As we continue our series of posts for the Beginner Blogger, the next logical topic has to be posting to your blog. And some of the questions I get often, if not daily are "what should I post about?" Or, where do I get ideas for my blog post? How often should I post to my blog?
Do you see a pattern here? All of those questions are so related to each other that each is a step to the other. We have a lot of sub-topics to talk about over the next few weeks or so as we look at posting to your blog.
To get us started, I have decided that we are going to take, "where do I get ideas for my blog post?" as the first one we should tackle. Mainly because it is the first thing you should consider before you look at what you should be posting about.
Where do I get ideas for my blog post?
What is my goal for my blog?
What do I want to accomplish with my blog?
Who do I want to reach with my blog?
In other words, who is my audience?
Do I want to provide general information about my business or just talk about my products or services?
Do I want to use my blog as a conduit to open up a conversation with my audience?
I know what you are saying, those questions really all connect with each other and you are right. But, when you look at them, they really do have an impact on where you get ideas for your blog post.
First, can we assume you have some form of business. Online or offline. Either a home based business or a downtown brick and mortar business. The key is you have a product or service to sell and you need to reach your audience. Even if we look at each one of the above questions, there is one common item you have to consider. You and your blog want to be the go to place for your readers to go for information. Information that either solves a problem or gives them answers to their questions. Or, both.
Trade Journals: You should be keeping yourself up to date with what is going on in our own industry. You are reading about new innovation in your industry. New ways of solving your customer or clients problems. Trade journals also give you your industry news. Why not take that information and do a weekly or monthly overview of what is new in your industry. And why not link to the online version of this trade journal too. We will be talking more about linking in the very near future. For now, all you need to know is that linking out to authority sources such as trade journals will get you some serious SEO juice. Plus it shows your readers you are a source of information too. It also shows your readers you are keeping up to date on what is going on in your niche, market and industry.
LinkedIn Answers: What is great about using this method is the fact it accomplishes two things for you. First, answering questions on LinkedIn is one of the ways available to build credibility. And depending on what your niche is, you can even build leads for your business. Second, when you look at the questions being asked in your niche, they are a great source for ideas for blog post. Just take the questions being asked and answer them in a post. Jason Falls had a great post on setting up this tool and how to incorporate it into your daily routine. And just an FYI, the niche I follow on LinedIn was actually one of the sources I used to find questions being asked by Beginner Bloggers for this very series.
Sidenote: Just in case you don't think blog content continues to get you traffic, consider this. The link above to Jason's post is to a post he did way back in June, 2010. How is that for evergreen content?
Seminars and Continuing Eduction Classes: We all go to seminars from time to time. And for those who must maintain a license, you usually have to attend continuing education classes each year. Seminars and educational classes are a great source of blog post too. Usually, at least if you are lucky, seminars and CEC's provide information about new advances in your particular niche. Why not tell your readers about what you have learned at these seminars. Apply what you have learn to your niche and solve problems for your readers.
Blogs you read: This really should be one of those D'oh!! moments. If you are blogging, you should be reading blogs in your niche. You should also be reading blogs not in your niche. Taking blog post you have read and applying them to your location or niche is a great source of blog topics for you to write about. Not only is it a great source, you should be linking to them in the post you are writing too. Linking out to your source is what many of us call organic linking. In other words, putting a link in your post out to the source or quote. This gets you noticed by the search engines. But, even more important, it shows your readers you are again a source of information. Oh, and don't forget to link out and quote a competitor too. Yes, your eyes are not tricking you. I am serious. In fact, we will discuss linking to competitors and other linking methods in a future post in this series.
You are providing your readers with even more information. Not only are you quoting this source, you are giving a link to them. Your readers not only have your blog for information, they have this other blog too. Your readers will actually appreciate the fact you are not trying to just keep their attention on your blog.
You are showing them you want to be a source of information. This other blogger is going to notice that you quoted and linked to them too. Remember one of the activities we need to do as bloggers is to get our own blogs noticed. Quoting and linking to other bloggers is a great way to do this. And the organic link you are putting in this relevant post of yours gets Google attention too. Placing organic links inside a blog post to other relevant blogs and their post, is a key technique to gain SEO.
Reader comments: This is an often times overlooked source of great ideas for blog post. If there is one thing I have found over the last 7 years of blogging, the readers of your blog give you some of the best post ideas you can find. Especially in the comments on your blog. The comments on your blog are a gold mine of ideas. And sometimes the comments on a particular post might be better then your actual post. You should not overlook taking the comments you receive on your blog and using them as post ideas.
What is also great about this technique is the fact you can include the comment and the commenter in your blog post. If you use a comment as an idea for a post, give the commenter a link to their blog and even better, see if you can link to one of their post that is relevant to the post you are doing. Give the commenter some link love and they will remember that.
For example, I plan to use a comment in this post for another post in this series.
Client/Customer questions: This one is my favorite source of ideas for blog post and the one which moved me up in the search engines the fastest.
In any type of business, you get questions every single day from customers or clients. And if you publish a blog to promote or market your business, you should be taking advantage of all those questions too. One of the ways to get noticed by the human search engines and the non-organic search engines is to post answers to those common questions you see daily.
What you will soon discover is the simple fact those questions you are getting every day either on the phone or in person from clients/customers and prospective ones, are the same search terms people are typing into Google. And, they are basic questions. Questions that make great blog post and are easy for you to answer in a short to the point post.
Everyday you are getting questions and/or comments from clients, customers and prospects. If you are not taking those and making them into blog post you are really missing out on a great opportunity. Not only is it great post content, it shows you are connected to what is going on in your niche. Using those questions and/or comments also gets you involved in the conversation taking place in your niche or market.
Twitter: I know what you are thinking. Twitter is a fad. It is dying and will not be around. All I have to say to that is bull and so what. Even if twitter only last for another year or two, why would you not want to take advantage of this great tool. In fact, twitter has become my social media portal of choice. It is also another of my favorite sources of post ideas.
As a blogging tool, twitter is useful for not only promoting your blog. It is very useful as a way to gather blogging ideas. I use twitter almost daily for post ideas. And one of the best ways to do this is to just ask a question. I often ask questions on twitter days if not weeks before I write a pillar post. Before I even started to write the post, I asked a simple question on twitter to get me started in my thinking process. And continue the conversation on that question for a series of tweets to flesh out ideas for the post. More times than not, using this method will give me more than one post idea. And sometimes leads to a short series of post. This series for example.
What is so great about asking questions on twitter to get post ideas is the fact you are taking your thought process to the "people". You are actually asking the question to those who are more likely than not, reading your blog. By doing so, you are getting your readers or prospective readers engaged in your blog without them even visiting your blog.
Once you get them involved in the research and development of your post, you are allowing them to become invested in your blog and your postings too. This process right in something we will be talking about more too. Keep these letters in mind, F.L.E.E. Find, Listen, Engage and Empower. The last two letters of F.L.E.E. give us engage and empower. And asking questions on twitter, getting our readers and prospective readers involved in our posting process early, also gets those people engaged in our blog and the conversation going on there. And we are empowering our readers to get involved too.
Forums: I personally don't belong to very many forums at the present. In the past, I use to be on a few forums where I would take some time to answer questions involving what I did in my own business. Not only are forums a great way to get noticed and gain traffic to your blog. Forums can be a great source of post material. There are a lot of common questions you see in the forums. Questions which are asked over and over again. Why not take those common questions, make the question a post title/headline and then answer the question in your blog post. I must admit, the Headway forums have given me some ideas for future blog post here too.
What you may find by doing this is that you are going to gain some good organic traffic from these "answer" post you are doing.
This is not the complete list of where you can get ideas for blog post. In fact, we will be talking more about this as the series goes on. What I need from all of you is for you to leave your comments with some of your own ways of getting ideas for blog post. Let's keep the conversation going!
And just as a heads up, here are some of the topics we will be covering very soon in our ongoing series, Beginner Blogger.
How do I buy a domain name and should I even bother?
Should I pay someone to build my site?
What widgets or plugins should I use on my blog?
What are some of the blogging tools I can use?
How do I do an email newsletter?
And if you can think of other questions, which I know you can, please leave those in the comments as well.
Grant- I'm very surprised to hear you say that linking OUT is a good way to get SEO juice. Most of what I have read says the opposite, i.e. only links FROM outside TO your blog count in the eyes of the search engines. Linking out is a nice and networky thing to do, but I have never heard that it helps you rank higher in search engines. Can you tell me where you are getting this information? Thanks.
@mghutchinson Thanks for stopping by. Perhaps I should have explained it a bit better. Sorry about that.
When I look at SEO, I do not look at just what the search engines do. I have always been of the school the organic search machines are what you want to target your content to and for. Organic being the human search engines. My position has been and continues to be if you keep the human search engines happy, the non-organic engines will also be happy.
The whole reason to do a blog if you are promoting a business or service firm is to be a source of information for your audience. That is why I have always been a fan of linking out. Linking out shows my readers I want to be their source of information.
Linking out also gets you attention from the sources you link to. Trust me, when people link to you or you link to them, they know it. If you are linking out, those sites will discover you. If you are providing good up-to-date information, those sites you are linking out to, might just link out to you too. Giving you those incoming links you are looking for to add authority to your blog and content.
@GrantGriffiths @mghutchinson Thanks, Grant. That makes a lot of sense.
We have just launched our blog idea site, if give you the chance to find blog post and topic ideas if your having trouble racking your brains! Let us know!

