Andrews, Texas TESOL Online & Teaching English Jobs
This unit introduces how to create a lesson plan and the importance of lessoning planning, particularly for new inexperienced teachers. In particular this unit made me aware of the planning : teaching ratio. Each lesson you teach may only be 1 hour, but in order for that 1 hour to run smoothly and achieve student learning objectives, I think a planning : teaching ratio of 1:1 is necessary. At the very least it was clear from the sample lesson plans provided in this unit that a smooth, engaging, enjoyable and overall successful lesson does not come together on the spot.

Strong content is the foundation of a powerful SEO campaign. Make sure that your expert knows how to generate content that brings results.

Local search is very important if you operate a local small business. You'll want to have a consultant that is familiar with these tactics and can implement them for your business.
Ask what types of other Denver businesses they have created local SEO campaigns for, and inquire about how successful the campaigns were.
You need to know how things change and fluctuate from month to month.

You've heard of SEO. Maybe you're even convinced that it will work for your business. But despite your knowledge, you're probably as to why it's so powerful.
That's why we're here today.
I want to show you the reasons you need to buy.
An investment in strong Denver SEO services can change your business and your life. As you rise through the ranks on search engines, you'll see many benefits start to accumulate.
And if you need any more reasons that that, then keep reading!
As a business owner, you must constantly make investment decisions. And if you're like me, you want to find something that will pay off in the long run.
That's exactly what SEO does.
In fact, it not only pays off, but solid SEO is an investment with a high return. Don't consider it just another fee you have to pay. Look at it for what it truly is: an investment you can't pass up.
When you rank well in search engines, it increases your brand strength. People begin to recognize your business and click through to your website.
It's a unique opportunity to connect with new people.
We live in an age where people want to connect with the businesses they purchase from. That's why it's more important than ever to support your marketing efforts with strong branding. And SEO can help make that happen.
Every time a user searches for something on Google, they have an intent. It generally falls into one of four categories:
It's important to invest in SEO because it provides insight into this intent. That means that you can develop landing pages, blog posts and web pages that convert. Trust me, both the search engine and the user will thank you for it.
Not all SEO services are created equal. It depends on your current needs and budget. But the great thing is that you can find a service level that works for you, regardless.
Our monthly SEO services come in three packages. You'll be able to find exactly the right type of service that fits your needs.
Are you willing to invest in Denver SEO services that will take your business to the next level? If so, contact us today! We'd love to discuss your options and set you up with exactly the right services you need.
Here at FirestarterSEO, we believe in providing high-quality monthly SEO packages for our clients. These contracts serve as an integral part of your SEO strategy. Without it, you'll fail to achieve the types of rankings your business needs.
If you want to move forward and dominate search rankings, then you need this kind of service. The search engines don't stop evolving their algorithm, so businesses can't afford to halt their SEO strategy.
Consider the following reasons to invest in monthly SEO packages:
Those are just a few of the reasons that you should make this kind of investment. At the end of the day, it's all about executing the right monthly tasks to rise in the rankings.
Are you ready to make a difference in your business? Would you like to increase traffic, conversion and revenue? If so, it's time to take the leap. Contact us today to discuss our powerful monthly SEO packages. We'd love to hear from you!
When we develop a keyword strategy for any of our clients, we take a customer-first approach. Before we can dive deep into your SEO services package, we must first conduct keyword research to determine the relevant keywords we should be helping you rank for. These are ultimately the list of words and phrases your customers will be typing into the search engine to find you. We use research criteria based on your niche, target market, competition, and keyword search volume.
This is a part of the process many people get lost in, simply because there are mounds of data to wade through. But at the end of the day, we have to remember one thing: the customer always comes first.
If you focus solely on the keywords you think are relevant to your business, your SEO strategy is setup for failure from the beginning. The customer-first approach is the only way you're going to see a real ROI on your SEO services.
Think about who your customers really are. Take the time to develop buyer personas, also known as customer avatars, for each segment of your target market. These will give you a clearer picture of who your ideal customers are – to make it easier to conduct keyword research and develop website copy, content marketing assets, and so forth. Buyer personas can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be, based on your products or services. Get started by asking questions like:
Once you have a clear idea of who your prospect is, put yourself in their shoes. With their pain points and challenges in mind, take it a step further and brainstorm the kinds of questions they'll ask when they're looking for what you offer. This helps you find the keywords that offer solutions, which brings more qualified leads, which increases the chance of making the sale.
Brainstorming this list of questions helps you come up with ideas for content that can help you rank for the various keywords – while also addressing the common questions and objections your prospects may have. Plus, you can search and see what kind of content is out there from your competition, to find ways to make yours more thorough and complete.
User Intent makes all the difference in the success your website. If you're ranking for a vague keyword like red shoes that's one thing, but if you're ranking for red shoe store in Colorado then you've got user intent – the reason behind their searching.
User intent generally falls into one of three categories:
The ideal keyword strategy will have a mix of these keywords, as you'll have people who are looking to buy at the same time as you'll have people who want more information about the products or services you offer. When we pull your keyword list, we'll let you know which keywords fall into which category of user intent, so you can craft content that matches.
When you know what they intend to do with the search you know how to tailor your content and messaging on your website. If you speak to their initial intent, you have a great chance of converting them to a paying customer. But, if you rank for a transactional keyword and send your users to informational content, you're disregarding intent – which leads to unhappy searchers.
Keywords aren't confined to the initial on-site SEO optimization. You'll use them throughout your monthly SEO strategy in a variety of ways, including:
Knowing where they come from will help you prepare to monitor these keywords in a variety of ways.
If they come to you from social media – it's important to know which post they're coming from. If they're coming from an offer you posted on your page, then they may be ready to buy. But if they're coming to a blog post, they may just want more information.
Everything you do on your website and as part of your SEO and online marketing strategy must consider your customer first. They are who you want to connect with, and who you want to keep happy. If you take any action without considering how it will impact them, you could be making a huge mistake that affects your profit margin. That's why part of our customer first approach means focusing on who your business's customers are.
Do you understand your customer on this kind of level? Could you benefit from a deeper SEO strategy? If so, contact us today! We'd love to discuss how we can turn your website into a revenue machine.
In the search engine optimization world, rankings are everything. Everyone wants to be number one. They want to be on top. Well, it turns out the elements used by SEO experts to optimize websites are also ranked. When it comes time to rank a website, Google and other search engines leverage certain SEO elements more than others. So what element takes the number one spot? Title tags. Sure enough, title tags are the single most important on-page SEO element.
So read closely my friends, as you are about to learn the anatomy of a perfectly optimized title.
Seeing as the title is the most important on-page SEO element, you definitely want to use your keyword within it. However, there is such a thing as overusing and abusing your keyword. We refer to this as keyword stuffing. So how do you effectively use your keyword without overusing it?
So there you have it, the anatomy of a perfectly optimized title. If you take the time to follow these steps, you are bound to have success in title writing. It is not hard to do, but it does take some time and effort. So go ahead, put these steps to the test. You won't be sorry!
Connect with Nicole Smith on Google+
Rumor has it that for the past few months Google has been working on a new penalty that targets sites that overly optimize for search engines. Basically, the idea is to reward sites that have valuable content over sites that have low-quality content but rank higher because of more effective SEO. Google has always frowned upon websites that abuse SEO tactics to optimize sites while ignoring quality content and user value. Especially within the last few years, Google has encouraged webmasters to provide original, rich content instead of solely using insider tricks to improve search engine rankings. Only recently has there been talk of actually penalizing the sites. During a panel hosted by Search Engine Land in mid-March, Google's Matt Cutts announced that Google is working on a search ranking penalty for sites that are "over-optimized." However, Google has not officially made any statements about the potential upcoming penalty.
Being in the business of SEO, I'd imagine that many of my peers have mixed feelings on the issue. Personally, I fully agree with the principle of continually creating useful web content for users, but my business is also built on the backbone of utilizing SEO practices to improve website visibility. I believe the correct philosophy is a good combination of both worlds: content and technology. In other words, to apply the principle of providing valuable, original content along with smart and fair techniques that improve search engine optimization. Although SEO might bring a customer to your website, good content should keep them at the site and motivate them to come back. When I approach clients with my plan of action, my ideas include ways to improve or create valuable web content. What are your thoughts? Should businesses have their rankings penalized for using insider tricks to bypass quality content? google adsense banned .

