Hobbies allow children to develop some valuable life skills that they may not be learning at school.
Does your child have a hobby? Does he or she have an interest that is a little left-offield, such as collecting things, keeping chooks or making model aeroplanes? If so, he or she is developing some valuable life skills that they may not be learning at school. I recently listened to a well-known businessperson tell his life story. It was a typical rags to riches, pull yourself up by your bootstraps tale.
This well-known figure left school at 12, as he didn't fit the traditional academic environment. However, he explained that as a child he had had a number of different hobbies that enabled him to experience success, feel as though he was in control and learn a range of organisational skills. What were these amazing hobbies? He bred and sold dogs, collected and swapped stamps, made model aeroplanes and joined a club where he flew his planes each Sunday.
While these hobbies were hardly mainstream, the skills he learned through these interests set him up for life. His breeding venture taught him valuable business skills, including the basics of profit and loss, marketing and bookkeeping. His stamp collecting taught him the value of marketing and networking.
Through his interest in model aeroplanes he learned the value of sticking to a task until it was finished. He was shy, but his model aeroplane club brought him into contact with like-minded souls and he learned to make friends for the first time. It was a fascinating testament to the value of hobbies and interests developed in childhood. I wonder what skills this entrepreneur would have learned if he had sat in front of a TV, a games console or even a computer when he got home from school each night.
Rest and relaxation
Kids need at least one interest outside school. Having a hobby helps them relax and get away from the routines of school, which is good for their mental health. Anxiety seems to be quite an issue these days with many kids, so the opportunity to lose themselves in an enjoyable activity, away from the pressures of school, has become even more important. Every child needs to be good at something.
From the age of 13, young people tend to define themselves in terms of an area that they excel in, so it's important that they find a niche. If they don't experience success at school, then hobbies and outside interests become even more important. Of course, kids can have too many interests and be too busy.
I have known children who have a different after-school activity for every day of the week, which leaves little time for schoolwork, family time and quiet reflective time. Like everything in life, achieving a balance is important. Many Australian kids opt for a sport as their outlet, but not every child or teenager enjoys or excels at sport.
As a parent, it's important to help your child develop a hobby or an interest and it doesn't matter if it's not part of the mainstream. It may be necessary to encourage your child to try different hobbies, as it takes some experimentation to find out what they like and what they are good at.

Why is government so large in the Western world? This has been a question of central importance to the Mont Pelerin society since its very beginnings.
I start with what Gordon Tullock (1994) has called the paradox of government growth. Before the late nineteenth century, government was a very small percentage of gross domestic product in most Western countries, typically no more than five percent. In most cases this state of affairs had persisted for well over a century, often for many centuries. The twentieth century, however, saw the growth of governments, across the Western world, to forty or fifty percent of gross domestic product. Other measures of government intervention, such as the regulatory burden, have grown as well. Whether or not we think these developments are desirable, they are among the most important features of the last one hundred and fifty years and they cry out for explanation. My basic focus is on the United States, although a comparative perspective can help us make sense of the evidence. I'd like to address the key question of why limited government and free markets have so fallen out of favor. Of course this investigation is only one small piece of that larger puzzle.

Gubernatorial Candidates on Education
Newspapers are reporting that — at a forum on public education — Tom Foley, the Republican candidate for governor, indicated he would abolish teacher tenure, eliminate binding arbitration, overhaul state pensions, and support merit pay.
The gubernatorial candidates met in Middletown last night for a debate sponsored by the Connecticut Coalition for Achievement Now. The event was moderated by Robert Frahm of the Connecticut Mirror and Tom Monahan of NBC 30.

It sounds as though Mr. Foley has taken a page from New Jersey's so-called Gov, Christie. It would be a very sad day if Mr. Foley were elected dog catcher – never mind our Gov. We must surely stand together with Dan Malloy or CT's teachers will pay the highest price we have paid in decades. Our future is at risk. We must join together and assure that Dan Malloy becomes our next Gov.!September 29, 2010

Usually, I don't like to put up my work on my blog/facebook/whatever because I feel like it's real real annoying. BUT! I spent a buttload of time on the lamp (my 3D final) and I'm super happy with the way it turned out. So, I figured I'd break my own rule and show pictures of the process of making the lamp.
Ok. Step 1. After googling about 30 videos of how to make crocheted flowers, I finally found one that made any sort of sense to me from this lady with ridiculously painted finger nails and a British accent. Each flower took about 6 or 7 minutes to make (depending on how focused I was).
After crocheting ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FLOWERS (and wanting to kill myself), I began to individually tie each flower together with thread to make rows. Eventually, it equalled out to be four rows. And then it would fell apart. So I did it again. Ok. It worked.
Then, I made a hoop with aluminum armature wire (a 3D design staple) and wrapped it with yarn. After that was done, I tied the sheet of flowers to the hoop to make the lamp shade.
Finally, I attached a light chord that I bought at Home Depot and hung it up. Umm… did I mention that earlier this weekend, I put the light socket together wrong and accidentally blew a fuse out that resulted in the whole floor's power going out? Because I did. Oops.
I'm going to try and hang it up in my new house. We'll see how that one goes. Hopefully I don't blow out Savannah's power. Finger's crossed.

Protection From Pertussis
Are you fully vaccinated for tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis? If not, your obstetrician may be recommending that you get a Tdap immunization during your pregnancy -- both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control released updates for the recommended immunization schedule, and this is the biggest news by far.
Vaccinating pregnant moms
You may know that vaccination for influenza is recommended for pregnant moms -- it helps protect her baby, who will be too young for the vaccination herself until she is 6 months old. The same theory is behind this new recommendation for the Tdap vaccine -- young babies are at the biggest risk for serious complications of pertussis, and routine vaccination doesn't begin until they are 2 months old.
According to the CDC, pertussis is on the rise. Nationwide, reported cases have more than doubled in the last year alone. There were 18 reported deaths in 2012, with the majority of those being infants under 3 months of age. By vaccinating the primary caretaker of the child, it can help prevent infection until the child is old enough to receive her own shots.
Reason for upswing
One reason that pertussis is coming around again may be that more parents are refusing or delaying the vaccine for their child, but another (and probably bigger) reason is that after so many years, the effects of the vaccine can wear off. This is why boosters are important -- older kids and adults are often the ones who are responsible for spreading the disease. Boosters are on the schedule for middle schoolers, but the effects may wear off before this -- a lot of kids affected are between 7 and 10 years of age.
Pregnant women are the ones pegged for vaccination by this official recommendation, but it's a good idea for all older kids and adults in the baby's life to get a booster too -- not just Dad and siblings, but grandparents, aunts, uncles -- anyone who will be around when your baby is very small.