BMW profit dips in 'volatile' times
By AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE,
BMW confirmed its trimmed outlook for 2018, forecasting revenues from its car business "slightly lower" than last year, rather than the slight increase previously expected.
Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Nov 7 – German high-end carmaker BMW on Wednesday posted a steep drop in quarterly profit as new EU emissions tests, global trade tensions and costly recalls weighed on the bottom line.
The Munich-based group said net profit between July and September slumped 24 percent year-on-year to 1.4 billion euros ($1.6 billion), falling short of analyst expectations.
Third-quarter revenues were up 4.7 percent to 24.7 billion, supported by brisk demand for the group's vehicles which include the compact Mini and luxury Rolls-Royce.
The group had already issued a rare profit warning in September when it was forced to lower its full-year outlook in the face of a series of setbacks.
Chief among them was the introduction of tough new EU pollution tests known as WLTP, which sent rival carmakers scrambling to shift non-compliant models before the September 1 deadline.
This resulted in "unexpectedly intense competition", BMW said.
The group has also been unnerved by US President Donald Trump's festering trade row with China and his threats to slap steep tariffs on auto imports from the European Union.
"The ongoing international trade conflicts had the effect of aggravating the market situation and feeding consumer uncertainty," said BMW, which owns factories in Europe, the US and China.
The automaker also felt the pinch from a mass recall of diesel-powered cars over a fire risk in the third quarter, and increased spending on electric and self-driving cars.
"Particularly in these volatile times, we are maintaining our focus on the future and taking the decisions that will lead to tomorrow's success," said chief executive Harald Krueger.
Group-wide profit before tax "is expected to show a moderate decrease" year-on-year, rather than staying around last year's level of 10.7 billion euros.

