one fund – or stock – after a short period of underperformance, only to jump into another one with a better short-term return. Whether selecting funds or stocks, performance chasing often damages long-term returns. Yet in reality, it is quite common, and leaves many investors underexposed to whatever underperformed recently.
A strategy that hit a rough patch in the past decade is the traditional value strategy of buying undervalued stocks. In the decade leading up to the financial crisis, the MSCI Europe Value Index had gained almost 2 percent annually compared to MSCI Europe. By contrast, in the following decade, the same value index lagged the broader market by 1.7 percent annually. The question is whether those 10 years of growth outperformance have led to a distinct growth bias for investors.

HAVAN Home Builders Association of Vancouver formerly known as the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to increasing professionalism in the residential construction industry. So what does it mean to be a member? It's not all just fun, games and dodgeball tournaments!
A GVHBA member for over a decade, VictorEric is impressed with the work that the organization has done and the community it has cultivated. One of HAVAN's primary focuses is Education and Training, something that has always been a key to our success. Our dedication to creating amazing drives us to provide continuing education and training for all our staff including annual personal effectiveness training for all supervisors and striving to be a leader on the cutting edge of the latest technologies and business best-practices. In addition to VictorEric's internal training and interdepartmental cross-training, we've also been recognized with an award for the number of our staff we have sent to industry-related training hosted by HAVAN. These include professional workshops and seminars.
HAVAN's work extends beyond the training. One key feature of the Association involves acting as the hub which connects industry people and local governments. As a collective, the Association is able to convey messages better and thus have more influence on the government's decision making. For instance, the City of Vancouver and other municipalities will take local builder's position into account when establishing new bylaws. HAVAN is also a platform for members to network.
The Ovation Award has always been an annual HAVAN event many members are excited about.
Through different functions and events, it builds a tighter community, which means businesses can collaborate and learn from one another, improving the overall efficiency of the industry. This promotes transparency of the construction industry and greatly helps the local home builder's image, allowing for a greater level of trust and understanding.
Minute-to-win-it is one of our favorite events which fuel our competitive urge.
VictorEric is a proud supporter of what HAVAN stands for and its contribution to the development of Vancouver's cityscape and we look forward to taking part in the many more decades to come.