As the U.S. Women's Amateur golf championship boils down to today's semifinals, the average age of competitors has dropped from 19.45 years old, in the original field of 156, to 15.7.
Among Friday's departures from the Nassau Country Club event were the three oldest quarterfinalists among the eight -- 21-year-old Grace Na of Alameda, California; 19-year-old Alison Lee of Valencia, California; and 18-year-old Su-Hyun Oh of Australia.
Lee's ouster meant the tournament, which had seven (unrelated) Lees at the outset on Monday, is now down to one -- 15-year-old Andrea Lee of Hermosa Beach, California, a 2-and-1 winner over Eunjeong Seong of Korea.
Also, from 15 countries and 30 states represented, now only Arizona, California, Texas and Canada have flag-bearers.
Along the way, some of the principals assumed different roles. Bethany Wu, a 17-year-old Californian, went from the leading scorer through two rounds of stroke play to caddying for 16-year-old Texan Kristen Gillman, who rallied from a four-hole deficit at No. 12 to win on the second extra hole against Oh.
Gillman and Wu were teammates during last month's Wyndham Cup, a Ryder Cup-style event staged by the American Junior Golf Association, and they will be teammates at next month's Junior Ryder Cup in Scotland.
Hannah O'Sullivan, 16, from Paradise Valley, Arizona, steadily pulled away from Na to win, 5 and 4. An O'Sullivan bogey on No. 2 gave Na a brief lead, but Na never won another hole, her four consecutive bogeys starting at No. 4 sending O'Sullivan to the semifinals.
"I just told myself to stay patient," said O'Sullivan, wearing the Southern California shirt of the college team she will join this fall. "Basically, I told myself, 'I can't lose. I just can't lose,' so I kept pushing and stayed even keel."
In a duel between the world's second- and third -ranked amateurs, 16-year-old Canadian Brooke Mackenzie Henderson prevailed over Alison Lee, 1-up. Henderson twice took a 2-hole edge, which disappeared both times.
"It was nice to finally play Alison," Henderson said. "But it was a tough match from the get-go. A lot of back and forth."
(The world's No. 1 ranked amateur, Australia's Minjee Lee, withdrew from the field without explanation before the tournament.)
In Saturday's semifinals, which begin at 10 a.m., O'Sullivan will play Henderson and Gillman will duel with Andrea Lee, who made the cut in this year's U.S. Women's Open.
As an example of these players' athleticism, consider O'Sullivan's sports background: "Soccer, figure skating, gymnastics, softball, swimming, tennis," she said. "And I did dance. Everything."

Digital Journal launches smartphone apps powered by Polar Mobile
As one of the first news outlets to bring user-generated content to mobile phones, Digital Journal is extending its presence to smartphones in partnership with Polar Mobile. Today, Digital Journal announces apps for almost every smartphone on the market.
Digital Journal has partnered with Polar Mobile to release free news apps for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch as well as BlackBerry, Android and Windows Phone devices. Available for free at app.digitaljournal.com, the apps enable smartphone users to read news from Digital Journalists working in 175 countries around the world.
Readers can follow breaking news via Digital Journal's smartphone app and share articles via Facebook, Twitter and email from within the apps.
"We're very excited about bringing user-generated content to virtually all smartphone platforms at once," said Chris Hogg, CEO of Digital Journal Inc. "Mobile platforms are shaping the future of media, and we're happy to partner with Polar Mobile to bring our engaging news network into the palm of your hand."
The Digital Journal news apps feature articles, blogs and images from professional and citizen journalists, bloggers, photographers and reporters around the world.
"Every brand needs a mobile strategy, and we are pleased Digital Journal has chosen to work with Polar's Platform to grow their reach on mobile and drive new revenue," said Kunal Gupta, Chief Executive Officer, Polar Mobile.