Hello, my name is Blaine Little, and I reside in Murfreesboro, which is in the heart of the great State of Tennessee! I have been a Realtor for almost 20 years, a business trainer for over a decade, and even a corporate entertainer as a professional magician! Just between us, that last one is probably the most fun!
So, why add yet one more set of incoherent ramblings to the internet? Well, I guess the short answer would be "why not". But that's too cliché. Through my business, corporate training, and dealings with other people, I have come across several interesting observations about businesses in America, and the people who operate them. Not earth-shattering, just interesting. Through that perspective, I have developed different philosophies about why people do the things they do, and how that effects their organizations.
Besides that, I like to talk a lot. I have written some articles, mostly for Realtor Associations. I have also trained and managed professionals, redesigned programs, and sat in on more committee meetings than I can remember. I spent much of 2017 on the road helping business people sharpen their tools. It's interesting why people do the things they do, but it is even more interesting as to why WE react to those other people. Some times, that's just outright funny! Well, to me least. Normally, I'm pretty quiet, but once you get me chatting, away I go!

Lunar Eclipse January 20, 2000
News story originally written on January 17, 2000
The last lunar eclipse of the millennium in North America is this week! On January 20, 2000, which is Thursday for those living in North America, a total lunar eclipse will occur.
A lunar eclipse is different from a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks the Sun from the Moon. There's another important difference. You need to protect your eyes while viewing a solar eclipse, but you can watch a lunar eclipse with your naked eyes!
The lunar eclipse will start near 10:00 pm ET, when Earth's shadow first touches the Moon. It ends at 1:25 ET and the Moon is completely covered from 11:05 to 12:22 am ET. During the complete cover, a reddish glow will surround the Moon. This is because the Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light.
So, why not take a break from television to witness a very unusual event. If you live in the city, you can still see the eclipse from your own backyard or porch!
Our online store includes issues of NESTA's quarterly journal, The Earth Scientist, full of classroom activities on different topics in Earth and space science, as well as books on science education!