With the World Cup right around the corner, it's about time to start priming one of the World Cup's strongest (and VERY top-heavy) groups, Group G. With Belgium, England, Tunisia, and Panama, who's the heavy favorite? We'll rank them top to bottom and give you the tournament odds, starting now!
Belgium. Four years ago, they were the "up-and-coming, dark horse" team. Now, they're one of the favorites. Back in 2014, Belgium's odds were about 16-to-1, but now, up to 11-to-1 as one of the favorites to potentially make noise and go all the way. What makes Belgium so special? Well, that's a question that's pretty, pretty easy to answer.
This Belgium side has been named the "golden generation" by many analysts, with incredible talent from top-to-bottom. In net, one of the world's most talented goaltenders in Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois on top of a defensive core lead by Man City's Vincent Kompany. Elsewhere? Just world class talent in Kevin De Bruyne (Man City), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Romelu Lukaku (Man U), need I go on? This Belgium team may be the most talented side in the tournament. Expect Belgium to run through the competition and play England very strong, likely winning their group.
Pre-Tournament Group Stage Odds (via CBSSports): -140
This England roster is stocked with speed and skill, but can they get over the hump and get deep in a tournament for the first time in over a decade? At this point, from what we've seen, there's potential. Definitely potential. If we know one thing about England football, it's almost always "potential", but will that potential finally get put to good use? Let's find out.
Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Dele Alli, and the gang are looking for vengeance. English football in general has been disappointing recently, and with this influx of tremendous youth, things are looking up. Who's going to get the nod in net? Between 24 year old Jordan Pickford, 25 year old Jack Butland, or 26 year old Nick Pope, international experience will be a bit lacking. The English team's decided to go with the youth rather than 75-cap Joe Hart, a semi surprising move to some. This shows the direction that the English squad's looking to go in, with 2018 being the start of what is hopefully a long-term dynasty. With all the talent on this roster, plan for England to waltz into the Knockout Stage and prepare themselves for some real fun.
Pre-Tournament Group Stage Odds (via CBSSports): +120
We go from Belgium and England, two of the contenders of the World Cup… to Tunisia. Tunisia's ranked 21st in FIFA's rankings thus far, and with a 12-year absence since their last appearance in the World Cup, the Tunisians are looking to make some noise and shock the world.
A large amount of Tunisia's roster plays in France currently, lead by players such as Vice-Captain Wahbi Khazri of Rennes/Sunderland. Tunisia's been in good form recently, dropping just one game in a recent friendly against Spain, otherwise defeating teams like Costa Rica, Iran, Egypt in the past year to show that they're not just a Group G pushover. This Tunisia team's one of the dark horses of the tournament, and while they've got some brutal odds, there's certainly potential that Tunisia makes it interesting and puts up a few points to keep the English on their toes. With only one win in the World Cup since 1978, every game will likely be tough, but we've seen crazier things happen.
Pre-Tournament Group Stage Odds (via CBSSports): +2200
If we're talking absolute dark horses, Panama's the darkest horse you can find. For fans of the MLS, Panama's one of the few teams stocked with players playing in the MLS right now, with recognizable names such as Anibal Godoy (San Jose Earthquakes) and Román Torres (Seattle Sounders) leading the way with dozens of caps.
Panama's got one of the oldest squads at the World Cup and in their first World Cup appearance in the history of their national team, this is more about "the experience" than anything for the Panamanians. Will Gabriel Torres, Blas Pérez, and Luis Tejada be able to break up and score at all? With a known "defense first, offense second" scheme, chances are there's going to be a ton of bus parking and a lot of attempts to counter attack up the field. All in all, expect Panama to get handled by Belgium and England and potentially compete with Tunisia in what could potentially decide who the bottom-feeder of the World Cup is.
Pre-Tournament Group Stage Odds (via CBSSports): +4000

Negotiators have completed the first round of face-to-face talks after proposals for a closer trade relationship were outlined on 6 March 2013. Issues discussed included: trade in goods; rules of origin; intellectual property rights; customs and trade facilitation; technical barriers to trade; public procurement; animal and plant health standards; sustainable development; services and investment protection.
This is one of many trade deals which will secure closer trading ties between the major economic regions of the EU and ASEAN. Last December, the EU concluded a trade deal with Singapore, while negotiations with Malaysia and Vietnam are on-going. This represents the strong engagement of the EU in the ASEAN region, and it is believed that the ultimate objective will be to negotiate a region-to-region agreement with ASEAN in the future.
Thailand is the EU's third-largest trading partner inside ASEAN. Trade between them in 2012 reached nearly €32bn. The EU is also one of the largest investors in Thailand with investment stocks worth more than €14bn in 2011. The next round of negotiations will be held in Thailand from 16-20 September 2013.

LAS VEGAS—UC Santa Barbara hadn't won a postseason game since the 1990 NCAA Tournament, when it defeated Houston in the first round.Michigan State, featuring a young guard named Mark Montgomery, eliminated the Gauchos, who went on to suffer through a 26-year dry spell without a postseason win.That drought ended Monday, at the expense of Montgomery's Northern Illinois Huskies.In the opening round of the inaugural Vegas 16 Tournament at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, Santa Barbara used a furious second-half rally to defeat the Huskies, 70-63.
"I think we played unbelievable basketball in the first half, but as I told them at halftime, you have to still close," Montgomery said. "They started the second half making a run, and it seemed like we couldn't defend without making a foul. And we struggled to score in the second half. It seemed like we couldn't get consecutive baskets, which kind of hurt us."