Report identifies the 11 key elements for future of mobile
By Chris Hogg
Polar Mobile, a company that makes mobile applications for more than 150 customers including Time, BusinessWeek, and Sports Illustrated, to name a few, will release a paper today that will identify the top trends in mobile for 2011.
Digital Journal obtained a copy of the report ahead of its release.
Among the 11 major trends to watch out for in 2011: Security threats, major fragmentation across various platforms and devices, and massive growth for the tablet market. According to the report, social media will play an increasingly important role in mobile and marketers and businesses will need to start focusing on engagement rather than number of downloads.
"Mobile will start to become part of every business' marketing and distribution strategy in 2011," Kunal Gupta, CEO of Polar Mobile, said in an email statement. "That's where we all spend our time and brands, marketers and publishers will want to capture that opportunity."
Gupta was also a speaker at Digital Journal's Future of Media event held in September.
Going into 2011, Polar Mobile says the following areas are key to the growth of mobile over the next year:
Mobile strategies will extend beyond iPhone and iPad. Polar Mobile says simply having an iPhone app is not a true mobile strategy.
Research firm Gartner forecasts mobile App downloads will top four billion this year and grow to 21 billion by 2013.
Furthermore, more than 1 billion smartphones are expected to ship by 2013, with players other than just Apple (Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Symbian, Samsung and more)
For developers working with Android, fragmentation will become a challenge because Google has released seven versions of its Android OS (1.1, 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.01, 2.1, 2.2) in less than two years.
Polar Mobile says older Android devices will suffer from performance lags.
Furthermore, OEMs such as HTC, Samsung, LG and Motorola each customize their version of Android to distinguish their phones on the market. This will compound the Android fragmentation problems.
Tablets are going to be a major part of the growth of the mobile industry. Polar Mobile believes tablets will become as commonplace as computers, appearing in every home.
Going into 2011, Samsung, RIM, HTC, LG, Acer, Cisco, Dell, Motorola, OpenPeak, Viewsonic, Apple and others will all have their own tablets.
Customers will be drawn to new distribution channels and have more options when purchasing tablets, from OEMs, carriers and retailers.
Apple is expected to sell more than 10 million iPads and Samsung is expected to hit 1 million units sold this year. Gartner believes more than 55 million tablets will be sold in 2011.
Right now advertisers, marketers and businesses typically focus on number of downloads rather than number of active users. In 2011, that will change.
Polar Mobile says most businesses have no clue what happens inside their apps, which is why most only report on the number of downloads. In 2011, improved analytics and tracking capabilities will allow companies to build products that promote user engagement, and enable them to tweak based on real-world feedback.
Companies will shift priorities to focus more on continued usage than number of downloads.
Like the Web, social will play a huge part in the future of mobile.
Polar Mobile notes that 35 percent of Twitter's active members use the service on their mobile device.
[url=http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics t=_blank]According to Facebook[/url], there are more than 200 million active users who access the site via their mobile device and those users are twice as active as non-mobile users.
Polar Mobile says mobile consumption habits are different than online user experiences and social will play a role in making mobile unique.
With the rise of usage on mobile platforms, the world will see more mobile-exclusive brands and content emerge.
Polar Mobile says new, mobile-only brands will be launched by traditional publishers and niche and focused content will be used to create "greater user stickiness."
Companies that expand on mobile will also be able to leverage new distribution channels to acquire new users.
Paywalls are going to suffer on mobile. Outside of iTunes, Polar Mobile says it's very difficult to buy physical or virtual goods on your phone, and limited infrastructure will be the stumbling block for paid content.
Polar Mobile says the industry needs major infrastructure updates and billing improvements before paid content and micro-transaction businesses will see mass adoption.
Applications and mobile websites will be more intertwined, offering a better user experience. Polar Mobile says apps will leverage the mobile Web to scale utility and add custom features across multiple devices.
As the app and mobile web markets mature, average users eventually won't be able to tell the difference between a mobile website and an app.
Apps will begin using near-field-communication (NFC) technology to enable them to become mobile commerce tools. For example, retailers will be able to use NFC to increase in-store purchases by pushing notifications to shoppers about deals or specials.
Polar Mobile says Android Gingerbread, the recent release of the OS, also supports an API for NFC, giving developers the tools they need to build functionality into apps.
In addition to NFC, RFID chips implanted in smartphones will turn them into payment tools.
Companies and individuals will need to pay more attention to App security and threats, as mobile adoption grows into 2011.
Polar Mobile says smartphones often store far more personal information than desktops that is easily accessible by mobile apps, and App distribution channels do not currently mandate security testing.
The company warns that nefarious developers could use techniques such as spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, and elevation of privilege to get personal information.
Finally, Polar Mobile says fragmentation across operating systems and devices will grow exponentially. Going into 2011, there will be a huge number of mobile platforms, including Apple iOS, Google Android, RIM BlackBerry, Windows Phone, HP Palm, Samsung Bada, Nokia Symbian and Intel MeeGo.
The device market will also expand, including smartphones, feature phones, tablets, smart TVs, automobiles, netbooks and browsers.
Microsoft parters with Polar Mobile for smartphone apps
By Chris Hogg
Microsoft is teaming up with Canadian app developer Polar Mobile to create 500 applications for Windows Phone 7, Microsoft's new mobile product.
According to a Globe and Mail report, Polar Mobile will build Windows Phone versions of its 350 existing apps available for BlackBerry, iPhone and Android users. The company will also build future apps for Windows Phone.
Polar Mobile is a Toronto-based company of 40 people. The company has made apps for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Time Magazine, CBS Sports and more. Kunal Gupta, the company's CEO, was a speaker at Digital Journal's Future of Media event in September.
The Globe calls the deal one of the largest ever in the Canadian app development industry and positions Microsoft to play catch-up to Apple, Google and Research in Motion on the mobile front.
"What has changed today versus two years ago is that they're not selling phones on hardware and price," Gupta told the Globe. "They realize that people are buying based on apps and content, and they see us as a one-to-many strategy."
Polar Mobile has seen success in the app world because of its ability to produce mobile applications quickly. Unlike other app publishers that produce custom-made apps, Polar Mobile uses its "SMART News Platform" which is a template model. Customers provide the content but the overall framework of each app comes from the platform. The result is an app can up and running in a very short amount of time compared to custom-made apps.

