Although knowing how to write a resume honors and awards section can always be a great skill to have, you only need this section if you have a substantial quantity of awards that will require an entire section to show them off. These honors will show your future employers that you are a driven candidate and will encourage them to take a closer look at you and hopefully schedule an interview with you as well. It is important to only include accomplishments that are job related and can help you get the position you want.
Should You Include a Customer Service Resume Honors and Awards Section
As you begin to write a customer service resume honors and awards section, format the awards you add to help you stand out from others applying for the same job. To start up a section for your awards and honors, you need to have at least three accomplishments to write about. If you only have one award, you can easily add it into another part of your resume, such as the experience section. If you have won awards for being a standout customer service representative, you should add them to your resume in detail. You should also add awards from any colleges, jobs, or organizations that you have joined.
How to Format a Customer Service Resume Honors and Awards Section
Before the Experience section, list your specific awards and professional accomplishments and include any relevant details, such as what you did to reach the achievement or honor. You should also add the date of the awards to let employers know how long it has been since you won them. Try to list your most recent and relevant honors at the top of your list.

(CLASSIC: from The Complete Short Stories, Vintage)
For prophetic power and inexhaustible symbolism alone, I'd have to say one of my favourites would be Kafka's 'A Hunger Artist'. Celebrity culture, reality TV and performance art are just three aspects of contemporary 21st century life that this story envisioned a century before. Add to this list of prophesies Kafka's own tragic demise – starving to death after a throat infection left him unable to eat – and you realise the horror of the story just goes on an on. And yet it isn't a wholly bleak story, it has humour and wonder in it. That's the thing about Kafka, the stories are so strange you can see almost anything in them. This story also pulls that masterful conjuring trick that you see elsewhere in stories like 'In the Penal Colony,' that of viewing the future from an even more futuristic vantage point, i.e. retrospectively. The future is just a passing fad.

(MODERN: from The Complete Short Stories, )
If I were honest I'd say my favourite modern short would be either David Constantine's 'In Another Country' (from Under the Dam) or Hassan Blasim's 'The Corpse Exhibition' (from The Madman of Freedom Square), but no one would believe me, since I also happen to be their publisher. So I'll keep things neutral and plump for J G Ballard's 'The Dead Astronaut' – or at least that's my favourite this week. The intricate, layered symbolism of this story enables it to be simultaneously about both the betrayal of a relationship and the collapse of a civilisation (namely the American Empire, as fanfared through the space race). 'Sputnik' – Murakami tells us (in another book) – is the Russian word for 'fellow traveler,' but what happens when your fellow traveler is dead? Ballard's story even has a classic plot twist and a quite separate reveal which, like all good reveals, isn't actually explicated. Awesome. If I could do a Dr Frankenstein on modern short story writers it would be to fuse the poetry of Constantine with the ideas of Philip K Dick. This story crash-lands not too far away from that perfect spot.

While anyone can get toenail fungus (onychomycosis), some people are at a greater risk. In fact, age, gender, genetics, overall health — and many simple everyday habits — can play a role in the development of a toenail fungal infection.
Your skin plays an important role in helping you stay healthy, and the way it looks says a lot about your health — and your age. Skin that's exposed to years of sunlight and environmental pollutants can start to look older, duller and more worn a lot faster than skin that's well cared for. Plus, when your skin is healthy, it's better-equipped to serve as a barrier against germs and diseases.
The earlier you establish a comprehensive skin care routine, the better off your skin will be. But the good news is, skin is also pretty forgiving. So even if you haven't been kind to your skin in the past, starting a good skin care routine now can still provide amazing benefits in the future.
Skin care routines are just that — routines. To get the most benefits, you need to follow a regimen that's suited to your skin type, your age, and the issues your skin faces, like dryness, oiliness, or breakouts. Sounds complicated, but it's really not, especially when you have the right products to use. Of course, the key is to find and use products that won't irritate your skin or cause allergic reactions — products based on real science, not marketing jargon.
At Vino Med Spa, we offer an array of skin care products tailored to the needs of our customers. All our products feature organic components to help reduce your exposure to chemicals and toxins so your skin can truly soak in the benefits and heal and repair itself. Here's what you should include in your healthy skin care routine.
Cleansers need to be strong enough to remove dirt, makeup, and pollutants, but they need to be gentle enough to avoid irritation. To avoid drying your skin, wash your face just twice a day — when you get up in the morning and at night before bed. You should also wash it gently if you've been perspiring or if it gets dirty during the day.
Exfoliants gently remove the dead skin cells on the upper layer of your skin, helping your skin renew itself so it looks and feels fresh and healthy. Plus, an exfoliant can help your other skin care products penetrate more deeply so they work more effectively. While there are very gentle exfoliants, they're typically not used every day.
If you think a toner is just for getting rid of excess oil, think again. A good toner can clarify your skin, getting rid of pollutants and debris your face wash might miss. Plus, it can balance your skin's pH and help other products work better. Toners are available for all skin types, including dry skin and sensitive skin.
Your skin needs moisture to stay supple and smooth, so it can continue to provide an effective barrier against germs. Contrary to popular belief, the right moisturizer will not clog your pores or cause breakouts. You can select a moisturizer based on your skin type, and you can also change your moisturizer depending on the time of the year. Moisturizers are available in creams and lotions to help you get the best one for your skin's needs.
Anti-aging products contain antioxidants and nutrients your skin needs to stay healthy as you age. Getting older places a lot of demands on your skin, and hormonal changes can make your skin drier and more prone to wrinkling. Anti-aging products help restore youthful suppleness to your skin, helping diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Of course, it goes without saying (or it should anyway), you need to wear sunscreen every day, even if it's cloudy, raining or snowing. UV rays can penetrate cloud cover, and that means your skin is always at risk of sun-related damage. Keep sunscreen in your bathroom, by your front door — even in your purse and gym bag to make sure you don't forget.
Don't leave your skin care up to chance. Maintaining a good skin care routine is one of the best things you can do to keep your skin healthy and to keep it looking its best as you get older. At Vino Med Spa, we work closely with each client to develop a skin care routine that's customized for their unique and individual needs so they can always put their best face forward. To learn how we can help you improve your own skin care routine, contact the practice today.