When I created the
Food & Cooking 2015
album on August 1st, 2015, I had a small collection of food and cooking related photos to share. Since then, the number of images has mushroomed to over 300! And there is more yet to come, because as of mid-April 2016, I have not yet finished processing all of my photos from 2015 ... sad but true!
As the size of that album increased, it was necessary to break it up into smaller sections, based upon specific topics. Therefore, that single album has now been distributed amongst the following smaller albums:
Cooking With Hen Eggs 2015
Cooking With Duck Eggs 2015
Bread and Pizza 2015
Homemade Pretzels 2015
Himalayan Salt Block Cooking 2015
Oregon Pub Crawl 2015
Best of Food & Cooking 2015
Today I am inaugurating this album to join those listed above, as a way of clearly and accurately classifying and organizing my food and cooking photos for 2015. Because I have identified myself as
a gourmet chef wannabe not ready for prime time,
that seemed like an appropriate title for this album. I make no claim of being a culinary expert, but I do have fun trying new recipes and techniques in the kitchen, as well as photographing the process and results.

text: by Rithely Almeida October 09, 2019 Dream of consumption, is your brand ready to meet this expectation on Black Friday? Here is the second half of the year, and one of the most important retail dates is knocking on our doors. The long-awaited Black Friday, the second most important retail seasonal date.In the 2018 edition, sales increased by 9% over the same period last year. However, forecasts for 2019, according to research by GFK, are for a "warm" edition with only 4% growth in revenues (5% lower than the previous year). It is noteworthy that the research took into consideration only sales of electrical and electronic products, darling category of Black Friday.Despite the lackluster data, most consumers know the date and are preparing to buy something they have long wanted. So how will your brand meet the expectation of the "consumer dream" and succeed in sales this Black Friday? Planned Purchases vs. Impulse Purchases For a long time the market has believed that the Brazilian consumer takes advantage of Black Friday to advance the holiday shopping. This is not an absolute truth, as in a quantitative study by Provokers / Google, 33% of respondents said the date was the ideal time to buy something they wanted for a long time. Only 17% of respondents reported making impulse purchases during editions.In addition, while 79% of people say they buy on Friday, 21% say they buy before or on the weekend after the date (some even wait for Cyber Monday to complete their purchases).With this, we can see that most consumers choose to plan their purchases long before November arrives, conducting in-depth research on the product and especially the price variation before the event (which is a reflection of the stigma of "black fraud"). But why does the consumer make so many searches before buying? Online research today greatly facilitates the life of consumers, whatever the subject, we can find relevant information in search engines. Restaurants, best places to visit, most trusted stores, current products with reviews from other users. All this counts for those who enter this research journey.Interestingly, this type of behavior is closely linked to people's emotional behavior, as they become more excited and confident, less anxious and feeling that they are enjoying themselves to the fullest.Plus, the habit of researching helps create better experiences, as people want to know every detail to make sure they won't face the remorse of having a negative experience. Especially at events like Black Friday where many people still distrust the promotions offered.In a Provokers survey, only 6% of people do not research before buying, while 20% do research several months earlier, and another 26% search 1 month in advance. As a result, consumers are more aware of options.Understanding these moments of consumer reasoning is a great opportunity for a brand to gain consideration in the early stages of decision making.Some ways to make consumers more comfortable is to provide more detailed information on the product page, either with explanations, ways of using, review of customers who bought or even show the price update on the wishlist. Online videos also stimulate buying action Consumers walk the buying journey, seeking information not only from search engines, but also on youtube.According to data from Google Advisors, about 53% of people search for products on Google and then watch videos to learn more before buying.The reasons range from knowing more about the product, observing how others use it, or seeing authentic reviews.Knowing that people don't think about search and videos separately (ie both actions are performed together), it's interesting that your site has informative videos, because once the consumer has the offer to buy + relevant information, purchasing decision making is more effective.Finally, Black Friday is a great time to ensure the consumer has the most formidable experience possible. Considering the characteristics, and the intention of the along the buying journey, you can take advantage of curiosity and offer stimuli to make your customer feel more comfortable and prone to purchase.Be sure to capture the interest of your audience from the outset by being assertive in communicating and offering timely offers outside the Black Friday period (where 40% of purchases are made).Taking these points into consideration, the event is sure to be a success out there.And then liked the article, leave your opinion in the comments.