If you are selling your house, there is good news for you. According to the recent real estate sales figure from the National Association of Realtors there are more buyers than the seller, in other words there is limited inventory in the real estate market. Selling your house is your own decision and it is not entirely based on market condition such as limitation of inventory, however, it is also true that you should hit the iron when it is hot, in other words you should sell your house when the houses are on demand.
If you are considering selling your house, you should put house for sale immediately because real estate experts say that the year 2017 is going to be the year of the home seller. According to one real estate agent, "In the last two years sellers were on back seat, however, this year they are on the front seat."
If you are on the side of home seller, here are couple of reasons why you should put a house for sale sign in your front yard.
Low Mortgage Rates: These days mortgage rates are low. When the mortgage rates are low, monthly expenses are destined to become low. When the cost is low, buyers are always attracted.
Shortages of Inventory: Currently, the real estate market is experiencing a low supply of houses for sale. When there is a low supply, the demand is always high, and high demand always creates high price.
Rising Home Prices: The prices of home have gone up because there is a shortage of houses in the real estate market. When the house price goes up it is a signal for home owners to sell their home. If your house was priced lower during the recession, the table has been turned upside down for you. Now your house will fetch better price.
Better Job Market: Now the job market is strengthening, which means unemployment rates have gone down. When people are employed and they are earning better, consumer confidence is bound to improve. When consumers' confidence is increased, it will attract buyers. Confident people are always interested in investing in property.
If you are thinking to sell your house, this is the right time to sell your house. Your house and you makes good money. However, you must also be aware about the fact that there is also bad news for you, the seller. If you are thinking to reinvest in the property, then you will also have to pay high price for the property. But then there is also another option for you. You can rent a house instead of buying again. You can buy a house of your own when the market settles and you get your house for the best price. When the housing market is high, renting is better option compared to buying.
Now that we have told you about the condition of housing market, you go and sell your house outright.
Still confused? You have a better option though.
The real estate market is low on supply and the home prices have gone high and you have decided to sell your house. It is very likely that you cannot jumpstart and sell your home outright. You are a home owner and not an expert on the real estate market. You almost have zero experience in selling your home. Here lies the importance of getting help from experts who have many years experience.
We are real estate experts having many years experience. For many years we have helped home owners to sell their homes and make most of their transaction. We analyze the market situation, we evaluate your property and give you proper advice on the right time to sell your house, right price for your home, and find the right buyer for you.

Snoop Dogg and his venture firm, Casa Verde Capital, recently invested in a California-based weed-delivery startup company. Eaze, which is based out of San Francisco, aims to be the Uber of weed delivery and has already secured $10 million in funding.
According to the New York Post, the size of the investment made by Snoop wasn't made public, but Eaze doesn't seem to have a hard time finding investors. The company, which was started in July, raised $1.5 million in November and so far has made 30,000 deliveries of medical marijuana. As part of its efforts to expand, Eaze plans to hire 50 new people in 50 days because of the number of states that have now legalized marijuana. Eaze also promises its customers that it will make deliveries in less than 10 minutes.
Weed has become a big business since being legalized in many areas, and more companies are trying to find ways to profit from states like Alaska, Colorado and Washington, as well as Washington, D.C. One can only imagine the competition that will eventually pop up.