Clubs and Organizations
June 21, 2019
Banners. Signs with a word or two. Banners and signs beckoning us to look, and then directing or demanding something of us. They seem to have become part of the urban and suburban landscape. Do you notice them when you drive, or walk, or bike along? They are so commonplace here in this area that their very ubiquity make them easy to overlook. And coming from someone who remembers the time when they were rare, that's an odd thing to say. But I admit I often ignore them, because, in some areas of this and neighboring towns anyway, they hang on poles and posts on nearly every street corner. That can make it seem as though someone or something is demanding too much of me when I have places to go and my own tasks to think about.
A lot of the time, of course, that something to think about is related to our work here at NFESH. So it was one day a few weeks ago when I was taking a back way to the office through a heavily-bannered corridor. It is one of those sprawling complexes of offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues and high rise housing. It is dotted by traffic lights every block as well. As I stopped at one cross street, I looked up at the banner that had the name of the developer tastefully displayed across the bottom. "Collaborate" it shouted in bolder, brighter vertical lettering. Hmm, I thought as the light changed and I lurched one block ahead…yes, to see the command "Educate" flapping in the wind on the next corner. But by then my interest was piqued and I was actually hoping for a red light. I got what I wished for. "Innovate." Then came the final suggestion, at least in the direction I was driving: "Invigorate" it encouraged.
That one word, more than the rest, grasped my attention. And it lead me out of the traffic crawl to thinking about how often organizations in the nonprofit world (and other sectors as well, I suppose) repeat the first three words in the series and completely overlook this last. Education and collaboration stand at the core of what we at NFESH do, and so it should be. By its very definition, the so-called "aging network," which we serve and with whom we work, is a collaboration– and one that depends and thrives on education in and across its levels. We are dedicated to doing our share of providing that. Out of the twin pillars of education and collaboration, innovation grows. Or it should. Our What A Waste initiative, say the nearly 100 congregate nutrition programs that have implemented it, is a valuable and needed innovation. That is only one example of how important it is to "innovate."
The overlooked word, namely "invigorate," may be the most important of them all. Innovation for innovation's sake is sure to lose its luster eventually if for no other reason than that it lacks purpose. And that is a pretty compelling reason. Invigorate, on the other hand, can and should be a driving force that impels organizations and networks forward to achieve their missions. Invigorate. Literally "to fill with life," or, alternately, "to put the life back into." All our innovations need to be focused on invigoration — first of senior nutrition programs (particularly those that are congregate) but foremost on the seniors they serve.
In other words, Congregate Nutrition Programs (CNP) need to give priority to putting the life back into those whose quality of life and health are at risk. That means redoubling efforts to reach and serve those seniors who suffer from "hunger and food insecurity," and thus affirming the first statutory purpose of the programs as articulated in the Older Americans Act. Invigorating the needy fulfills the entire community, both those who serve and those who receive.
Collaborate, Educate, Innovate, Invigorate. Those banners have given new meaning to the concept of sign language. And it's worth stopping for a moment on the busy road of our daily grinds to heed the message and translate it into action. Here at NFESH, we have. We invite you to join us and then help us wave a fifth banner. Commit.

— Susan in her suicide note, Cobalt
Susan Tran also known as "Su-Su" was the neighbor of the Clarks in Fear The Walking Dead. She appears in "The Dog" and is portrayed by Cici Lau.
Pre-Apocalypse Edit
Very little is known about Susan life before the apocalypse. She lived in El Sereno next to the Clarks, with her husband Patrick for several years. She was a good friend of Madison's. She looked after Nick and Alicia while Madison was at work and looked after Madison herself when her husband died.
The Dog EditSusan Tran killed herself and turned while her husband was away on business. Her death was probably due to a drugs overdose, as Alicia Clark sees an empty pill jar on Susan's table in Susan's otherwise spotless and tidy house. When Alicia goes to the Tran house to pick up the shotgun ammo, she sees an Infected Susan standing in the house, and escapes before she can be spotted. Infected Susan tries to attack Alicia while she is climbing over the fence, however is pulled away and saved by Christopher Manawa. After realizing that Matt Sale was infected in the same way as Susan, Alicia breaks down in tears, and says that Matt is one of those. Madison Clark watches Infected Susan reaching through the fence during the night, and asks Liza Ortiz that if she were to end up like Susan, that she would be the one to "take care of it", not Travis. Madison Clark tries to put down Susan with a hammer, but can't bring herself to do it. When her husband Patrick Tran returns home from a business trip, Madison and the family are leaving by car; Madison turns around as she cannot let a friend be killed. Madison rushes to Patrick and tries to call out to him to stay away, however he doesn't understand why. Susan begins to approach Patrick, and when Patrick is about to hug Susan, she is shot in the head by a Guardsman before she could bite her husband. Patrick clutches his wife's corpse, sobbing. Patrick is quarantined by the National Guard after this, because he was covered in her blood. Susan's body is placed in a body bag and thrown in the back of a truck, filled with other corpses.
Not Fade Away Edit
Alicia Clark returns to the Tran house and searches the house. In the master bedroom, Alicia takes a framed drawing off the wall. When we see the drawing, it shows that Alicia drew it and gave it to Susan. After, Alicia finds Susan's suicide note and reads it.
|Patrick. If you find this I'm sorry, if you find this I love you. I saw something today, something that horrified me. At first I thought it was unnatural, I thought it was an aberration. But I was wrong. What I saw was prophesied. What I saw was Godly, and I think it's overdue. I wish you were here but I will see you soon. And you will hold me. If you find this, I am sorry. If you find this, I love you.