The 1940 census record for my grandparents includes a 9-year-old named June Taylor. She was listed as sister, which would indicate she was my grandfather's sister. Other entries included attended school or college any time since March 1, 1940 = yes, highest grade of school completed = 2, and where lived on April 1, 1935 = same place. Also listed with my grandparents were their three daughters.1
When I first saw this record I was thoroughly confused for a few minutes.
Who in the world was June Taylor?
Now, I knew my maternal grandparents very well. I knew the names of all their siblings long before I ever became interested in genealogy, and I met most of them. A couple of things I was sure of: 1) My grandfather did not have a sister 37 years younger than him named June Taylor and 2) My grandmother did not have a sister 30 years younger than her named June Taylor, even though her maiden name was Taylor.
My grandmother was the Post Master at Loyall, KY from March 1937 to September 1941. I knew that her sister Gracie Taylor went to live with them when she took that job. Gracie kept house and was there for my mother and her sister who were both in elementary school.
It was pretty clear to me that somehow 53-year-old Grace was recorded in the census as nine-year-old June. Fortunately, I could also question my mother and my Aunt Edna (who was a college student in 1940) about this June Taylor. They were both sure they had no relative named June Taylor and no child by that name ever lived with them.
Technically, Gracie was my grandmother's half-sister but I never heard that term used for her or my grandmother's other two half-siblings.
Gracie was born 27 August 1886 in Mt. Vernon, Rockcastle County, Kentucky. She was the oldest of two daughters born to Sarah A. Ramsey and John Cook Taylor. Sarah died 12 February 1892 leaving John with two daughters 5 and 3 years old. John had a brief second marriage to Margaret Frances Warren before marrying Emma Jane Owens 16 January 1900 when Gracie was 13 years old.
Gracie never married and, except for that stint with Emma's family, always lived with her father until he died in 1953. She continued living with her step-mother, Emma Jane, after John died. She worked as a clerk in Dr. Pennington's office in the 1920s and also worked at the bus station in Mt. Vernon.
Gracie died 25 September 1961 at the Rockcastle County Baptist Hospital. She was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Mt. Vernon next to her father.
If this had been a census record for a family I didn't know so well, and I hadn't been able to discuss it with my mother and aunt, I'd probably still be looking for June Taylor.

Times are a changin' with three generations now commonplace at work. At the older end there are baby boomers, born from 1946 to the mid-1960s. In the middle are Generation X, born between the mid 1960s and the early 1980s. Generation Y, the millennial generation straddles the early 1980s to mid-1990s.
Mixed generation management is hard but not impossible. Here are some tips to help:
Millennials are "digital natives".
They may not remember a time without mobile phones or the internet. They have a lot of value to add with social media and technology tasks. Mentor relationships can be developed between millennials and other generations where both sides coach the other on expert areas.
Millennials may not stay put if the workplace does not meet their needs.
Unlike former generations, it is harder to hold onto millennials. Find out what they want and look for ways to meet their needs. It is less about money for them than former generations. In a recent report, Deloitte identified:
Millennials' loyalty to their organisations is connected to leadership development opportunities, workplace flexibility, and a sense of purpose beyond profit.
Millennials are not prepared to put up with a poor work life balance.
This is in contrast to older workers who traditionally accept working longer hours. PWC suggests rewards for younger employees based on results, not hours worked. Millennials may also place a greater value on the chance to work when and where they like. Offer this and you'll get more from your younger teams.
If you hire the right people in the first place you'll reduce tensions making mixed generation management smoother. The McQuaig Psychometric System delivers psychometric assessment to help find people that best fit together to work together.[more-info]Download Millennials: The Future of our Workplace[/more-info]