Food Scrap Friday
For families at Camdenville Public School, Food Scrap Friday is a way to recycle food waste into soil-enriching compost. They simply bring their kitchen scraps to the Laura street school gate on Friday mornings, where volunteers collect them and take them to Camdenville Paddock Community Garden for composting. Each week as many as 40 school families are contributing.
Food Scrap Friday began in October 2016, and as of December 2019 we have collected and composted over 16990kg of kitchen waste - enriching our gardens, keeping food out of landfill, and preventing an estimated 32 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
In February 2019, Food Scrap Friday was featured on ABC Gardening Australia. Watch the story here.

The book that got me out of my reading slump! I started this the other day and finished it all last night. I was so into the book I didn't even take notes, or think about what I wanted to blog about, I just focused on reading and enjoying the story. I think that's good to do, because sometimes before I would catch myself reading and only focusing on what I would put into my book review, and not really focus on the story. I had to stop and remember the reason I created this blog was because I enjoy writing, and reading, and it should never become a chore or something I feel like I HAVE to do. That said, I loved this book so much and of course I'm going to review it! 😉
Check it out on Goodreads.
I LOVE Kate White. I've read all of her Bailey Weggins mysteries in the series except for the newest one. Her books are full of suspense, romance, and a bad-A heroine. "Eyes on You" is a stand alone that follows the story of Robin Trainer, a successful author and TV anchor. When mysterious things start happening to Robin following her successes, she begins to feel like she's going crazy and has to get to the bottom of who's pulling all these horrible stunts on her?? Props to Ms. White because I did not figure out who the bad person was until the very end when it was actually revealed. I kept going back and forth between suspects and even questioning Robin herself (like she does, you'll understand when you read it).
Ms. White developed all the characters superbly. Robin is a sexy, successful woman, but she appreciates the help of a knight in shining armor, and isn't on a high horse about her success. She knows she is awesome, but she also knows her bounds and not get a huge ego. My other favorite character was Alex. A handsome, somewhat mysteriously vague coworker, I found myself at times questioning his innocence, but ultimately enjoyed the growing relationship between he and Robin.
Overall, a fast paced, exciting, keep you guessing read once again by Kate White! I can't wait to read another by her. Have you read any of Kate White's books? Also, have you ever felt the same way about reading/writing/blogging? Let me know in the comments! 🙂

Jamming with Jazz at Sugar House Coffee
Apr 08, 2016 09h54
● By Elizabeth Suggs
By Elizabeth Suggs | [email protected]
Sugar House - Every Thursday for the past 10 years, Jazz Jam has played at Sugar House Coffee.
Sugar House Coffee Manager Emily Potts says the jam sessions are a way to support local musicians by enabling a place for people to play. The group usually sticks with the same core people, but other musicians are more than welcome to join the group. According to Jim Guss, guitarist, it's not uncommon to cycle through different musicians.
"When I started I was the newcomer," Guss said. "Things were handed off to me and now we have a new crop."
Guss started three years ago and like Jake Bills, bassist, and Chris Petty, drummer, who were present at the jam session, has no plans to stop.
Currently, Guss is chief executive officer of Consonus Music Institute, director of the Salt Lake Jazz Festival and general partner of Next Stage Partners.
Like Guss, Bills has a continued interest in the music industry through his work outside of his performances. Bills started at Sugar House Coffee because it was one of the only places he could play that allowed in people under 21 years of age. The pair have played together in various activities, including the nationwide program called School of Rock.
Similar to but not quite the movie, School of Rock is a place where students are encouraged in a "high level of achievement as artists and become leaders in their community." The program is available to anyone through classes or tutor sessions that will help them perform on and off the stage.
In 2008, Petty joined School of Rock after seeing a friend do a performance for the program. With the help of weekly private lessons and a weekly rehearsal for a themed show, Petty worked with School of Rock, where he and Bills became close.
Petty chose drums because, according to him, it was difficult. He had to put everything into it to be at the success level he currently holds.
"[Petty] is probably the up-and-coming drummer who plays in lots of groups," Guss said. "Everybody loves him."
Bills said he and Petty have had many situations to play together, and that happened again at the start of 2016, thanks to the community in Utah.
"The jazz community in SLC is pretty small and familiar," Bills said. "I may not know everyone's name, but I might know their face or their reputation."
Other parts of the Jazz community are found through groups like Meetup.com or through Salt Lake performance businesses, especially throughout downtown. But Meetup.com and downtown aside, Petty, Guss and Bills continue to jazz it up at Sugar House Coffee, even when they are the only jazz performers present.
But sometimes, others contribute to the jazz community by standing in for the usual jazz group. One stand-in, Jordan Reihman, played the drums near the end of the night on March 4 as Petty relaxed. With the same passion and fun, Reihman drummed away for the rest of the night.
Even as a stand-in, Reihman, is part of the community. Usually the group is around seven people, but only a few are the core and with these core members the jam sessions stay alive.
"It's a good time for us," Bills said. "We can play what we want here every Thursday."

One of the most common questions about eating disorders is how to help someone who is struggling with an eating disorder and it's not too hard to understand why. Eating disorders are extremely complex mental illnesses that have both psychological and physical aspects and it can be very easy to trigger someone that is suffering.
Here are 7 suggestions that can benefit your relationship and interaction with someone who is suffering, or who you think may be suffering from an eating disorder:
- You cannot save or fix someone who is suffering from an eating disorder.
- Do not comment on weight or their appearance. Keep your focus on how they feel.
- Listen more than you speak. Listen openly and without judgment. Provide a safe space for them to express their emotions.
- Encourage them to seek out professional help.
- Validate their feelings, fears and pain.
- Avoid talking about food
- Ask them how you can help.