Corrections to published articles
Taylor & Francis journal article correction and retraction policy
Every article published by a Taylor & Francis journal, or a Society journal published by us, either in the print issue or online, constitutes the Version of Record (VoR): the final, definitive, and citable version in the scholarly record (see NISO, 2008).
The VoR includes:
- The paper, revised and accepted following peer review, in its final form, including the abstract, text, references, bibliography, and all accompanying tables, illustrations, data.
- Any supplemental material.
Recognizing a published article as a finalized Version of Record establishes the expectation that it can be relied upon as accurate, complete, and citable. Wherever possible it is our policy to maintain the integrity of the Version of Record in accordance with STM Association guidelines:
"Articles that have been published should remain extant, exact, and unaltered to the maximum extent possible" (STM Guidelines on Preservation of the Objective Record of Science).
Because articles can be read and cited as soon as they are published, any changes thereafter could potentially impact those who read and cited the earlier version. Taylor & Francis is committed to upholding industry best practice, in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines when correcting the Version of Record.
All correction, expressions of concern and retraction notices are free to access at the point of publication.
What to do if my article contains an error?
We encourage readers and authors to notify us if they find errors, especially errors that could affect the interpretation of data or information presented in an article.
If, after reading the guidance, you believe a correction is necessary in your article, contact the journal's Production Editor, or contact us via this website.
Corrections to the Version of Record
Correction notice
Taylor & Francis distinguishes between major and minor errors.
- All major errors are accompanied by a separate correction notice. The correction notice should provide clear details of the error and the changes that have been made to the Version of Record. Under these circumstances Taylor & Francis will:
- Correct the online article.
- Issue a separate correction notice electronically linked back to the corrected version.
- Add a footnote to the article displaying the electronic link to the correction notice.
- Paginate and make available the correction notice in the online issue of the journal.
- Make the correction notice free to view.
- All minor errors will include a footnote on the article detailing to the reader that the article has been corrected. Minor errors do not impact the reader's understanding of the academic material.
Read our reference guide to the types of changes Taylor & Francis will correct, using a correction notice.
An addendum is a notification of an addition of information to an article, for example in response to a reader's request for clarification. Addenda do not contradict the original publication, but if the author inadvertently omitted significant information available at the time, this material can be published as an addendum. Addenda may be peer reviewed, according to journal policy, and are normally subject to oversight by the editors of the journal.
All addenda are electronically linked to the published article to which they relate.
Comment, response, and rejoinder correspondence
Comments are short articles which outline an observation on a published article. In cases where a comment on a published article is submitted to the journal editor, it will be subject to peer review. The comment will be shared with the authors of the published article, who are invited to submit a response.
This author response will be subject to peer review, and shared with the commentator, who is invited to submit a rejoinder. The rejoinder will be subject to peer review and shared with the authors of the published article. No further correspondence will be considered for publication.
All published comments, responses, and rejoinders are linked to the published article to which they relate.
Expressions of concern
Publication of an expression of concern notice may be considered if:
- There is inconclusive evidence of research or publication misconduct by the authors.
- There is evidence that the findings are unreliable but the authors' institution will not investigate the case.
- There is an investigation into alleged misconduct related to the publication that has not been, or would not be, fair and impartial or conclusive.
- An investigation is underway but a judgement will not be available for a considerable time.
The expression of concern will be linked back to the published article it relates to.
A retraction is a means to notify the community of unsound results or misconduct, following an investigation of the issue in question by Taylor & Francis and the editors of the journal. The purpose of retractions is to correct the literature and ensure its integrity rather than to punish individuals.
Retraction may be considered:
- If there is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of misconduct (e.g. data fabrication) or honest error (e.g. miscalculation or experimental error).
- If the findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper cross referencing, permission or justification (i.e. cases of redundant publication).
- If the research constitutes plagiarism.
- Where there is evidence of fraudulent authorship.
- If there is evidence of unethical research.
The COPE retraction guidelines can be found on the COPE website.
Where the decision has been taken to retract an article Taylor & Francis will:
- Add a "retracted" watermark to the published Version of Record of the article.
- Issue a separate retraction statement, titled 'Retraction: [article title]', that will be linked to the retracted article on Taylor & Francis Online.
- Paginate and make available the retraction statement in the online issue of the journal.
Article removal
In accordance with STM Association guidelines on preserving the integrity of the published Version of Record, Article removal is a rare occurrence in scholarly publishing. Taylor & Francis will consider removal of a published article from Taylor & Francis Online in very limited circumstances:
- If the article contains content that could pose a serious risk to health if followed or acted upon.
- If the article is defamatory or infringes other legal rights.
- If an article is subject to a court order.
In case of an article being removed from Taylor & Francis Online, a removal notice will be issued in its place.

Seasonal Menu Planning
How I reset my menu planning for the season, and how I use Plan to Eat to menu plan each week. I had to re-record the video due to an issue with my first version, so I think I forgot to mention all of the things I consider – seasonal or not. What's in the fridge. I try to clean the fridge out before I menu plan so that this is fresh in my mind. What's in the garden. We grow some of our own vegetables, so knowing what's......

Become Healthy From the Inside Out!
Our goal at Kinetic EFX & Wellness is to focus on becoming healthy from the inside out! Rather than masking your symptoms with a prescribed drug or lots of over the counter medications, we help you develop a new lifestyle to reach your optimal health and fitness goals. Our body's insides are like the underground roots of a tree, if the roots are well nourished and healthy, the tree above will appear healthy too. But if those roots do not get the proper nutrients and care they need, the tree will start to wither or show other signs of undernourishment.