Future of Media 2010 wrap-up: Event examines impact of social media, mobile
See also: Video from the Future of Media 2010
On Sept. 8, five panelists shared their vision of the future of news with a packed Toronto audience. Discussion flowed from mobile news on your smartphone, to how geolocation will notify you of stories happening in your area. In addition, panelists talked about how news outlets are leveraging Facebook to become more "social" and why journalists should know about SEO and analytics.
These were some of the discussion topics at the Future of Media 2010 panel discussion held in Toronto's Drake Hotel, where a standing room-only crowd crammed into the Underground space to hear what panelists had to say about journalism's prospects. The Future of Media event is hosted by DigitalJournal.com. It's a regular event intended to bring a variety of experts together to discuss changes in the news industry, emerging trends and their impact on the media business.
The panel was made up of executives from a variety of companies: Elmer Sotto, head of growth at Facebook Canada; David Skok, Senior Producer of Online Content for Global News; digital marketing and social media strategist Mark Evans; Kunal Gupta, CEO of Polar Mobile; and The Globe and Mail's Managing Editor, Digital, Anjali Kapoor.
The standing-room only event began with a discussion on the challenges facing mainstream media today. Despite the struggle to retain print readership, the digital era is ushering in a new variety of media consumer, the panelists agreed.
While the conversation focused primarily on social media and its influence on news, Evans stated strongly that content is still king, and many panelists agreed. "Content will still be king, not all the bells and whistles that comes with it", said Kapoor, with Skok nodding in agreement. "Journalists should be great storytellers, no matter what," Skok noted.
But where content is read is changing and will continue to evolve. Gupta from Polar Mobile says reading news on your smartphone should be the norm, if only media outlets invested more in implementing apps. "The growth in mobile users has blind-sided media companies. [Polar Mobile] has gone from one million to six million users," he said.
Gupta also cited an intriguing statistic regarding content consumption, saying mobile users consume 100 pages of content per month on Time.com's smartphone application compared to only 14 pages on Time.com's website.
Evans countered Gupta's statement, saying mobile isn't yet catering to advertisers so its success as a news platform is still up in the air. Gupta responded by saying the mobile ad market is immature in Canada, so all we get now is that tiny banner ad across the screen. "The infrastructure needs to improve," Gupta said.
Gupta also discussed how payment systems need to be simpler in the future in order for any kind of micropayment process to work effectively. He's unsure when this will occur, but Gupta said he is certain news outlets would benefit from a more mature smartphone market.
The discussion then turned to what Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently said to the Atlantic Monthly: Newspapers will survive the digital revolution but expect news to be delivered on anything but paper.
Kapoor from the Globe & Mail responded by saying she sees print newspapers still appealing to news junkies; compelling content will continue to attract readers, it's just a matter of complementing print stories with online add-ons, she said. Evans agreed, saying the growth of free dailies should demonstrate there is still demand for print.
When the talk turned to Facebook's role in the media industry, Facebook Canada's Sotto and Evans argued about the issue of the social network being a "walled garden." Evans felt Facebook doesn't offer a variety of ideas since people tend to read within an echo chamber. Sotto replied by saying you never know what you'll find in your Facebook News Feed. He recalled clicking on links from a friend about country news in his feed, even though he never liked the music, "but I felt compelled to learn more about it."
Kapoor noted the Globe & Mail enjoyed partnering with Facebook recently to bolster the Globe's viewership. Sotto said the Globe saw an 81 percent increase in Facebook referral traffic when it implemented the Facebook "Like" button on the site.
Kapoor also said media outlets should get away from the idea of "we need to build everything ourselves." She added, "The challenge is that news organizations shouldn't be developing everything, they should be partnering. The online environment is a very different environment, and those skills aren't always translated to traditional newsrooms."
The panel also touched upon the issue of moderating comments. They wondered if online comments should be moderated in-house or outsourced. Evans believed this service should be outsourced because of cost, but some of the other panelists disagreed.
The panel was then asked about Twitter's potential as a breaking-news source. Look at how the hostage crisis at the Discovery Channel building heaped praise on the micro-blogging service with headlines such as "Twitter breaks hostage story." What happened to news outlets getting those scoops?
"Twitter is not a content creator," Evans said. "It allows people to have conversations, to say what they want, but it's not a news outlet. We have to remember that."
Evans went on to say the difference between journalists and the public tweeting news they come across is storytelling. Laying out the facts and uncovering verifiable sources are skills media organizations still covet.
Speaking of skills, what talents should the next generation of journalists perfect in order to be attractive to news outlets? Kapoor said the Globe looks for journalists who can tell a good story and report effectively. She also said today's journalists should also know more about SEO, analytics and knowing who the audience is, as well as social media and multimedia journalism.
"Be bold, experiment, that's what we want to see," Kapoor said.
Skok echoed her statement but stressed he would still like to see journalists hone the age-old skills of producing quality content. That said, Skok also supports using technology to tell stories in new ways. For example, Skok said his company gave every Global National reporter across Canada a new iPhone 4 with which to shoot video reports in addition to standard coverage.
When it comes to working at Facebook, Sotto likes to see risk-takers try new things. Some of their best ideas, such as photo tagging, came from all-night programming sessions when staff wanted to play around with brainstormed ideas, he said. Sotto also praised the University of Waterloo, where he said Facebook has discovered some of the best interns who went on to become employees.
After the panel discussion, the event moved to a Q&A where panelists took questions from the audience. One self-professed techie asked the panel what it thought about the future of radio and podcasts. Evans admitted he doesn't listen to radio much, saying "podcasts are like the ugly orphan in the corner."
Skok, on the other hand, thinks audio reports could be part of media's future; during the G20 protests in Toronto, a Global reporter complemented her editorial with a voicemail add-on to a liveblog during a car fire. "She was terrified and you could hear it in her voice. It was the most compelling thing I have heard in years," he said.
On Twitter, Digital Journal got a question via @annejoyce, who asked about social media's popularity creating positions such as community managers at news outlets. Will these types of job openings continue to flourish or is it a passing fad?
Kapoor said the Globe isn't consistent in how it handles this newly created position, considering how hazy the ROI has become in implementing a social media manager. It can also be difficult in measuring the success of someone involved in social media. "Do you base the qualification on traffic or Twitter mentions or something else?" she asked.
Evans answered Anne's question bluntly. "Today, would you rather be a social media manager or a journalist? I'd go with social media, without a doubt."
The Future of Media event was hosted by DigitalJournal.com and was sponsored by Suite 66, Queensway Audi and CNW Group. Prize sponsors included Rogers Wireless, Palm, Flip Video and Dell.