In brief I tried to express some thoughts about monumental masons (the guys who carve head stones) I imagined 'memory peel' being the bits of stone left over after inscribing words a kind of blue print of the dead person. I did not deal with it very well to be honest. However I like the idea. I hope this one is a bit easier to relate to. I may work on this one It feels incomplete and a bit vague.27 Mar 2012

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Eighth-seeded Utah State men's basketball (28-7, 15-3 Mountain West) lost, 78-61, to No. 9 Washington (27-8, 15-3 Pac-12) in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday night.
Redshirt freshman guard Brock Miller led the Aggies with 13 points, while junior guard Sam Merrill and sophomore guard Abel Porter each had 10. Freshman center Neemias Queta posted a near double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds.
A Queta jumper and Miller three gave the Aggies' a 5-0 lead early in the first half. The Aggies extended the lead to six at 11-5 after free throws from Miller and a bucket from senior forward Quinn Taylor. The Huskies responded with a 9-0 run to take the 14-11 lead, but redshirt freshman forward Justin Bean countered with six-straight points to put USU up three at 17-14. Washington then scored the next eight points for the 22-17 advantage. After a free throw from Porter and a Miller three made it a two-point game at 27-25, the Huskies closed out the half with a 13-3 run to take the 40-28 edge heading into the break.
Layups from Taylor and Queta, along with a Taylor free throw, trimmed the lead to single digits at 40-33 to open the second half. After Washington pushed out the lead to 48-35, Utah State used a 11-3 run to make it a five-point game at 51-46 after a Merrill three, Queta free throws, a Porter triple and a Miller jumper. After the Huskies pushed the lead out to eight, free throws from Merrill and junior guard Diogo Brito, and a Merrill 3-pointer made it a one-point game at 54-53 with 9:54 to play. Washington, however, outscored Utah State, 24-8, in the final nine-and-a-half minutes of the game for the 78-61 win.
Four Huskies scored in double figures, led by senior forward Noah Dickerson with a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds.
USU finished the night shooting 35.2 percent (19-of-54) from the field, 35.0 percent (7-of-20) from behind the arc and 80.8 percent (16-of-20) at the free throw line. Washington shot 49.0 percent (25-of-51) from the floor, 58.8 percent (10-of-17) from behind the 3-point line and 85.7 percent (18-of-21) at the free throw line.

Max Levy: one of Hong Kong's Top Chef
The American chef Max Levy is a top chef in Hong Kong's culinary life. From New Orleans, he started traveling to different countries since he was 17 to work for the best sushi restaurants in the world.
He ran the Okra 1949 restaurant for more than 4 years. Subsequently, in 2015, he moved to Hong Kong where he launched his current izakaya restaurant, the Okra Bar and Okra Kitchen.
Levy's current favorite ingredient is the kome-koji, the Japanese name for the fungus, Aspergillus oryzae. It is used to cook several Asian food products such as rice or the popular alcoholic beverage, the sake. Levy also uses it to marinate his pompano fish.
For his small-batch of sake production, he works with a brewery in Kyushu, although many order the daiginjo sake or cold sake to pair with their food because clients tend to think the more expensive the better.
The American chef highly recommends sushi with an unpasteurized sake in order to bring out the fish's flavor. For clients preferring a lighter daiginjo, this one can be paired with a Kyoto-style vegetarian foods such as tofu.
Don't drink and drive. Enjoy responsibly.