Blogs today have become an essential part and needed for most of the generation worldwide.
It's raining blogs.
Life was never so tech savvy before this.
Whether one needs advice, needs to share a personal experience, be aware of the views on any topic, all one needs is to gear up and punch in a few keys and write a blog.
With the birth of blogs, conventional writing has taken a back seat.
Ink is replaced by the keyboard and readers are targeted globally.
Blogging gets you the reactions from worldwide. It provides a place to say it and be heard.
In general, 'blog' used to mean a personal online diary, typically concerned with boyfriend problems or techie news.
But after September 11, a slew of new or refocused media junkie/political sites reshaped the entire Internet media landscape.
The blog now refers to a Web journal that comments on the news — often by criticizing the media and usually in rudely clever tones — with links to stories that back up the commentary with evidence.
Catherine Seipp in the American Journalism Review
Top 10 reasons why people write blogs:
1. Networking
It's a great way of meeting new people, globally or locally. Blogging helps to spread ideas and connections beyond geographical boundaries. You can connect with your friends, family or fans to let them know what you think about certain issues. You can ask them about their opinion or share important happening in their lives.
2. Hobby/Interest in Writing
This is the most common reason people start blogging.
Many people like to write and they like to write for themselves. Basically, this is what blogging is all about. It's why blogging started, and it's why blogging exists. Most people just want to keep an online space for writing.
These people don't care about the best blogging platforms, how to get more traffic, and how to increase the number of comments. They just love to write, and if someone happens to comment, then hey, that's good too.
That said, blogging out of passion should be every blogger's biggest reason for blogging.
3. Fame/Popularity
When people see any successful person, they try to follow that path.
When I was a kid, I used to see Sachin Tendulkar (famous cricketer) and I wanted to become a cricketer. When I used to see movie actors on posters and newspapers and TVs, I wanted to become a film star.
- This is not just me, this is human tendency.
This is also true for the blogging industry. When people see successful bloggers like Darren Rowse, Amit Agarwal, Tim Ferriss, or other bloggers who have money and fame, they try to be like them.
This is not a bad approach, but what they're forgetting is that all of these famous and successful bloggers are blogging because it's their passion.
Again, passion is the foundation of blogging.
Not only is quick fame and fortune a misguided reason for starting a blog, it's not possible. I'm sorry…
Every success is preceded by a lot of hurdles, and if you want to become a famous blogger, know that it's going to take you a while to get there.
You need to crawl; it's impossible to jump.
4. Money
Most people look at professional bloggers (like Harsh) and think, "Oh, all I have to do is write a few things, click a few buttons, and I can make a lot of money!" But this is very, very, very untrue.
A lot of people start blogging for money. And while you can make money blogging, I need to say it again:
- If there's no passion, you'll find making money very hard.
Blogging can be a gold mine for people who want to tap into the rich field of online marketing, but if you just want to make money, you'll make more money at a "traditional" job.
If you do want to make money blogging, you should have a well-planned road map for your blog, and be able to target a profitable niche.
5. Advertising and Branding
Since the large part of the population is internet friendly, a lot of companies see it as a profitable exercise to blog and advertise their company.
Through the blogs, they can also get reviews on their products and hence test the waters.
It's a great platform for the branding of the products.
You can talk about your products and its features, how it works etc.
Inform the readers about the new products that are to be launched in the future and answer their query on the same.
6. To connect with like-minded people
Blogging helps to bring in together the people who think alike.
When you blog on a certain topic.
Sometimes they help you to take your thoughts forward. Through blogs a lot of idea sharing takes place, that couldn't have been possible otherwise.
7. To create awareness or get your voice heard
This is one of the reasons why people blog. Sometimes it just takes a simple move to start something big. Many blogs are issue-based, meaning the blogger is trying to provide information to sway people's thinking in a certain direction.
Many political blogs and social issues blogs are written by bloggers who are trying to make a difference in their own ways. Such blogs bring people together and connect them.
For example, if you see any injustice and you raise your voice about that on your blog so that lots of people react on that and probably there could be a mass movement.
8. Self Promotion and build your personal brand–
It's an excellent way to promote yourself in the field of one's' expertise or interest. By writing blogs one can share the knowledge as will showcase your skills in front of your potential employees, who would read your blogs.
This will also help legitimize your expertise and expand your online presence and platform. It also helps in promoting your credibility.
9. To find new jobs
This is one of the newer reasons why people create a blog.
Let's say you're a programmer who is skilled in creating websites, you could create a blog and start posting about programming-related topics. This will help drive potential future employers to your site who might want to hire you for a project.
Or maybe you're a photographer. You can start a blog on your website with all of your pictures to try and draw in people from search engines.
This is actually a very effective way of finding jobs.
10. To help others
A lot of blogs are written to help people going through a certain phase or circumstances.
Like break-ups, disease, parenting, depression and so on. It is difficult to talk to someone personally on these topics.
Such blogs work in a therapeutic way for such people.
It also makes them feel that they are the only one going through such a phase, but there are so many others who are going through the same situation.
11. Stays in touch
Personal blogs are a great medium to stay in touch with the family and friends, whom you cannot see every day.
To let them know what you feel about them. Make them feel special. Share what is going on in your life or advice them on certain topics.
12. To satisfy your creative side
Sometimes your mind is abuzz with creative ideas, which you are not too sure of, expressing openly, you have a lot of fear of their acceptance, or you are not too sure how to start something like that, blogs are the best option for unleashing your creative ideas.
It not only gives you readers who might admire your workpiece but also gives your confidence a boast.
One also has the liberty to write semi-professionally.
13. Create a record
By writing online open journals one can create a record for future, for personal use like kids and family so that they can refer to it in the future.
14. To gain Knowledge
There are almost half a million blogs available on the web, they cover almost every topic. One can gain and share information on the topic of interest. Updating blogs regularly with the latest information is a perfect way to stay abreast with the events in a specific field or topic.
There are certain things, which are to be kept in mind while writing a blog. A blog should be updated regularly with the latest information otherwise, is considered as a static web page for the readers.
This, in turn, will mean less credibility for the blogger and even less traffic on the blog. Before starting with the new blog, it is essential that you should define a goal for it and what do you want to accomplish out of it.
You should know who are your readers and blog should be written in order to meet their expectations. Your blogs should reflect your personality and not something you are not.