4 Reasons Why You Need To Blog
Huffington Post said it best when they said, "Blogs are the new business cards." And with the digital age in full swing, that's no exaggeration. Your blog is a hub for all your online activity. It's where you build your credibility and show prospective clients that you're trustworthy.
The mantra of our time: in blogs we trust.
But if your business doesn't have a blog yet, don't worry. It's not too late to get going. And if you're in need of a little more convincing, read on for 5 reasons to hit the keys and get blogging today!
1 – Your blog grows your network
When you have a blog, you're inviting people from anywhere in the world to engage with and share your content.
It doesn't matter if it's a comment or a retweet. Any interaction is another connection in your network.
Essentially, your blog is a PR platform. It's a place to communicate with your audience in a non-intrusive, casual, no-strings attached manner.
2 – It establishes you as an authority
Blogging gives you a platform to really show off what you know. Which is one of its greatest benefits. Want to convince people that you're an IT guru? Blog about it!
The secret is: when someone reads your blog, they want you to teach them something. This is the difference between blogging and most face-to-face interactions. At networking or social events, people want to tell you what they do, not the other way around. On your blog, all the attention is on you.
So utilise this spotlight to display a deep and grounded knowledge of your subject matter. And by solving prospective clients' problems, you're establishing yourself as a reliable and informed source of information.
3 – It builds trust and rapport with strangers
Once someone sees you as an authority, they're already halfway to trusting you. But there are a few other things to consider when building this special type of online relationship:
- Don't hide your motives. When something is free people often ask, "What's the catch?". So the best approach when blogging is to simply not have a catch. If you write a post called "5 Steps to Becoming a Better Cook", offer five steps to becoming a better cook. Don't just provide three and then say "For the next two steps, buy my ebook".
- Deliver on your promises. It can be frustrating when a blog post promises to help you with a problem and then doesn't. There's nothing wrong with a bit of clickbait in your titles. But always try to deliver on it.
- Be genuine. Try to avoid too much technical jargon. If you're in a creative profession, try to write in a casual, conversational tone. Essentially, write as you would talk. And approach your blog with an honest desire to help people.
With the right motivation behind it, your blog will become a vehicle for trust building. And it will humanise your entire website, showing that there really is a living, breathing person behind the screen.
4 – It turns you into an active creator
There are two ways to use the internet: actively and passively. For most of the day, the majority of us fall into the passive category. Because we spend a lot of time consuming content. And when we're consuming, we're in the passive mode.
By producing original content, we become creatively active. We're pumping material back into the consumption machine. Which is a sustainable digital strategy, and Google will like you for it.
Final thoughts
Blogging is more than a fad. It's an excellent way to keep in touch with your customer base and build a respectable online presence for your brand. And it can set you up as a thought leader in your particular field, which in turn builds your authority.
Of course, one of the big downsides to blogging is the time commitment it requires. Writing effective content isn't a quick process, and for many businesses (especially smaller ones) there's just too much to get through in the day to even think about running a blog. But that shouldn't stop you.
If you feel that your business could benefit from a blog, but you don't have the time to write one yourself, don't worry! Red Square offers a bespoke content-writing service, through which we take care of everything from writing and uploading posts to sharing content across social media platforms.

IAEA Concludes Onagawa Plant 'Remarkably Unaffected' by Quake and TsunamiAugust 14, 2012
The major nuclear energy story in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011 was the meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi. However, the International Atomic Energy Agency recently concluded that a Japanese nuclear plant even closer to the quakes epicenter the Onagawa plant, only 44 miles away was left relatively undamaged by the natural disasters.
The IAEA study included on-site inspections and extensive interviews.
Sujit Samaddar, the studys lead, said the difference was the Onagawa plants safety systems. While the plant was hard hit, it maintained its cooling capacity, its reactors shut down without damage to their cores and there were no signs of major damage to crucial safety systems, according to the Associated Press via The Washington Post.
In contrast, Fukushima experienced multiple meltdowns that released radiation into the environment.
With the earthquake of this magnitude, we would have expected the plant to have more damages, and that was not the case, Samaddar was quoted as saying about Onagawa. This indicated there were significant margins in the designs.

General Education at AUR.
General education requirements reflect the key concepts that make an American liberal arts university education unique. In addition to preparing students in the foundational skills of English writing, mathematics, the sciences, and the fundamentals of the Italian language, our general education program offers students the opportunity to develop the critical and creative capacity to explore larger questions of knowledge and meaning. Through required courses in the Arts and Humanities, the Social Sciences, and the Creative Arts, students will learn an interdisciplinary approach to complex topics and to examine concepts from a variety of angles.
The First Year Experience-Explorations in the Liberal Arts
AUR's First Year Seminar is a signature, two-semester sequence required of all first year students, irrespective of their choice of major.
Communal learning—where all first-years students encounter the same questions, experiences, and texts—and the critical discussions that emerge from small discussion seminars, make AUR's first year seminar distinctive. FYS 101 introduces first time in college students to the culture of being in an American university in the heart of Europe. FYS 102, Explorations in the Liberal Arts: The Meanings of Empire, is intellectually stimulating and personally transformative for students. Team-taught by four of AUR's distinguished full-time faculty from a variety of disciplines, the course challenges students to engage with the historical and theoretical meanings of imperial power, from the ancient world to the British Empire to the technological imperialism of mainstream and social media.
The course features lively lectures from global experts, thought-provoking group experiences, and on-site visits ranging from the Roman forums to Cinecitta studios, prompting students to examine how human experience is expressed, how meaning is made, by what rules we should be governed. The interdisciplinary approach fosters a habit of mind that students will employ throughout their studies at AUR and into life beyond the classroom.
Our programs
AUR is an American-style university offering Bachelor (B.A. and B.Sc.) degrees in
and Masters (M.A.) degrees in
We also offer Associate degrees in International Business and Liberal Studies and, for individuals who are not fully confident in the level of their English language for academic purposes, we offer the AUR Academic English Program - which carries a scholarship upon completion and entrance to an AUR undergraduate program of study.
How the American undergraduate system works
The American system at AUR is based on individual courses, sometimes called classes. They generally meet three hours per week for a 15-week period, referred to as a semester, or the equivalent. When the course is completed, the student receives three credits. One hundred twenty (120) credits are needed to obtain a Bachelor's degree. This usually means 40 courses, five each semester, or 10 per academic year, over four years. Some students start with advanced standing because their high-school education includes the Maturitá, the German Abitur, the French Baccalaureate, A-levels, International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement (AP) courses or similar rigorous studies. With these you can earn a Bachelor's degree with fewer AUR credits.
The credit structure of the Bachelor degree consists of three components: General Education, the Major and Electives, as follows;
The AUR Bachelor's Degree - 120 credits
The Academic Calendar Year
The University uses a traditional American-style calendar. The year is split into two major teaching cycles (Semesters) of around 15 weeks each.
The Fall Semester typically begins around September 1 and concludes in mid-December.
The Spring Semester begins around January 20 and concludes in mid-May.
Optional short sessions are offered in Winter and Summer.