Mass disruption and transformation — these are the words that currently describe the automotive industry best.Plenty of traditional automotive companies have quickly — and massively — expanded, competition has grown, and innovations have entered the field.
Companies like Apple, Uber, Google, IBM, Intel and other tech giants are investing billions in this industry, hoping to change the automotive game. Various start-ups are also taking their roles, and just last year Frost & Sullivan, a market research and analysis firm, reported that an impressive number of over 1700 start-ups along with technology companies are expected to disrupt and transform the automotive industry as we know it.
If you're wondering about money, well, we have a few numbers for you right here: in the world economy, the automotive industry generates more than 2.5 trillion dollars in revenue per year. This industry also represents Europe's largest private contributor, Research and Development (R&D), with more than 62 billion dollars being invested in it annually.
These numbers are more than impressive, but they are also a part of the problem. According to the Global Carbon Project's report, published in November 2017, following a stable three-year period, global CO2 emissions are set to rise by 2 per cent. The main reason for this is an increased global usage of fossil fuels.
Interestingly, although Europe usually leads the way when it comes to environmental protection, the USA has reacted to the situation the quickest: besides adding limits on air pollution and CO2 emissions for cars and trucks, the USA has also set a mandate for manufacturers to build a certain number of electric vehicles.
Given that improving air quality and reducing CO2 emissions are important objectives for Europe, European environmental activists urged that the EU should follow the USA's example. One of the biggest arguments for this was that it would motivate automakers to innovate and find new, unexpected solutions in the automotive industry. Naturally, the need to meet new standards means, cleaner cars will be developed, making vehicles more affordable and saving the environment at the same time.
So, in targeting one of Europe's top priorities, the battle against climate change, the European Commission proposed adding stricter carbon dioxide limits for cars and vans from 2021 up until 2030.
This strategy is projected to have a few key stages, bearing in mind that average emissions of new cars in 2030 will have to be 40 per cent lower than in 2021. Given this would be a long-term strategy, the intermediary target of 15 per cent would be expected to be reached by 2025, making sure that the industry is "driving" in the right direction.
Carmakers that fail to hit the desired targets will face penalties of up to 110 dollars for every
gram of CO2 above the acceptable limit.
However, it's not all that simple. European automakers have strongly resisted every new proposal about adding limits to CO2 emissions. The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) caught the attention of the decision makers', emphasising how important this vote truly is — not only for the environment but also for the future of the whole EU automotive industry.
The situation became more complex once Erik Jonnaert, General Secretary of the ACEA spoke out, saying that "Our industry is committed to making the shift to zero-emission vehicles. However, this transition should be gradual, rather than abrupt. The more aggressive the CO2 reduction targets are, the more disruptive the socio-economic impacts will be, especially in member states and regions where the sector's share of industrial output is high." In other words, a reminder that the automotive industry is responsible for more than 10 per cent of manufacturing employment in four out of ten of Europe's regions.
E. Jonnaert also noted that future CO2 reductions mostly depend on the development of electric vehicles, whose market uptake remains rather weak and fragmented across the EU, representing only 1.5 per cent of EU car sales last year. That's why, according to him and ACEA, the timeframe proposed by the parliament is not feasible.
However, clean transport advocates see nothing wrong or impossible here, according to them, E. Jonnaert's warnings are fear-mongering, and the automotive industry is more than capable of quickly developing more electric cars if needed.
It turns out when it comes to electric cars, European citizens have a definite opinion. Interestingly, a recent poll by Ipsos Mori for the NGO Transport & Environment (T&E) showed that as much as 40 per cent of EU citizens say that it's most likely that the next car they will buy or lease will be electric or fuel cell powered.
What is more, about two-thirds of Europeans think that carmakers are not doing enough to sell electric vehicles by good marketing and pricing, offering a limited choice.
Commenting on the survey, T&E's spokesman Greg Archer said that "The clear message is that citizens expect their government to be far more ambitious about driving the shift to low and zero-emission vehicles than what the European Commission and the German government are proposing."
Recently, there was an incident when Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel unexpectedly came out strongly and publicly against rising the Commission's 30 per cent proposed target. Environmentalists reacted immediately to this, accusing A. Merkel's government of making "a dirty deal" with automakers — offering to oppose raising CO2 target in exchange for them agreeing to pay for diesel vehicle retrofits.
It's true that the automotive industry is vital to the German economy, and numbers speak for themselves: it employs more than 800 thousand people, produces more than 15 million vehicles each year and is responsible for about 20 per cent of German's GDP. Despite emission scandals, German's automotive industry is still considered to be one of the most
influential out there, which means that Germany's resisting position in the vote can influence other countries greatly.
Reacting to the situation, the Netherlands, Ireland and Denmark expressed a different point of view, proposing that the EU should adopt an overall target between 40 and 70 per cent.
Denmark also announced that they are banning the sale of new fossil-fuelled cars in 2030, aiming to have more than 1 million electric or hybrid vehicles on its roads by then. The country's Prime Minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen noted that he's "all for cars, but they shouldn't ruin the environment."
Although Denmark has no car industry of its own, L. Lokke Rasmussen said that he is planning on joining forces with like-minded European nations to add pressure on carmakers to boost the supply of non-polluting vehicles.
Nevertheless, the current situation remains very uncertain. Due to the newly suggested limit for vehicles being in the first major stage of the legislative process, to become law, it must first be approved by all 28 member states of the EU and by the European Parliament. It seems like a long way to go, but manufacturers have already started investing heavily in electric vehicles.
When you think about it, modern and cleaner cars are the most critical element when reaching for improved air quality in Europe. And that's just it — we can run, but we cannot hide from the situation.

It started with an orchid. Nature inspires, then we create.
Whenever it's time to get inspired, we turn to the queen of inspiration: Nature. With such limitless beauty, design cues flow into our minds. This time, an orchid had a lot to offer. An icon of refinement and elegance, with defined contours and silent grace, this marvelous product of nature inspired the creation of the Hyundai Sonata.
The end result: a unique automotive character that can express itself on the road. A distinctive silhouette and gentle, far-reaching lines mark its subtle beauty. The inspiration did not stop at aesthetics, but reached forward to influence the Sonata's fluid functionality.
It's mesmerizing how an orchid can lead to a moving masterpiece – a Sonata.
Pages can be written about design.
But nothing compares to what your eyes think of it. And the imprint it leaves on your mind.
And the feeling it creates. So you can yearn to see more, touch more, and discover it all.
Analyze and feel. Or vice versa.
A curvaceous outline, effortless dynamic motion, and solid presence.
Whether it triggers your thought process first, or a feeling within you, or both simultaneously, the Sonata's impact is undeniable.
A rewarding experience. A lingering emotion. It's time to impress your senses.
Every detail in the Sonata was designed to impress. Take a seat then take a look around. Simple, effortless elegance and sophisticated technology blend to form the perfect interior. The x-shaped center fascia will immediately seize your attention. Well-positioned controls within a stylish layout take ergonomics to a whole new level. The supervision cluster lays out all the information you need right before your eyes for an easy read. Its vacuum fluorescent display lights up in comforting, purposeful blue to enhance visibility. The floor console features a cup holder compartment with a sliding cover for further practicality. A guide adjusts to the size of any cup to hold it safely, while the cover adds a neat appearance. It's a rewarding experience in every sense