I tried to figure out an average of how many boxes of tissues the law firms I have worked at went through on any given month. It's hard because we're talking boxes and boxes here. Usually they're picked up in those huge shrink-wrapped packages at the local Costco because otherwise it's just too expensive. I don't want to talk about tissues, here, though. What I want to do is try to analyze and categorize the kinds of crying and what they're actually telling you.
Now in the beginning I admit that I was still a normal person and I felt concern whenever someone started bawling in my office. I would act really sympathetic and try to comfort them, maybe run and go get their family to help with a really earnest look of concern on my face. Then after another twenty or thirty times of this I kind of thought maybe I was getting used, you know? Like some of these people were just pushing for pity or trying to get me to do something.
I started trying to analyze what they were doing. I looked for all those markers the psychologists say to use, like do they blink too much? Supposedly that means they're lying. Doth the lady protest too much? That's been a giveaway since the 1600's. Then after another 100 or so crying sessions – not me, you dummy, the clients – I started seeing the trends. It really got pretty obvious to me and I tried keeping notes. Who knows, maybe I thought that fifteen to twenty years later I would be telling you about those kinds of people. Hey, that kind of sounded like a prison sentence without parole.
Well, I should say right up front that I've seen so much of this crying stuff that I can't even fake the consolation anymore. I've gotten to the point that I don't think I can cry for myself, even if I wanted to. I just can't. All these people have just drained any feeling of good tears and sadness out of me. I don't think I'm alone here. Cops deal with this stuff all the time and we call them 'hardened' like it's a good thing. Maybe it's more of a defense mechanism, like cops and lawyers dodge so much of this stuff that we're just not capable of feeling it anymore.
Before you even try to tell me, I know that women cry easier than men, and women fake the crying business all the time to get what they want. I hear the fake other stuff, too. But with that in mind, remember that this list is based on a huge sample of people from all walks of life. I'm taking the 'women-cry-a-lot' thing into consideration.
Crying because they realized they screwed up
I certainly agree that there are some people out there who cry on their lawyer's shoulder because they realized they screwed up and are genuinely sorry. They may be sorry for themselves, or maybe for putting their family through all this mess. However, the whole thing has taught them a serious lesson. Their tears are real.
When you look in their eyes you can see that they learned from this whole thing. It's struck home and they grew as a person a little bit. The tears are their way of getting it out so they can move on. For a few minutes I kind of thought Lindsey Lohan was doing this when she was first sentenced. But then she got arrested a bunch more times, stole that necklace, drove drunk, hit somebody, and then tried to cry AGAIN in court.
Crying because they realized they can manipulate people like you
Which brings me to my second kind of crier. These are not like the authentic ones, because you're probably only going to meet one or two of those real criers in your entire life, if at all. Why is that, you ask? Because by the time you get to meet them they've gotten past the whole thing and the shock of getting arrested or sued. They're done crying. They're adults and they're moving on to dealing with the aftermath and so they're in your office to hire a lawyer.
If they're crying on your shoulder at this point then they're doing it to manipulate you like they do with their parents, brothers and sisters, neighbors, . . . well basically everybody in the world.
We have only ourselves to blame for this one, folks. Society taught them that if they cry, people in authority will run to their aid. It started with their kindergarten teachers, continued with middle school and their soccer coaches, then really got in full swing in high school when they realized they have real power. They learned during those years that if they failed a test or something they just go sob for a few minutes and they get to re-take it.
You, my friend, are just the next one in line to get the big teary eyes treatment. You're going to fall for it the first couple of times, at least. You will fight really hard in some worthless hearing just to help them. Your protective instinct is going to get riled up and you're not going to be able to help yourself. And then a week later the lawyer on the other side will hand you something like a follow-up police report or a newspaper clipping showing you that your client was lying up a storm and you got snookered.
Hopefully they will just laugh at you. You certainly don't want the Judge calling a conference and asking you pointed questions about whether you ran a background check before making your argument in court. This could be a violation of the second rule of lawyering which is that if somebody is going to jail after the hearing, you're supposed to make sure it's your client and not you. They're probably back in their favorite dirty biker bar telling everyone funny stories about the look on your face when they were lying to you about everything under the sun. I've never been in the joint but a weekend for contempt of court would really crimp your style with the secretaries back at the office.
Crying because they lost
These are the worst, even worse than the ones who lie to your face to manipulate you. I can't stand the ones who follow me back to the office just to cry because they lost. Boo, hoo. These people remind me of Tammy Faye Bakker crying through all that thick makeup after she and her husband got caught and suddenly the gravy train was over.
The reason I can't stand the losers who cry is because I've been telling them for months now that we have to get witnesses, do background checks, write up the timeline, etc. It never surprises me that we got surprised us in court with your former neighbors who testified about how bad you were. Oh, and all that jazz about the pictures they printed from your Facebook page weren't a surprise to me either. You deleted them like I told you to after our first meeting but things you put out there on the internet don't just disappear. You should have thought about the downside to posting topless pictures of you holding guns and drinking beer with your kids behind you on the sofa.
I can do good things but I can't work magic. I tell every single client about the risks of losing right from the first time I meet them. I explain as many of the ways of losing that I can think of and I keep lots of notes about what I said. You see, I know that when you lose you're going to follow me back to the office and want to cry and complain for a couple of hours. When you start getting mad and trying to turn your tears into the blame game, I'm going to pull out the file and go through the notes, line by line, showing you exactly how I thought things could go bad and what I told you to do to get prepared for it.
Besides, these criers don't know when to quit. They just keep going and going about the same things until they turn on me. They haven't processed the loss yet and it just goes around and around in their head. They go nuts for a couple of hours. Sometimes I kind of want to help them deal with it because I've had to go through losing a few here and there, too. The thing is that I just can't have them crying up a storm in the waiting room. I try to stick them in a conference room but they keep wandering loose and trying to come in my office. I'm on the phone or trying to talk to another client and here comes weepy, one of the worst of the seven dwarves. I can't drop everything going on in my office and take care of them, and staff has real work to do. Isn't this what psychologists are for? Besides, the retainer ran out right before lunch on the third day of the trial and you now don't have the money to pay me anymore. Stop dragging us down around here.
Crying because they don't know what to do
Why do people think they can come in my office and cry about what to do? Shut up and think for a minute. Stop crying and try using your head. If you did it more often you probably wouldn't be in my office. All that wailing and gnashing of teeth thing is interfering with your brain waves or something. It's preventing me from thinking, too. You can't talk to me about the details or let me think when you're asking for yet another box of tissues. You're just going on and on in some pseudo-hysterical way about how bad things are. Well stop it. This is wasting time and money. I don't mind billing you but I do mind the drivel about what should you do, over and over.
Plus, you remind me of my ex-wife. She was absolutely stupid about crying when she couldn't figure out what to do. Every time I tried to get her to think through the options with me it just set her off worse. I understand being upset and finding it tough to deal with things. But come on, people. Get it out of your system and start dealing with reality. I'm here to help and come up with solutions, not listen to you like some Freudian flack.
Crying because they want me to do free work
These criers don't bother me. They infuriate me. I don't have any paperweights or letter openers on my desk because I KNOW that sooner or later I would go postal on one of them. Do they really think that I'm such a sucker that I would go spend hours and days working for you for free just because you kept wiping your tears off my desk? I've heard so many hard luck stories that I just can't be impressed. If I started working for free for every person who told me some sad story and cried a lot I would be broke and living on the street, probably just like them. I run a business, people. I've never tried it but my landlord probably won't cut my rent just because I cry. They're lawyers, too.
I think the problem here is that too many of us lawyers pick up on a personal crusade and the word gets out. Bums come out of the woodwork because they think that you will take cases for free just because you hate cops or hate big business, or hate something else. These criers fan your flames to get what they want, which is usually revenge. They're like the manipulator criers but they're just trying to get out of paying us a huge amount of money to hurt somebody else.
You see, for lawyers it's like that old saying. In for a penny, in for a pound. Unless you get court permission to withdraw, you can't. You start working on a case and you might be stuck seeing it through to the end. These criers know that and they're trying suck you in. Every second you waste on their case is a second you could be earning five cents working for something else. What's that? You think five cents per second doesn't sound like much? Well for you math challenged people out there it comes out to $3 a minute. That $180 per hour, people. That guy pumping gas into your second-hand Lexus your parents gave you so you look fancy makes .0025 cents per second. Now that's something to cry about.