During the last third of 2015, when I was starting to explore
breweries and pubs in Portland and beyond,
I stopped at a few of the 57 locations in
Pacific Northwest
empire. In addition, while on
my 24 walks
around Portland that year, I passed by and photographed a handful of McMenamins locations without actually visiting them.
All of these McMenamins-related photos are scattered across various 2015 photo albums, depending on which outing I was on when I took them. They also appear all together in the
Oregon Pub Crawl 2015
album — along with 72 non-McMenamins pub and restaurant images.
Because I plan on visiting and photographing as many McMenamins locations as I can during 2016, I decided, for my last album of 2015, to create this special collection which features
all of
— and
— my pictures which were taken at a McMenamins during 2015.

In his leadership career the praises he appreciated the most were from employees and their families he was able to help. As an international humanitarian, disadvantaged people's gratitude in emerging nations always brought him to tears. Adopting twin Haitian orphans, training them up as global citizens and then observing them volunteer in orphanages themselves – more tears. Allen's amazing team of employee/partners and he are shamelessly obsessed with delivering extraordinary guest experiences. The opportunity to earn the privilege of each guest's trust and commerce is intensely fulfilling.

For a split second, MEA member Leigh Osentoski thought her student was joking around – until reality set in.
The sophomore girl was choking so severely she couldn't get any air to make a sound. Hunched over, the teenager was signaling with her arms to draw Osentoski's attention.
"It was not even half a second before I picked her up and started doing the Heimlich maneuver, but it didn't work," Osentoski said. "Then I tried it a second time, and it still didn't work."
The Capac agriscience teacher had been on a field trip last Wednesday with 30 students involved in a Future Farmers of America (FFA) competition in Fowlerville. The group was eating lunch at a fast food restaurant.
The FFA advisor, Osentoski was filling a drink at the beverage station when the girl approached. "She wasn't making any noise, but I'm very glad she had the mindset to come up to me," she said.
Osentoski had recently attained her CPR recertification. She knew to keep calm and level-headed. Reach around the student with both arms from behind. Thrust upward from the sternum with as much force as possible.
"I felt my hands – my fists go into her," the teacher said. "All I was thinking about was that I would do whatever I had to do to get it out."
But when the first two tries didn't succeed, Osentoski had a moment of doubt. She called out to a male school board member who was chaperoning the trip. "I'm a pretty strong girl, but I needed the backup just in case," she said.
That's when the third Heimlich maneuver worked.
After a few moments of reassurance with the student – "I asked her a couple times, 'Are you OK?' and she said, 'I'm OK' and I'm asking 'Are you sure?' and she says, 'Yeah, I'm fine,'" – Osentoski realized she was badly shaken herself.
"The kids call me Oz, and they were saying, 'Oz, are you OK?'" she said. "I had to compose myself for a minute. I felt so many emotions; proud I was able to do it, scared that I had to do it, glad everything turned out OK."
The girl's mom, a nurse, was appreciative beyond words. The student – described as quiet and very smart – traveled the next day to Michigan State University to participate in the World Food Prize Michigan Youth Institute, presenting her research project on water sanitation in India.
There she was named one of eight 2017 Bourlaug Scholars in the state – a happy ending to the story.
But Osentoski doesn't want to leave it there. She wants school employees to listen up: This frightening scenario could occur anywhere, anytime.
"Now I realize that, yeah, everybody needs to get certified," she said.