Most guys experience some form of jock itch during their adolescence, a situation which can make an already itchy penis even worse. Unfortunately, jock itch is just one of those annoyances that men are prone to; however, that doesn't mean there aren't some penis care tips that can help alleviate this problem - especially when a dude is away at college, where opportunities to pick up a fungal infection are rampant.
The college years
Although many guys have some form of communal living experiences before they go to college - summer camp, sleep-away baseball games, etc. - there's nothing quite like going to college to really learn about living with other guys. Whether it's the roommates in one's suite or the entire building in a men-only dormitory, college usually puts guys together in living situations that tend to vary from what they experienced growing up.
The jock itch factor
So what does the situation of guys hanging out more with guys have to do with an itchy penis? Well, it essentially means dudes are simply going to be in closer contact with each other - and therefore sharing things. And it's the sharing part that can cause jock itch to go wild.
Not that this is intended to knock the whole idea of sharing. One of the good things about communal living is that sense that "we're all in this together." Sharing a brewski or borrowing a roommate's coat is great. But where jock itch is concerned, there need to be a few pesky boundaries.
The bathroom
Let's start in the bathroom. It's not uncommon for friends to share each other's towels. When they've been properly laundered, that's usually fine. But be realistic: how often to guys at school do laundry? Borrowing a bud's towel to dry off one's manhood is risky; if he has jock itch, it's easy for it to transfer to his towel and from there to the penis of anyone using that towel.
Same thing applies to soap. It doesn't take a genius to see that if a guy with the itch rubs a bar of soap all over his goods, there's a good chance anyone using that same bar on his own junk is going to come down with an itchy penis that won't quit.
And don't forget about razors. If a mighty manscaper runs his razor through the itch zone, you definitely don't want to do the same to your crotch with his razor.
The dorm room
What kind of things should a guy keep an eye out for in the dorm room? A big one: sharing underwear. This is a no-no for many health reasons, but too many college guys do it because they're too lazy to do their own laundry. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
But the same applies to borrowing bedsheets. Unless they have been freshly laundered, they've been spending a lot of hours nestling against a guy's privates - and if those privates are itching, so too might be the privates of the dude that borrows them.
And here's one to think about: lube. Hey, a lot of roommates end up watching porn together and masturbating. A guy needs to be lubed up for sure, but think about it: is it wise to pump out a little lubricant after it's been handled by a friend who's been scratching his crotch non-stop all week? Don't cheap out; spend a few bucks for a private stash of lube instead.
Even with proper prevention, many will still get jock itch and be dying to scratch that itchy penis. Using a top drawerpenis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven safe and mild for skin) can help alleviate the need to scratch. When the penis skin is properly hydrated, it's able to heal more quickly and is less prone to itching, so using a crème that contains a combination of moisturizers (such as vitamin E and shea butter) is well advised. Selecting a crème that also includes vitamin B5 also aids in the healing process of penis skin, thanks to its unique affinity for skin cells. With the right penis health crème, the itchy penis can be brought to bay.

BackgroundAltered mental status is a commonly evaluated problem in the ED. Ethanol intoxication is common, and prehospital history may bias emergency physicians to suspect this as the cause of altered mental status. Quantitative ethanol measurement can rapidly confirm the diagnosis, or if negative, prompt further evaluation. Our objective was to identify the etiologies of altered mental status in ED patients initially presumed to be intoxicated with ethanol but found to have negative quantitative ethanol levels.

There's that old saying about which is thicker, and therefore deserves the ultimate loyalty. (One is decidedly more drinkable; please don't test it.)
But I learned from a Cracked article [where I learn most of my baller/ meaningless trivia] that the proverb's been twisted. It doesn't refer to your biological family like we think these days– it means the one you picked. Blood, as in blood-oaths and war; water, as in of-the-womb relatives. In short: your buddies are better than genetics, because you actually CHOSE them. You love family because you have to; you love your friends because you want to. And life is a fucking battle, so choose wisely who has your back.
I've always said something similar: one of the greatest things about growing up is this ability to choose your family. Because that's who your friends become. The further away from the biological you move and grow, the more you turn to the surrogates in your life. The girlfriends who build a new sisterhood. The guy who steps in as an older brother, to roughhouse and/or protect you. A boss with those mystical parental powers of approval and judgement. On a very basic level, the majority of us will always have some makeshift family dynamic in our day-to-day lives. Whether you find them in the workplace or social circles (or both), the family dynamic is inescapable and omnipotent. It shapes your life.
As kids, friendships are forged mostly by default. You're the same age, in the same class, seated next to each other alphabetically, or managed to have the same Ninja Turtles backpack. In high school, you shared the same athletic/academic/artistic talent (or mutual lackthereof), and were in the same clique. And college isn't much different. Majors stick together, and dorm-mates bond. But out here in the real world? It can be harder as adults to find your family.
Freshly pushed from the collegiate nest, we wander like hatchlings [read: idiots] around our new adult lives for a while crying "Are you my mother?" Think about it. For those of you who moved to DC without a support system– and knowing this city, it's a large majority of us– there was a deep part of you starving for that close-as-blood connection. Some of us turn to classes or clubs to find it within similar interests (fuck bocce ball; but hashing is a "Jules Approved Activity"). Others simply go to a bar to meet people (arguably a similar interest, to those of us alcoholically-minded). Nearly everyone throws themselves into work until life figures itself out.
I don't know what it's like to move here without a single friend. Two of my best, Otoño and Sally, were already here. And that was hard enough! But between work and play, I found a few family trees to graft on to. My Restaurant the first year adopted me into a polyglot family spanning over a dozen global cultures. I had a fierce bunch of aunts and uncles, big brothers and sisters, all making sure I ate enough food and had the hugs needed to keep spirits up. Team United Nations pulled me into the wild world of clubs, DJs, and partying the sun to rise. Josef and the Roomies fill in as older brothers keeping me in touch with the art world.
And now, My Bar serves as home base. With a majority of the staff fighting in the DC job market, yet taking pride in Industry life, we understand each other on a very real level. In addition to our "Sunday is Coming" tradition, which kicked off to an awesome start on Easter, we typically meet on Mondays. The Pinch, our friendly neighborhood dive, has made Mondays their Industry Night– meaning certain astronomical specials for those in the know. The rest of the week, we knock off work and set up camp at the corner table at Wonderland Ballroom, where similar benefits are ensured. We take full advantage of industry connections, and have established strong familial ties between our bars.
With that said, sometimes there's nothing like your literal family. Junior visited with Abigail only once since Inauguration, and it almost felt like a tease because I had to work all weekend. Last week was Fabala's spring break from high school, and it nearly broke my heart that a visit fell through. On top of it all, my dad was in the hospital for a fair bit (he'll be alright, but a reoccurring worry). I had to work so much that I still haven't gotten to pop home and see him. I'm currently the only veteran server at My Bar, and responsibility lays heavy.
The one thing keeping me going: I did get to visit Big Bro up in Philly a month ago; it was ridiculously awesome. He toured me around his favorite bars and restaurants, hopping from one bangin brewery to another craft cocktail bar. He works at one of Starr's places, the Dandelion, where even their TOAST will make your mouth orgasm. I now have both a new favorite beer and drink– Triumph Brewery's Scotch Ale and Continental Midtown's 'Blood and Sand', a blood orange and scotch drink. I love DC and everything in it, but Philly's mind-blowing food and drink culture reminded me why I almost moved there or NYC. [No worries, I don't regret my decision.] One of the greatest things I left my visit with, though, was a strong calm with being an industry worker. Philly is such a great blue-collar-creative environment, and seeing everyone's pride in their restaurants gave me a sense of peace I hadn't felt in DC. So thanks to Big Bro, his lady, and all those goobers for the heaps of Brotherly Love.
Which I soon have the chance to return. Junior and Abigail are talking about visiting next weekend. The week after is Big Bro's and my group of friends' huge family reunion concert in Philly with our boys, The Heavy Pets (definitely check them out). A month later, the Phillies come down to play the Nats, which ensures a whole bundle of crazy along with it. Then Jules Junior, my pride and joy, graduates from university and officially begins the permanent move back to Our Nation's Capital! In between all the Clan Jules activities, you can be sure there will be a pile of trouble with my District Family. Because life is best when you have a bunch of love from all corners. Stay tuned.
And because I can't let the opportunity go to introduce you, this is from last year's show:

Many classes at American River College give instruction on songwriting, the business of music and applied music, which can all lead students to writing and performing original compositions.
The Acoustic Cafe Songwriters Recital is an opportunity organized by music professor Eric Chun for students to perform original songs and musical compositions. The recital is very laid back and casual, anyone can perform as long as they have auditioned and received approval from Chun.
The recital took place Nov. 22 in ARC's recital hall room 547 and garnered about 30 attendees. Two masters of ceremonies, Eural Strickland and Malia Artsitas, introduced each of the 10 performers with some humor and got things started. Leading the recital was professor Eric Chun, playing a break-up song on piano titled "You stole my heart."
The song that spoke the most came next, Diana Campos performed her song "Nothing's ever what it seems." The power ballad was inspired by the "11 million undocumented Americans who are fighting (for immigration reform)." The song resonated like the acoustic version of any popular song.
Julian Cunningham sang a soulful R&B song about relationships and love accompanied by Chun on piano called, "Explore your world," followed by Young Timothy with his hip-hop track "Christ over money," which he performed for the second time.
A group set featuring Dino DiMare on acoustic guitar, George Seruset playing alto saxophone and Artsitas on piano played "The Waltz Song" and "Cyclone," both short pieces about lost love, the latter featuring weather in the Midwest.
The next two rap songs were by Shani Walker and "J Terrible" respectively. Walker sang an upbeat piece titled "Gotta Go." Walker was followed by "J Terrible" – who has been singing and writing rap for 15 years – singing his songs "Ghetto Groupie" and "Ghost," both about his experiences coming from humble beginnings.
Closing out the show was Artsitas, the most versatile performer present who jumped from electric guitar, to vocals, to piano. She sang a duet she wrote after living on the beaches of Southern California with Morgan Wright called "Sandy Toes." She then performed "Slow Town," originally written by "Rude George."
The recital was an opportunity for students to give live performances in front of their peers. The talent present impressed the audience and the performers appeared to have a lot of fun showing off their work.

The Surveyor
The proverbial saying about the game of golf is that it is largely played in the six-inch space between one's ears. For the Berthoud High School girls golf team, that is a lesson they have been learning in the early throes of the 2016 season. The snow and cold weather have cost the Lady Spartans practice time and, when they have been able to practice and play, the team has had to deal with gusty winds and cold temperatures that made an already challenging sport even more difficult.
"I think not being able to practice as much as we would like because of the weather has hampered us a bit," said Head Coach Mary Durkin. "But they've realized that they have to play through it, they know they just have to get out and play, play their game, don't worry about anyone else or weather and just focus on playing your game."
As a team, Berthoud took 10th place in the 16-team Birleffi Invitational at Boomerang Golf Course in Greeley on April 7 and finished eighth at the R2J Tournament at Mariana Butte on April 11.
Durkin explained her team did not quite meet the expectations they had playing at Mariana Butte, which serves as the Lady Spartans home course, saying, "I think [our expectations were] not met because it's our home course, we had some ups and downs out there today."
Yet there was plenty good to be found for Berthoud. Junior Molli Boruff, who qualified for state last season, shot an 89 (44-45), while Kyra McDonald's 92 (42-50) was her personal best. "Kyra shot 92 today and that was her personal best, and we were really pleased with that," Durkin said. At Mariana, Mikaela Matzen shot a 117 (64-53), Shannyn McEntee 120 (60-60) and Alex Ryan a 121 (56-65).
Boruff explained she was somewhat disappointed with her 89 at Mariana Butte, saying, "Today I didn't play like I would have wanted to … I just feel like mentally I wasn't in the spot I should have been and my putts weren't where they should have been either. I just need to work on my stroke, I need to work on just going straight back and straight through."
Despite the less-than-desired score at the R2J Invite, Boruff shot a personal-best 80 at Boomerang to take third place at the Birleffi Invite and explained her new set of clubs, Mizuno irons and Ping hybrids, have improved her game markedly. "They are working so much better than my old clubs. They're a stiffer staff so they help me hit the ball straighter and I am a lot more consistent with them."
Durkin explained now that weather has begun to resemble spring more than winter, the team is starting to make adjustments and she is seeing noticeable improvement from each of her players.
"We switched our number two with our number three; Kyra moved to number two and Mikaela moved to number three … with Kyra moving up has given us some positive movement. Alex Ryan hit her personal best last week [116 at Birleffi] so I think we're trending in the right direction."
Berthoud will compete at the Mad Russian in Milliken on April 18 and a week later at Pelican Lakes in Windsor.