Catcha Media has proposed to acquire the entire equity interest of Singapore's Haute Groupe Pte Ltd (HGPL) for a total consideration of S$5 million (RM12.4 million), to be satisfied in cash and via new shares.
HGPL runs a luxury fashion sales website, Hauteavenue.com, operating predominantly in Singapore with 25,000 active users.
The proposed acquisition comes with a profit guarantee of S$1.5 million (for a 12-month period commencing after conclusion of the exercise) from the previous shareholders, Long Siew Fong and Low Choong Lang.
This values the acquisition at a three times forward price-earnings ratio (PER), which we deem cheap. HGPL was initially set up to sell luxury goods at a discount for a limited time in warehouses or public halls.
Early 2011, it began operating a luxury flash sales website, www.hauteavenue.com, which sells luxury goods online at a discount for a limited time-frame. The website offers up to a 70% discount on luxury items ranging from branded accessories, handbags to watches and sunglasses.
The purchase consideration will be partly satisfied by the issuance of 1.6 million new shares in Catcha Media at 75 sen each, with the remainder to be paid in cash. This could indicate a potential earnings per share (EPS) dilution of 1%, which deem insignificant to have any impact on the share price given the new acquisition's earnings accretion of more than 30%.
Cash funding should not be an issue given the company's recent IPO which raised more than RM15 million.
While this marks Catcha Media's first venture into e-commerce, the strategy is intended to complement its existing business by introducing the exact model in Malaysia leveraging on the strong 10 million active users recorded in MSN and Lowyat.net portals.

Students will learn how to create working models of atoms, identify the component parts, and give examples of how they are used.
March 26, 2018
Sample Atomic Lesson
Student Presents his Atomic Model Of Hydrogren in Class
What are the basic components of a working atom?
What can atoms form together to create?
How can a model help us visualize something that cannot ordinarily be seen?
Students may use the video provided to view a sample, student-created, atomic model.
Students will select an atom to create in Minecraft. Students must decide on an appropriate scale model for their atom. For example, 1 electron, in the form of a Minecart, will equal a 2 x 2 x 2 cube of blocks to form either a proton or neutron. A atom with a smaller atomic mass should have a larger ratio, 3 x 3 x3, etc.
Students will build a working model of an atom using 1 type of block for protons, 1 type of block for neutrons, and minecarts for electrons. I recommend using powered rails, placed on top of redstone blocks to keep the minecrafts moving at all times. Students will determine the number of Minecarts per shell and may need to create several paths around the Nucleus.
Students will research the history of their atom and display that information either via NPC or Fact Wall, using Signs or Boards. Students will List the atoms atomic number, mass, and weight, either via the fact wall, NPC, or through a build.
Students will list at least two example uses of that atom in the form of a build/model.
Challenge: Turn your atom into a Parkour Map or Speed Run!
Students may do a gallery walk and tour each other's atoms at the end of the project or present to the entire class via a Projector. Students will take notes, either via paper, a worksheet, or signs/boards in Minecraft, listing important facts about peers atoms and builds.
Students will build a working atomic model and be able to indentify the atoms atomic number and mass, as well as uses and facts. Students will identify facts about classmates atoms as well.