Michigan school code requires certification in first aid and CPR only to receive a Provisional Teaching Certificate. After that, recertification is recommended but not required every one or two years.
Osentoski was recertified last fall and serves on the school's First Response team for medical emergencies. She's never used the Heimlich maneuver before and never thought she would need it. "Then, guess what – there I was in that terrible situation, and I knew what to do."
MEA offers our student members of SMEA free CPR training sessions, which normally cost between $105-250. Sessions dates are generally held on Saturdays and fill up quickly once they're announced by email.

We humans have all sorts of things in common, including symbolism for everything that's important to us here on Earth: priestesses and popes, magicians and fools, masters and apprentices, kings and paupers, death and rebirth. And in the larger universe beyond the Earth, we are fascinated by the sun, the moon, the stars, their deaths and rebirths in an infinite cycle as the universe expands.

Ten African countries made the list with Ghana ranking the highest with 46% of women business owners as a percentage of all business owners.
Ghana ranked ahead of second-placed Russia (34.6%), third-placed Uganda 33.8% and the United States which is listed at 23rd with only 25.5% of the businesses owned by women.
Strengths and Opportunities
The report noted that there are several aspects of the entrepreneurial conditions in Ghana that leads to the strong level of women entrepreneurship. First, it said women tend to be more inclined to engage in entrepreneurial activities (38%) than men (35%). They were also found to have a very strong representation as business leaders.
Another enabling factor was found to stem from Ghanaian society's high regard for entrepreneurship as a good career choice (81.6%) and successful entrepreneurs (94.1%). For both perception indicators, Ghana's rating was the highest in the world (GEM 2012 sub-Saharan Africa).
"This is not surprising. Given that the country is a lower-middle income and factor-driven market, women typically turn to necessity-driven entrepreneurial activities out of sheer will to survive and support oneself and family," the report said.
"These activities are often operated in the informal micro to medium-scale agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors of the economy, and take the form of self-employment (as opposed to job creation or business growth).
"The vital role that women play as farm owners, farm partners and farm labourers is astounding: their contribution is estimated to account for around 70% to 80% of food consumed in the country. They have also become increasingly responsible for the education and other material needs of their wards, especially in female-headed households".
The Index also indicated that developed markets with strong enabling conditions are not immune to a cultural bias against female entrepreneurship.
The Index suggested that the opportunity for entrepreneurship is not necessarily aligned with the pace of a market's economic development. Emerging economies such as Ghana (46.4 percent) – one of the Index's three newly added markets along with Malawi and Nigeria – Uganda (33.8 percent) and Vietnam (31.3 percent) were found to have higher women business ownership rates, compared to more developed ones.
Women in these markets are deemed as necessity-driven entrepreneurs, spurred by a need for survival despite their lack of financial capital and access to enabling services.
Overall, the Index showed that budding and established women entrepreneurs around the world continue to progress despite gender-related cultural biases that can create significant roadblocks hindering them from advancing their businesses.
The Index used 12 indicators and 25 sub-indicators to look at how 57 countries (economies) across the Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, North America, Latin America and Europe – representing 78.6 percent of the world's female labour force – differ in terms of the level of the three components.