Q: How to automatically login with VB Login form code? Say username is ADMIN and password is ADMIN.
It should be auto LOGIN and it's not showing FORM 3. What would the code be for Visual Basic. Is mine correct?

My form output:

Here's my example code:

 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    If TextBox1.Text <> "" And TextBox2.Text <> "" Then
        MsgBox("Invalid username and password, Please try again!", +vbExclamation, +vbOK)

    ElseIf TextBox1.Text = My.Settings.Username And
    TextBox2.Text = My.Settings.Password Then
        MsgBox("Login Successfuly! Good day.", +vbInformation, +vbOK)
        Form3.Show()
        Me.Hide()

    Else
        MessageBox.Show("Please complete the required fields.", "Authentication Error" + TextBox1.Text + TextBox2.Text, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)

    End If
End Sub

A: Below code is simple login form button click event code.
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       If TextBox1.Text = "rfb" And TextBox2.Text = "reflection" Then
           Form2.Show()
       Else
           MsgBox("Sorry, username or password not found", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Invalid")
       End If
   End Sub

change code as your needs.
You can change the username and the password in the code where it says "rfb" for the username and "reflection" for the password. - See more at: http://www.visual-basic-tutorials.com/form/LoginT.htm#sthash.yb1ihiFB.dpuf
hope this will help

A: I use next code for login:
    Dim user As String = UsernameTextBox.Text
    Dim pass As String = PasswordTextBox.Text
    Dim sts As Integer = 0
    If user = My.Settings.UeserName Then
        sts = sts + 1
    Else
        MsgBox("User name not found , Please,Try again.Or Contect Adminstrtor for help", vbOK, "login error")

    Else
        MsgBox("User name not found , Please,Try again.Or Contect Adminstrtor for help", vbOK, "login error")
    End If

    If sts = 11 Then
        hello.Enabled = Enabled

Dust spray is one of the best ways to control the dust and allergens inside your home.
There are many different dusting sprays to choose from. Some work better than others.
Choosing the right one is key to having a home that remains dust free longer without a sticky residue or waxy build-up which actually just attracts more dust.
DUSTING TIP: Many dust sprays contain silicone, which is not recommended. Silicone can damage the finish by softening it. It can also seep through cracks, joints, and seams in the wood making repairs difficult without complete refinishing. Ideally, you want a dust control spray that does not contain silicone.
DUSTING TIP: Everyday household dust sprays should not be confused with special wipes dust sprays for electrics which are formulated differently to clean and protect computers, tablets, cell phones, and flatscreen TVs. These products have anti-static properties and typically have alcohol as an ingredient.
DUSTING TIP: In addition to the dust control spray of your choice, all you need now is a good dust cloth to effectively dust and clean the furniture, baseboards, and trim inside your home. Choose an untreated one to use with any of the products listed here, or a pre-treated one for quick dusting on the fly.
Here's everything you could possibly want to know about the features and variables that go into makingdust sprays.
Want to save a few dollars and make your own dust control spray?
AllerSearch Anti-Allergen Spray – uses an oxidizing compound to destroy allergens from dust mites, pet dander, pollens, mold and mildew on contact. Non-toxic, safe to use around people and pets, safe on all surfaces and colors of fabrics (including white).
FloraCraft Silk Flower, Plant & Tree Cleaner – better than using canned air dusters or water because there's absolutely no wiping necessary! Just spray, wait 30 minutes, and leaves look almost like new. There's no dirt or residue left behind.
American HVAC Parts PureClean Filter Spray – turns an ordinary filter into an electrostatic filter. Increases particle capture up to 300% and has been proven to improve MERV Rating up to 65%.

Q: Why are Low Level Mouse Hooks Causing Lag I'm trying to make an application that just detects if the left mouse button is held down. In trying to do this, as well as learn mouse hooks, I copy-pasted a hook from an example source (https://cboard.cprogramming.com/windows-programming/119909-setwindowshookex-lowlevelmouseproc.html) just to see what it would do.