Unstoppable Wasp #3 Review
Writer: Jeremy Whitley
Artists: Gurihiru
Cover Artist: Stacy Lee
Letters: Joe Caramagna
Graphic Designer: Carlos Lao
Previously in Unstoppable Wasp…
As Nadia Van Dyne struggled with the question of what Janet & Jarvis could be keeping from her regarding her father Hank Pym, Janet took Nadia out for a night on the town. After defeating a strange glob of sentient slime, the pair meet up with Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird) and Ying to watch a wrestling match with former Wasp foes-turned G.I.R.L security Poundcakes & Letha. After a fun match and a bonding moment between Bobbi and Ying, the group returns to G.I.R.L to find the lab under siege by A.I.M!
Summary with limited spoilers
Picking up immediately where the previous issue ended, Nadia & Ying charge directly into the building to rescue their friends. Janet and Bobbi chase after Nadia, while Poundcakes and Letha follow Ying. After Nadia dispatches the A.I.M guards on the roof, Bobbi & Janet catch up to her, but Nadia continues to barrel into G.I.R.L, adamant that if any of the A.I.M forces have hurt her friends, they will pay. While this is going on, Poundcakes and Letha continue to follow Ying's trail of unconscious A.I.M soldiers, leading them into the path of a mysterious woman referred to only as "Brilliance", who sends her A.I.M guards at the wrestling duo. Cutting to the stairwell, Seeker has taken Lashayla hostage, wanting her portal tech in A.I.M's hands. Ying tracks the two down, as the comic then moves back to Nadia, having located both Taina and her sister Alexis. The pair has been attacked by Finesse (former Avengers Academy student of Hank Pym's), as she's after the Vision-gloves Taina made. Nadia tries to fight off Finesse, but the daughter of Taskmaster proves to be too much, knocking Nadia down and stealing her size-changing gloves. She blasts Tania as a distraction, Nadia needing to shrink down and rescue Tania as Finesse makes her escape with the Vision-gloves. Cutting back to the stairwell, Seeker tries to convince Ying to back off, warning that something terrible is coming, but Ying is undeterred. Lashayla uses this distraction to activate Seeker's jet-boots, sending her flying up the stairwell. After a moment of the two gleefully reuniting and solidifying their relationship as girlfriends, they run off to help their friends. As Seeker, Brilliance, Finesse and strangely Priya make their way to the rooftop, they run into Bobbi and Janet. Needing one more distraction so they can escape on their A.I.M blimp, Brilliance throws a capsule at the two Avengers, filled with slime similar to the blob-monster Janet and Nadia fought earlier in the evening. Bobbi & Janet are both knocked off the building, and A.I.M successfully retreats. The comic returns to inside the lab, with Nadia having successfully rescued Taina, and reuniting with Lashayla & Ying. But they still haven't found Priya…
Opinions on story and art
After the fun, crazy action & humour of the previous issue, this one is much more serious and the action much more intense. This is A.I.M showing G.I.R.L just what they're capable of, and it's done very effectively. Jeremy Whitley's dialogue & plotting remain perfectly executed, managing to craft an incredibly dire mood over the whole comic, while still allowing for the odd bit of levity, between Janet & Bobbi's mocking of Clint Barton-Hawkeye and Lashayla & Ying's nervous admitting of neither of them knowing how to proceed with their relationship, It's endearing beyond words and incredibly cute. The addition of two new A.I.M recruits with Brilliance and Finesse is very intriguing. The former adds some mystery to the comic in regards to who she is and what she gets out of aiding A.I.M (not to mention sporting a fantastic design), while the latter creates an interesting dynamic for Nadia. As someone who studied under Hank, Finesse knows him a lot better than Nadia, and she's very effectively demonstrated to be more than a match for Nadia's skills on a physical level. There's also the added question of why Priya seemed to leave G.I.R.L with A.I.M, and what that could mean for Nadia's growing trust issues.
The artwork remains absolutely gorgeous, with the fight between Nadia and Finesse being the stand-out moment of the comic. Gurihiru makes Finesse both slick & deadly and conveying her cocky personality brilliantly. I especially enjoyed her twirling the hockey stick she disarmed from Alexis around as she taunted Nadia.
The lettering from Joe Carmagna remains clear & precise, never once feeling out of place, while conveying the needed urgency of a given scene when required, such as Taina's desperate cry for help echoing through the vents Nadia flies through.