That's the question that Van Chester Thompkins was asked after 3 hours of questioning in which he remained silent. Thompkins said yes and the statement was used to convict him. The Supreme Court held 5-4 that staying quiet for 3 hours wasn't enough to invoke one's right to remain silent. From the NYTimes:
Criminal suspects seeking to protect their right to remain silent must speak up to invoke it, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday, refining the court's landmark 1966 ruling in Miranda v. Arizona.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing for the majority in a 5-to-4 decision that split along familiar ideological lines, did not disturb Miranda's requirement that suspects be told they have the right to remain silent. But he said courts need not suppress statements made by defendants who received such warnings, did not expressly waive their rights and spoke only after remaining silent through hours of interrogation.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in her first major dissent, said the decision "turns Miranda upside down" and "bodes poorly for the fundamental principles that Miranda protects."
Monday's decision followed two in February that also narrowed and clarified the scope of the Miranda decision. One allowed police officers to vary the wording of the warning; the other allowed a second round of questioning of suspects who had invoked their rights so long as two weeks had passed since their release from custody.
At least the cops offered him a mint:
Mr. Thompkins then remained almost entirely silent in the face of three hours of interrogation, though he did say that his chair was hard and that he did not want a peppermint.
While the Supremes are chipping away at Miranda, I see that the 11th reversed a conviction yesterday on a suppression issue. Richard Klugh won the case, United States v. Lance Lall.

Who WAS in that 5-4 majority? Hmm... Alita, Thomas,
CJ Roberts, Kennedy wrote the opinion. Hmm...who WAS that 5th vote? Couldn't be Ginsberg or Breyer, or Stevens, and Sotomayor voted with the minority which was nice to see. So which justice gave the neo cons their majority? OH I ALMOST FORGOT. The Statist SCALIA!!!

David only prints my comments when I make a typo like "Alita" for 'Alito". Oh well.

To deny people their human rights is to challenge
their very humanity. Nelson Mandela
their very humanity. Nelson Mandela
Yesterday we posted an article concerning the need for movement towards changing criminal justice policies for juveniles. There were many who commented on the NYT article that supported the need for changes in charging and sentencing juveniles that would be more age appropriate and would focus on rehabilitation, reform and the future release of these errant juveniles.
Many would say that the reform of juvenile criminal justice practices would be against the wishes of victims advocates and that the families of victims should be the greatest concern. First, we must remember that the reason for court systems and judges is to insure that every accused person is treated fairly and remove vengeance from the hand of the wronged party. This is for two reasons. The first is to protect the person who has been wronged from committing a crime themselves out of pain and anger. The second is to insure that the best interest of the community is served, the errant individual is caused to repay for the harm done.
In my years as a juvenile justice advocate I have come in contact with very angry victims advocates, however, they are the minority. Most would prefer to be able to grieve their loss and learn how to move on with their lives, putting the pieces back together. It is generally not the victim that desires to be drawn back into court for every appeal, sentence modification or parole hearing, it is the district attorney's that use the suffering of victims to sway the opinions of the courts. I have wittnessed it time and again.
Only in recent years, as victims have felt compelled and protected have they begun to speak about the road to forgiveness. It is a road. All of us who have lost a significant relationship, gone through the death of a family member, lost a job, a child or a home know that grief is a process, a process that begins with anger and disbelief. The stories of the women and families who have forgiven others for taking the life of a child or a son or daughter are amazing people. There are many stories that have ended in unlikely frienships. To get a glimpse of this please read Unlikely Advocates For Teen Killers.

I have recently begun serving another service mission for the church. I have already served 2 with my husband, and this one is just for me. My husband was called to be the bishop of my ward a couple of years ago, and I wanted to do something more beneficial with my time, that he is away from home serving our ward. So..... I decided to serve a service mission from my home. I am a member of the LDS Response Team, and we are the ones who answer all the questions that people write in while on LDS.org. Today, I took on a question about Visiting Teaching, and was so happy to do the research to help the Customer, as we call them, to find what she was looking for. She was looking for a specific talk by Mary Ellen Edmunds, given at the 2011 BYU Women's Conference. The talk is titled "Visiting Teaching: Making a Difference by Small and Simple Means Beyond Statistics. I didn't go to that Women's conference, so I was excited to find out about this talk and post the links for all of my blog followers to access as well as this particular customer. She thought she would like to use this talk to be the focal point of a Visiting Teaching Conference. I totally agree that this would be wonderful, so I thought I would share the links with you.
Archived talk: http://ce.byu.edu/cw/womensconference/archive/2011/pdf/Mary_Ellen_Edmunds.pdf
Video Broadcast: http://networkedblogs.com/iqLpT
(They have a commercial Advertisement prior to the video playing)
I hope that all of you will go to these links and enjoy this wonderful talk. Thank you Sister Edmonds, for your wonderful message about Visiting Teaching.
P.S. If you want to go back to all the past years Women's Conference Transcripts, and enjoy them again, or for the first time, they can be found at this link http://ce.byu.edu/cw/womensconference/transcripts.php

Ontario Investing $100 Million to Create Jobs and Help Homeowners Save Energy
Green Investment Fund Fighting Climate Change, Growing Ontario's Economy
The province is putting its new Climate Change Strategy into action by investing $100 million from the Ontario Green Investment Fund to take advantage of the economic and job opportunities in clean technologies and to help homeowners reduce their energy bills and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
In partnership with Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas, the program will help about 37,000 homeowners conduct audits to identify energy-saving opportunities and then complete retrofits, such as replacing furnaces, water heaters and upgrading insulation. It will also help spur innovation and create jobs in clean energy industries. Full program details, including program start date, eligible project details and amounts, will be available in the coming months.
Energy efficiency retrofits can save natural gas consumers money on their energy bills. Historically, every dollar invested in natural gas efficiency has resulted in $1.50 to $4 in savings for natural gas consumers.
Ontario's Green Investment Fund is a $325-million down payment on the province's cap and trade program to strengthen the economy, create jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In 2014, Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas residential energy efficiency programs resulted in a 500,000 tonne reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This new $100 million investment is expected to save an equivalent of 1.6 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
Fighting climate change while supporting economic growth, efficiency and productivity is part of the government's plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes investing in people's talents and skills, making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario's history, creating a dynamic, innovative environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan.
Quick Facts
- Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas have been delivering natural gas efficiency programs across the province to the industrial, commercial, and residential sectors for over 20 years. Together, they supply over 99 per cent of Ontario's residential natural gas customers.
- Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas currently offer rebates for energy audits, heating system replacement, ENERGY STAR windows, air sealing and insulation. Incentive levels for retrofits under current programs typically range between $500 and $2000 and depend on the amount of natural gas savings the customer can demonstrate.
- A homeowner in Toronto whose home was built prior to 1990 could see annual bill savings on average of about $400, by investing in new high-efficiency heating systems, attic insulation and air sealing.
- Natural gas conservation programs between 2005 and 2013 resulted in 47 million tonnes of lifetime greenhouse gas reductions. The new Demand Side Management Framework for natural gas conservation, covering the period 2015-2020, is expected to result in over 42 million tonnes of lifetime greenhouse gas reductions.
- The government's new $325 million Green Investment Fund was announced in the 2015 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review.
- In December 2015, Ontario invested $20 million from the Green Investment Fund to build more public charging stations for electric vehicles.
- Ontario undertook North America's single biggest climate action when it permanently closed all of its coal-fired power plants.
- In May 2015, Ontario became the first province in Canada to set a mid-term greenhouse gas pollution reduction target of 37 per cent below 1990 levels by 2030.
- Ontario is working with the residential construction sector on ways to prevent illegal practices that contribute to the underground economy, in order to strengthen worker and consumer protections.