Key insights:
The Mastercard Index of Women Entrepreneurs tracks female entrepreneurs' ability to capitalize on opportunities granted through various supporting conditions within their local environments and is the weighted sum of three components:

Directly from Joe Bonamassa newsletter
It's been quite awhile since the Deep Purple albums "Burn", "Stormbringer" and "Come Taste the Band' have been heard live, but for fans in the UK, recently, they got to relive some rock n roll magic once again when "Glenn Hughes' Classic Deep Purple Live Tour" came to the Electric Ballroom, in Camden Town, London. It was quite a night to remember with such classics as "Stormbringer" opening the set and many other great classic tracks from Deep Purple's catalogue seeing the light of day again even if it's only for a short time. The venue was crowded, hot and sweaty but the rock played on and the crowd was loving every moment of it! Hughes trademark screams were on point proving he still has the chops to rock a stage.
But alas, all things must pass, and the show was coming to an end. Or so they thought! Somehow, the stars were aligned that night and it was time for a special guest appearance to help finish off the encore. As the song "Burn" was finishing up, a massive cheer came from the audience that happily welcomed the presence of Joe Bonamassa who joined Hughes on stage for the last two songs of the night. Joe conjured up the spirit of Ritchie Blackmore when he joined Glenn Hughes on stage to perform "Mistreated" and adding some extra swagger to the song "Highway Star". Well, since a lot of us didn't get to experience it firsthand, you can at least check it out here and imagine just how great it must have been to see these two legends performing live!

Arizona's Graham, UCLA's Frattone Claim Weekly Gymnastics Honors
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- ARIZONA junior Deanna Graham and UCLA junior Tauny Frattone have been awarded Pac-10 Gymnast of the Week and Pac-10 Special Performance of the Week honors, respectively, for the week of Mar. 7-13, Commissioner Larry Scott announced today.
Deanna Graham was one of the key figures in Arizona's win over BYU, New Hampshire, and Texas Western. Graham, a junior from Tucson, Ariz., helped the Wildcats end the regular season with a bang, as Arizona earned a new season high score of 195.675. Graham anchored the first rotation with a career-high score of 9.925 to catapult the Cats to an early lead of 49.125. Graham also finished first on the floor exercise earning a score of 9.875, and tied for third on bars as the Wildcats were just .01 shy of a 49, totaling a 48.900. Graham's scores enabled her to post a season high all-around score of 39.350 - only 0.05 shy of her career high total.
This is Graham's second career Pac-10 Gymnast of the Week honor and 13th in Arizona history.
Junior Tauny Frattone won vault for the seventh consecutive meet, tying her career-high with a 9.95 after sticking her Yurchenko half on, front pike off vault. Frattone help led the Bruins to a season-high vault score of 49.575, the Bruins' highest vault score since Feb. 22, 2009 at Nebraska. The native of Lake Forest, Calif., leads the team with a 9.883 vault average, and has scored 9.9 or better in four of her last five meets. Frattone also had a strong performance on beam, tying her career-high with a 9.85 as the last competitor of the day to help the Bruins get over 197. UCLA's team score of 197.05 was its highest away score of the year and second-highest overall this season.
The Special Performance of the Week nod is Frattone's second of her career and UCLA's 16th all-time.