45 POUNDS (MORE OR LESS) by K.A. Barson will be released on July 11, 2013. DISCLAIMER: The author has agreed to be featured in today's Marketing Monday, and may or may not use any of the ideas below. Upon request, the author provided a few key images, quotes, and themes from the book as thought starters.
Offer up ideas and suggestions that the author could use to help create buzz for 45 POUNDS (MORE OR LESS) for the book's launch. See the description on Goodreads.
The best marketing ideas are tied closely to the audience and the product that you are trying to market, especially when it comes to a product launch. The marketing tactic should make you think of the product while appealing to the people you are trying to reach. This is the lens I use when developing a marketing plan for a book.
From the description of 45 POUNDS (MORE OR LESS), I can tell that the book is going to have a lot of humor and heart. In the book, Ann is a size 17, and she's determined to lose weight in order to fit into a bridesmaid dress for her aunt's wedding. Positive body image is a major theme, along with a desire to fit in. A lot of these ideas were born out of that.
Bridesmaid Dress Tumblr/Pinterest
Bridesmaid dresses are a key image in the novel. Most women and many teen girls have tales of ugly dresses they were called on to wear for a loved one. And most of these dresses have been recorded for posterity. The author has the opportunity to create a tumblr account that invites readers to submit photos of themselves wearing bridesmaid dresses, along with a quick caption. To get the Tumblr started, she could ask friends, family and fellow authors to help get things moving. She could expand it to include prom dresses without straying from her theme. The results – humorous – would fit with the tone of the book, and this is a nice way to sell the book by tying into its subject matter. The site should be reflective of the book's cover. This would also work as a cross-post on Pinterest.
Launch Day Celebration
The author mentioned that the "Thriller" dance is featured in the book. She could ask friends, family members, and fellow authors to film themselves doing the dance. The sections could be edited together into one big celebration video to promote the book's official launch. Here's an example of a similar video.
The author mentioned a couple of great food items that she will give out as swag. These are great as they are relevant to the book, which means they will resonate with readers. The only downside of food (is there a downside?) is that it's not an item that will linger around to remind people to buy your books. Another swag idea might be to order small pocket or compact mirrors imprinted with a positive message. For a tighter budget, she might consider stickers that have a positive message (ie. You are beautiful.). I designed a couple to give her ideas.
At book events, conventions, and store events, the authors dressed in costume tend to get a lot of attention. Several author friends dress in Victorian or steampunk garb and have mentioned that it makes for a great icebreaker and way to draw attention to their book at the event. If the author is comfortable, she might consider wearing a bridesmaid gown to her events (one that is obviously meant as a costume). It could make for a great conversation starter with teachers, librarians, and readers, plus she is showcasing the humor in the book.
Clothing Swap Book Events
Everybody has clothes they no longer wear and one woman's tossaways are another's new wardrobe. The author has the chance to draw in a bigger audience to her events by holding clothing swaps. Invite teens to bring in their clothes, jewelry and shoes for the chance to swap items with other girls. It's a great opportunity to discuss body image and talk about 45 POUNDS (MORE OR LESS). TLC's tips on hosting clothing swap parties.
Anonymous "Like You As You Are" Notes and Cards
The author could create templates of notes that teens could leave each other in their lockers or desks. Similar to notes that parents drop in their kids' lunch boxes, these notes could be used to give your friend a boost when they need it most. Downloadable templates could be offered for teens to print out and use. Another option would be to create e-cards (think someecards) that could be shared online. (Note: this could end up being cheesy if it's not done right. If the notes were written in the tone of the book, it could be really well done.)
"Dress the Dressing Room" Contest
Dressing rooms are another key image in the book. Who hasn't gone in a dressing room and left feeling unhappy with their body? The author could create little feel-good notes to be "dropped" in dressing rooms. People could print out the notes (which include the title and author's name), post them in a dressing room, and snap a shot of the note for a chance to win books or other prizes. This way the person seeing the note feels good, and the book is introduced to a new audience. This is definitely a guerrilla tactic, and a variation on "spot my book in the wild."
I've worked in marketing for ten years, and prior to that, I was a graphic designer for eight years. The first Monday of each month I will discuss different marketing tactics for publishers and writers. Some weeks I will be preparing case studies of new releases and offering up launch solutions to help spark ideas for authors. If you are a debut young adult author and would like to be considered for a Marketing Monday case study, please use my contact form to let me know.