An hour before this picture was taken, the confetti-speckled, 9,644-ton liner Excalibur, carrying 114 vacationers and 130 crewmen, steamed down New York Harbor, bound for a leisurely cruise to Marseille, Naples, Alexandria, Beirut, Piraeus, Leghorn and Genoa. Thirty-five minutes after leaving her Jersey City dock, the Excalibur collided with the Danish cargo ship Colombia in the Narrows below Manhattan. The liner, gashed from its deck to below the water line, was ignominiously tugged to the mud flats off Brooklyn, and its unhappy passengers wound up (via harbor tug) back in Jersey City. The Colombia got its bow bashed in, and fire...

P2. Matter & Forces
2.1 Mass and Weight
Weight is not the same as mass. Mass is a measure of how much stuff is in an
object. Weight is a force acting on that stuff.
Weight is the result of gravity. The Earth's gravity attracts objects towards
the centre of the Earth and you feel forces like this as weight.
weight = mass × gravity
Weight is measured in newtons, N
Mass is measured in kilograms, kg
The gravitational field strength is measured in newtons per kilogram, N/kg or m/s2
'g' is the gravitational field strength - the force with which gravity pulls each kilogram of mass.This is roughly the same value at the surface of the Earthat all points. It is 9.8 N/kg (to 2 s.f.)
2.2 Density
Density is a physical property of a substance. At any given temperature and pressure the density of a material is constant. Density is related to two attributes: mass and volume. This gives rise to the formula:
In a laboratory it is possible to determine the mass of an object using a balance. It is also easy to determine the volume of a material; for example, a graduated cylinder can be used to find the volume of a liquid. The volume of a regularly shaped solid can be determined mathematically. It gets a little trickier to determine the volume of an irregular solid; you have to use displacement of water (Archimedes Principle) to find the volume.
Density is typically expressed in grams / cubic centimeter (g/cm3). Equal volumes of different liquids do not necessarily have the same mass. You can demonstrate this by setting up the following situation. All you need are equal volumes of water and corn oil (less dense than water) or corn syrup (more dense than water).
The volume of an irregular solid, such as a stone, can be determined by displacement of water. Fill an overflow can so that the water is just above the level of the spout and plug the spout with your finger. Place the overflow can on the counter with its spout above a sink or put the can in a catch basin, uncover the spout and allow the excess water to flow out. Now position a graduated cylinder under the over-flow spout to catch the water that will flow out. Carefully drop the irregularly shaped object into the can and catch the overflowing water in the cylinder. Read the volume of water collected in the graduated cylinder using the markings on the side. The volume of water in the cylinder is equal to the volume of the object.
2.3 Effects of forces
Hooke's Law
2.4 Pressure
An office table has a weight of 600N. If the area of the base is 3.0 sq metres, what is the pressure on the floor of the office?
This question is dead simple. Simply take the Force (600N) and divide by the area (3.0 sq metres) to get
600N/3 sqmetres
=200 Pa
This question is dead simple. Simply take the Force (600N) and divide by the area (3.0 sq metres) to get

According to statistics compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the risk of people dying in a car accident in Pennsylvania and nationwide has declined by more than a third over the last three years. However, car-related fatalities remain a significant problem in the U.S.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 33,804 people died in motor vehicle traffic accidents across the country in 2013, for a fatality rate of 10.7 people per 100,000. Overall, just under 2.6 million people died in the U.S. that year. That means the average American's risk of dying in car crash was about one in 77. In comparison, falls kill one in 83 people, firearms kill one in 77, suicides kill one in 63 and poisoning claims one in 53. However, disease kills far more people annually. For instance, one in four people succumb to heart disease, one in 34 dies from diabetes and one in 46 dies from influenza and pneumonia. Meanwhile, one in 161 people are murdered each year.
Of the 33,804 people killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2013, 8,629 were occupants of cars, 4,989 were pedestrians, 4,169 were motorcyclists and 623 were bicyclists. The top five states where Americans are most likely to die in a motor vehicle crash are Montana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Alabama and Arkansas. The District of Columbia, Massachusetts and New Jersey have the lowest motor-vehicle death rates.
Car accidents cause thousands of catastrophic injuries each year. Pennsylvania residents who are injured in a car crash caused by the negligence of another motorist may want to meet with an attorney to discuss the advisability of filing a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party seeking financial damages for the losses that have been sustained.