The Worst chart
Greece 1%
According to Top40 Charts users, the survey provided these results: 61% of the voters have chosen the Greek chart as the worst for the 2003! Also the Greek chart had the lowest number of positive votes.
The greek chart is unique: Top40 Charts watch 88 official and unofficial national charts. In 87 top20/top40 lists there were common songs, which are defined as the 'biggest' hits of the year.
The Greek chart is the ONLY one which all the following artists/groups failed: Coldplay, White Stripes, Radiohead, Darkness, Norah Jones, Travis, Ja Rule, Outkast (!!!) Shania Twain, 'Nelly, P.Diddy & Murphy Lee' and many others NEVER appeared this year on Greek singles chart. The list with the biggest worldwide hits, which are failed to have at least one appearance in Greek top20 maybe, can be expanded to 50 artists/groups�
Also, there isn't any song from music styles like Latin, Country and Jazz (it is another incredible and unique element). The only 'Latin' track is 2002 hit 'Asereje' by Las Ketchup in the beginning of 2003. Tragedy? There are even more...
The RnB artists for the 2003 Greek singles chart are only nine! (sorry for using the word 'only' again and again): Beyonce, 50 Cent, Eminem, Nelly, Mis-teeq, Roots, Khia, Lumidee & Truth hurts. The RnB style, which is dominating the music market worldwide, has a percentage 5.8% on the Greek chart!
If you think, "ok, probably Greeks love white artists," take another brick: it isn't much better the things about rock / metal / hard rock style; there is appearance by ONLY five artists, Metallica, HIM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Evanescence and Iron Maiden (percentage 2.9%).
In the end, the question is: which were the hits in the Greek singles chart?
Here follow the names of artists that NEVER appeared in any of other 87 national charts we counted! Most of the names on the Greek singles chart which you 're going to read about 2003 hits, probably will be for the first and last time in your life - and they can't be called 'hits':
Hitch Hike, R.e.g. Project, Shlomi Saranga, KMC, Telephonics, Futuristic, Laurent Wolf, French Affair, Martin Solveig & Salif Keita, Just A Man, Ragga Reyes, Dublex Inc., Asian Dub Foundation, Mighty Dub Katz, Disco Queen and some other 15-20 artists.
We can't determine this music style: it isn't pop, it isn't dance, it isn't categorized and it is not heard anywhere else! Our conclusions are going to be closer to these by the British 'Music Choice' magazine: 'non-category' chart.
The amount of 'non-categorized' songs/style is about 40%!
However, we can't have opinion/knowledge about another 30%, which include the Greek songs. The proportion between Greek/foreign songs is 30-70% (like most other countries). This thing shows that local chart-maker follows the rules for a 'modern' chart like everywhere else, but is facing significant difficulties to establish it and synchronize with current global environment (there isn't integration).
According to the business terms, the reasons for this behavior are usually worldwide two: the extremely big percentage of piracy and the manipulated market (by Rradio/TV). Probably other forces own the greek market than the music labels.
The best of the best national charts for 2003 (review):
| Best Charts | | Problematic Charts | | Worst Chart | | Emerging Charts/Markets |

Who doesn't love a kid who knows exactly what he wants? Maybe it's me. (See August 27 post: A quilt for Jinju) Okay, it's me. I just can't resist them even though raising them can be a challenge, grandparenting them is a hoot.
Last month my stepdaughter relayed to me that 8 year old grandson Steven went on a rare shopping excursion with her to a "big-box" store (rare for him not her). Whilst cutting through the fabric aisles he spied a bolt that he grabbed, exclaiming "Do you think Cookie Grammy would make me a quilt out of THIS"? Now, you gotta love a kid who can look at a bolt of fabric...granted it does have dragons and it IS blue...and can see it as a quilt.
Of course it had to happen. Pictured here is "Cosmic Dragons", adapted from Maxine Rosenthal and Joy Pelzmann's book "One Block Wonder encore!"
So that Steven could have some of the fabric in its original incarnation I used a piece for the center of the pieced backing.
Now for quilting, packing and sending off because right behind it waiting is the fabric that his older sister selected for her new "tween room". You're probably not surprised that she knew exactly what she wanted too!

Wow! This is really cool, Cookie Grandma! The dragons look totally cool in that incarnation.ReplyDelete
There can be no greater feeling than having a little loved one ask you to make something special for him -- this is one cool quilt, Grandma!ReplyDelete
Ok. You are a saintly Cookie to have worked with that fabric! But oh, well, anything for the grandkids - I know that.ReplyDelete
He must be a terrific kid to have visualized a quilt when he saw the bolt of fabric. Can't wait to see what his sister asks for - LOL.
What a great post! It's so gratifying when some one, especially a child you love, can see a quilt in a fabric. It looks great! Ann :)ReplyDelete
What a great quilt! I have a feeling it will be treasured!ReplyDelete