Ancient Dolphin-like Ichthyosaurs Wiped Out by Climate Change
Climate change may have sealed the fate of marine reptiles that ruled the oceans for 157 million years, suggests an analysis of fossils.
Climate change sealed the fate of ichthyosaurs, marine reptiles that ruled the oceans for 157 million years, suggests an analysis of fossils.
The dolphin-like animals died out some 30 million years before the mass dinosaur extinction at the end of the Cretaceous 66 million years ago.
Vertebrate palaeontologist Dr Valentin Fischer, who led the research, published today in Nature Communications, said that the extinction of ichthyosaurs, which were extremely well adapted to oceanic life, was a long-standing enigma.
Search Heats Up For What Wiped Out Ichthyosaurus
A number of hypotheses have previously been proposed to explain the ancient marine reptiles disappearance, including increased competition from other marine reptiles and fish and the decline of their main food source, squid-like belemnites, said Dr Fischer of the University of Oxford.
Over time, these pressures would have reduced species diversity, allowing relatively minor events to tip them into extinction.
"These theories were at odds with the recent understanding of the ichthyosaur fossil record, which suggests they were actually quite diverse prior to their extinction," he said.
"We wanted to analyse this extinction thoroughly and look for possible alternative drivers."
Ancient Sea Monsters Were Black
The researchers analysed teeth from museum collections as well as a number of newly discovered fossils from Russia.
They then correlated their results with geological evidence of sea surface temperatures and other environmental indicators to estimate ichthyosaur diversity over a 150-million year period.
"We found they were in fact very diverse during the last part of their reign; their extinction was thus a profound, rather abrupt event in the history of a successful group," said Dr Fischer.
Fossil Links Dolphin-Like Dino To Amphibious Past
Instead, their demise was associated with strong fluctuations in sea levels and temperatures during what is known as the Cenomanian stage of the upper Cretaceous period, 100 million to 94 million years ago.
"It seems that a large part of the marine biosphere was affected by an event or a series of rapid events that profoundly modified marine ecosystems," he added.
"These events coincided with profound climatic changes: fast-moving continents, intense volcanism, ice-free poles and episodes of anoxia (lack of oxygen) on the sea floor."
During this turbulent period, Dr Fischer said ichthyosaurs failed to take advantage of the novel opportunities presented by their rapidly changing world, by evolving new species.
Motorboat-Sized Predator Swam In Jurassic Scotland
Changes in food availability, migratory routes, competitors, or the lack of safe birthing places may all have contributed to their downfall.
"Some groups evolved to take advantage of these new, highly fluctuating conditions while others, like ichthyosaurs, did not."
But Australian ichthyosaur researcher Dr Benjamin Kear was cautious about the study's conclusion, which was based on the description of various new ichthyosaur species, mainly from European deposits.
'Fish Lizard' Graveyard Discovered Under Melting Glacier
"While this taxonomic proliferation does infer periods of higher diversity, it is restricted by the relatively small area of globally explored outcrops, especially in the southern hemisphere," said Dr Kear, who is currently the curator of vertebrate palaeontology at Uppsala University's Museum of Evolution.
"This means that our sampling is very incomplete, both in terms of geography and time - which limits clarity of the results.
"Having said that, this research opens an exciting new line of inquiry that will fuel further investigations into the ichthyosaur extinctions and the emergence of modern marine predators such as sharks and bony fish during the Cretaceous," said Dr Kear, who was not involved in the study.
An ichthyosaur (top) makes its way in the ancient sea.
We all enjoy a tall tale. Cultures with seafaring traditions are especially ripe in what seem like the tallest sea monster tales of all: hydra, kraken, sirens, scylla, leviathans, assorted serpents and mermaids. Usually the stories are never confirmed and deemed baseless. Then again, some of the tales are based on something. With our skeptical hats on, let's have a look at sea monsters both real and fanciful. We begin with a story that went viral just this week, about a supposed monster that revealed itself during a swim in the Thames River. A
bump in the water, filmed from overhead, started it all. But you'll have to judge for yourself: Real or fake? Watch the video and read
on the tale.
In keeping with our subject of monsters of the deep, we also learned this week that at least
really can, and will, use their heads for ramming -- just as the fictional Moby Dick did, in the Herman Melville classic of the same name. Did whales perfect the head-butt long before people started banging heads?
Sea monsters are truly global, of course. This one from Japan serves as the villain for the classic maiden in distress, who awaits rescue by her hero. The poor monsters are almost always cast as the bad guys. And so they usually end hacked to pieces; fish food. But is there any truth behind these sea serpent tales?
Maybe it's the oarfish. It looks too monstrous to be true. It can grow many meters long, has strikingly bright silver scales, scarlet fins and some ornate headgear that more than explains why some call it a roosterfish. If only it were a reptile, it'd be a true sea serpent. Alas. It is a fish. A very weird and beautiful fish, but still a fish.
There are also other, newfound "sea serpents" our sea-going ancestors never imagined. This one was spotted by a satellite coiling off the south coast of Japan's Hokkaido island. What do we know about it? 1) It's arguably one of the largest organisms on Earth, 2) It swallows ships, engulfs islands and generally does what it wants, and 3) We're darned lucky it's made of plankton.
Monster Goldfish Found in Lake Tahoe
Research into such massive blooms and the individual plankton cells that comprise them has revealed surprising cooperation among the microorganisms. They appear to operate like more than just floating individual cells. They live and die for the greater good, it seems. So they may be, in fact, a gigantic watery superorganism. Now that's a cool monster for you: You can swim in it and never know you've been in the belly of a beast.
Mermaids and mermen have always been the stuff of fantasy. Where did the fantasies come from? There are some standard answers to this question, which have always seemed rather inadequate. For instance ... (next slide, if you please) ...
The manatee has often been called the source of mermaid myths. It's a mammal, so it breathes air. But who would ever mistake a manatee for a sleek and beautiful mermaid? Could it be love-starved sailors with poor eyesight? There was no shortage of these fellows in the days before optometrists.
Another possibility is that merfolk were inspired by fish with roughly human-looking faces, like this fellow. Some fish can look humanoid. That would be enough to get superstitious sailors started.
First Face? Prehistoric Fish Was a Jaw-Dropper
How about giant, ship-destroying squid and octopi? These monsters were old hat even to the easily freaked-out. Most folks figured they were historical exaggerations. That's until some very large and unusual squids started washing up or being hauled in by marine biologists in recent years. Colossal squid are meters long, pretty amazing beasts. Still, they have never been known to lift ships out of the water. And since were on the topic of squids ...
Do you remember when this one hit the headlines? It's not so gigantic, at four meters long, but it was observed 3,380 meters down in the Pacific Ocean near Oahu. It's pretty big to have gone unseen before its May 2001 discovery. So what else is out there? It's pretty clear marine biologists have only just begun discovering what lives in the deep sea. The more time they spend searching, the more they will find. But none would dispute that the nastiest sea monster to ever rise out of the sea is ... (drum roll please) ...
You might have guessed it: Human garbage. Yep. It's the ugliest, most alien-looking, fatal and pervasive monster in the seas. Garbage patches have been getting a lot of attention lately. These are areas on the seas where currents and winds tend to concentrate floating garbage.

Is Your SEO & Social Marketing Just Putting Lipstick on a Conversion Pig?
To put "lipstick on a pig" is a rhetorical expression, used to convey the message that making superficial or cosmetic changes is a futile attempt to disguise the true nature of of something. I'm using it here to convey the thought that too much focus on traffic building tactics can be a diversion from a much more core problem.
Here's what I mean. In nearly all cases the best result of both SEO and Social Marketing is getting more visitors to your website. More visitors are great, but…
The purpose of your website is not to simply receive visitors from Google and Social Networks. The purpose of your website is to CONVERT visitors into leads and customers.
SEO and Social Marketing are tactics used to deliver quality visitors to your website. If your website fails at its job, in other words if your website is a pig, no amount of traffic will be enough. The lipstick just won't turn a pig into a beauty.
There are many things that affect how well a website converts quality visitors into leads and/or customers.
Here's a 4 Point Conversion Optimization Checklist:
1. Your OFFER. What action are you asking your visitors to take? Is it compelling? Have you created urgency? Have you made the BENEFITS easy to understand? Is your offer easy to say yes to? If your visitors are not taking the action you want them to take check to make sure that they really want what you are offering. Consider changing the action at the top of your conversion funnel.
2. VISIBILITY. If your visitors are not seeing what you are offering they are not going to act on it. Is your "call to action" lost in other content or in your navigation? Get a FREE "Eye Tracking Heatmap" of your website to see what your visitors are seeing when they visit your website. Change your layout of your visitors are not seeing your most important information.
3. CORE MESSAGE. Why you? Is it clear to your visitors why they should use your services or buy your products? Have you removed distractions and "extra information" from your website/landing pages? If your core message does not allow your visitors to easily understand how you are different from your competitors they are likely not to convert.
4. TRUST. Are you using security icons, a rating system, verifiable recommendations, a money back, or better than money back guarantee or other tactics to establish trust with your visitors?
In many ways your website is like a "salesperson" and it must be evaluated in the same way. At the end of the day, or week, or month, or quarter, whatever, at some point it's all about production. Is your website productive? Is it converting prospects to customers? If not, or if not as well as it should be, stop pouring resources into getting more visitors to the site and focus on the website conversion elements.