CELTIC FC is famous for its legions of far-flung fans as much as the charitable origins of the club.
But now dedicated supporters around the world are helping to support the Celtic's charity every time they buy an Overseas Season Ticket.
Cash raised by these tickets goes to help the work of the Celtic FC Foundation while each Overseas Season Ticket seat in Parkhead is donated to underprivileged families.
Tony Hamilton, from the Foundation, explained: "Overseas Season Ticket holders can choose four matches to attend during the season and their seat is donated to good causes for the remaining 17 matches."
For fans living abroad, the chance to attend a match when they are back home is too good to miss.
But it means they are still part of Celtic's worldwide huddle for every match wherever they are in the world and they know their seat is always used and enjoyed.
There are 60, 352 seats in Celtic Park and during every match at the Parkhead stadium there are a few hundred seats being enjoyed by those less fortunate.
An Overseas Season Ticket costs £250, and as well as the four home matches, fans also get a certificate detailing their seat location, regular updates on the use of their seat by the Foundation and a subscription for Celtic TV so they can watch all of Celtic's games throughout the season.
It's a small price to pay for Celtic's stalwart supporters, many of whom are as interested in supporting good causes as watching their beloved team.
The work of the Foundation focuses on the promotion of health, equality, education and alleviating poverty.
Most of the funds raised are used in and around Glasgow, where even today life can be tough for many.
But the work of the Foundation extends to other places worldwide through partnerships with other charities working in Kenya and Malawi and Thailand.
Last year the Foundation joined forces with Mary's Meals and helped fund the construction of a kitchen in Kenya which now feeds a couple of thousands children every day.
Pat McVey, who now lives in Spain much of the year, has an Overseas Season Ticket and is always thrilled to learn which groups have enjoyed his seat in his absence.
"As an ex Calton I was happy to see a group from the Calton got the chance to see Celtic.
"Reading the list of charities that Celtic supports I am reminded just how much they do care for the less fortunate in society."

So, it seems pretty simple right? Follow the directions on the back of the formula container: one scoop per two ounces of water in a bottle, vigorously shake to make sure there aren't clumps, then feed.
Except the air bubbles, oh the air bubbles that are produced when you use this method no matter the formula type or brand; they are a ginormous pain. Well, I'm here to tell you, there's a better way to make a bottle and create as few air bubbles as possible. Because let's be honest, burping a baby is really not an enjoyable experience and neither is a gassy baby.
Of course one of the most important things to reduce air intake by baby is the kind of bottle you are using. I'm a huge proponent of Dr. Brown's bottles. They really do help reduce the amount of air swallowed and makes for a less gassy baby; especially if baby suffers from colic or acid reflux. But, regardless of the bottle you are using, you can reduce the amount of air bubbles introduced into the formula by how you make the bottle. Below is my own technique that significantly reduces the amount of air bubbles my own babes swallow, and I think will work for your baby as well.
For this example I'm making a bottle of four ounces using Kirkland infant formula and Dr. Brown's natural flow bottles.
- Prepare sterilized bottle with 4 oz. of warm water (approx. 120 mL)
- Shake or stir formula container to uncompact the formula granules
- Scoop first unpacked scoop of formula into the bottle
- Swirl the bottle holding from the neck of the bottle
- Scoop second unpacked scoop of formula into the bottle
- Swirl again
- Fasten lid and nipple
- Check for clumps by tilting bottle to the side
- Feed
Packed vs.
Worst case scenario if there are still clumps:
- If possible wait 5 or so minutes and then re-swirl. Oftentimes the formula just needs more time to integrate with the water.
- If it's not possible to wait, try as gently as possible to shake the bottle side to side, NEVER shake up and down/vertically so that the formula is going up into the nipple of the bottle. If there are still clumps: begin feeding baby and then after a couple minutes remove the bottle and re-swirl, and then shake side to side again if you must.
Do this ↑
Not this ↓
Below is what happens when you swirl vs. shake bottles to get rid of clumps. Hugh difference!
Not shaken vs. Shaken
I'm sure you'll have success with this and the great thing is it's incredibly easy to do. I rarely ever have to actually shake a bottle anymore to get rid of clumps, and as you can see in the photo above you can make less air bubbles depending on how you make the bottle. Best of luck and power to the mamas, you are superwomen!
Your baby will thank you!

Meet Dr. Chris Dobson
Unlike many, I have grown up with chiropractic all my life. I have not known life without it. With two parents for chiropractors, and then eventually pursuing chiropractic myself, I have had my spine and nervous system checked and adjusted regularly from the day I was born.
Welcome to Evolve Chiropractic – Your Local Christchurch Chiropractors!!
Chiropractic is a natural approach to health care suitable for anyone and everyone. At Evolve Chiropractic in Christchurch, our main focus is the spine and the nervous system that passes through it, and ensuring that it is able to communicate freely, allowing the healthy function of all your cells, tissues, organs and systems.
Our lives are full of stress – from the commonly understood physical stressors, to the often forgotten chemical and emotional ones. When stored in your system, this can create tension in your spine and nervous system, disrupting the communication pathways that co-ordinate every movement, thought, feeling and bodily process. We call these disruptions subluxations.
As chiropractors, we are formally trained to locate, analyse and release subluxations through safe and gentle adjustments, restoring optimal function to your nervous system and YOU. At Evolve Chiropractic, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the health benefits of a fully functioning nervous system, and hope to provide care that is accessible to all – we look forward to helping you achieve your health goals.
Discover the Difference. Discover Chiropractic.

Find Out More About Our Office
We started this practice with an objective to provide chiropractic care in a way that was congruent with how we utilise it for ourselves – to get healthy and stay healthy. We have long known the barriers many experience with accessing care, and we endeavoured to create a family practice that broke down the barriers for individuals and their families, so everyone could access greater health if they chose to. Starting out from our converted garage in 2014, we have grown to realise how great the demand for the chiropractic care we provide really is. Opening our second practice in Bishopdale has enabled us to bring chiropractic to more of you, so you can experience the benefits of regular chiropractic care too. Thanks to everyone who supports us and what we do, we look forward to welcoming you to Evolve so you can start being and continue to be in control of your and your family's health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Research supports both the safety and efficacy of chiropractic care. Chiropractic is natural and does not involve any drugs or surgery. As with anything, there is a small risk of adverse effects, though these are rare and we will ensure you are informed of these risks prior to beginning care.
Anyone! Everybody and everything that has a spine can benefit from a clearly functioning nervous system and adjusting techniques are always adapted to the individual's needs. From newborns through to the very elderly, we encourage you to bring in your whole family.