                                           INFINITE, QS_ALLINPUT);
        if (status == (WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1))
        {
            // there are messages to process, eat em up
            continue;
        }//if
        else
        {
            // assume g_evExit is signaled
            break;
        }//else
    }//while

    cout << "Exiting..." << endl;
    UnhookWindowsHookEx(g_Hook);
    CloseHandle(g_evExit);
    return 0;
}//main

A: You need a message pump. The code you posted uses PeekMessage in combination with MsgWaitForMultipleObjects, but it's probably a better idea to use GetMessage along with TranslateMessage and DispatchMessage, as showcased in How to manually run message pump in C++:
MSG msg;
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 1) {
    TranslateMessage(&msg);
    DispatchMessage(&msg);
}

With this loop, I was able to set up a WH_MOUSE_LL hook with SetWindowsHookExA  without having the mouse input lag, and correctly receiving all events.
Make sure the hook is installed on the same thread that will pump the messages.

Brooklyn Pilot Program Eases Restrictions on Basement Apartments
By Angi Gonzalez Brooklyn
PUBLISHED 5:36 AM ET May. 01, 2019 PUBLISHED May 1, 2019 @5:36 AM
Patricia Worthy and her family have lived in her East New York townhouse for 18 years.
The Buildings Department classifies her home as a single-family property, but the retired correction officer is thinking about turning her cellar into an apartment and renting it out.
"I'm one for doing things legal," said Worthy.
Now, she can rent out the space legally as part of a new pilot program.
It has long been illegal for any city homeowner to rent out a cellar, defined as having more than half its height below curb level. Nor could owners of multi-family homes rent out a basement, defined as having less than half its height below the curb.
In March, however, the city began a three-year pilot program allowing certain cellars and basements to be converted into legal apartments. The move was made as an attempt to ease the city's affordable housing crisis.
For now, the program is limited to East New York and Cypress Hills in Brooklyn. Officials say the areas were chosen because of their large supply of one- and two-family homes that are considered suitable for conversion.
"This is an opportunity for them to gain income," said Nikki Lucas, founder of the People First Democratic Club.
Lucas helped organize a recent information session on the program in East New York. About 75 homeowners packed Hope City Church on March 30 to hear about it.
"We've been trying to rent our basement out for 30 years but we haven't been able to," said Andrew Williams, an East New York resident who came to the information session.
Under the program, basement and cellar units still have to meet building codes to become legal. This includes meeting city requirements for ceiling heights, lighting, ventilation, sanitation and egress.
Low- to no-interest loans are available to help the homeowners make the legal conversions.
If the program is successful and can be implemented citywide, supporters believe it will make once-illegal apartments a safer place to live.
"We know that these basements are being rented out illegally, and it's going to create a path for homeowner to rent it legally," said City Council member Rafael L Espinal.
Some residents of East New York told NY1 that he typical rent for one of these illegal units has been around $1,200 a month.
Potential renters in East New York who spoke with NY1 said they were supportive of the program, and all said they could imagine living below ground.
"I would live in a basement apartment because I don't like living on top of people," said one man.
"If it was nice and didn't look like a basement," said one woman.
The program does put a limit on what homeowners can charge for apartments in the conversion program. All have to be below market rate.

The Umbrella Center
Community Activites
2019 Statewide Conference
Strategic Workshop
Survivor Resource Center
Overview of the Survivor Resource Center
Our community has come together to establish a vision of what we want for our Family Justice Center. This vision includes a broad range of services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child maltreatment, human trafficking and elder abuse. The scope of this undertaking is not one that will be completed quickly. With that in mind, over the past several months the CharMeck Family Justice Center Steering Committee has been working on development of a Phase I Co-located Center which will be called the Survivor Resource Center (SRC).
The SRC will not be a family justice center. Instead of being open to the public, this initial model will accept referrals from core partners to address the highest risk cases of abuse. The development and operation of the SRC will run parallel to the planning, fundraising and establishment of a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Family Justice Center.
This limited scope collaboration will help to strengthen relationships, evolve community responses, engage other community partners, and continue to enhance the work of numerous community multi-disciplinary teams. Partners in the Center will develop systems and practices that will be incorporated in our community's Family Justice Center.
SRC Services
The SRC will provide core services for adult and child victims of domestic violence, child abuse, and child maltreatment through basic needs and crisis support, non-residential advocacy, and social services support. Due to space and staffing limitations, the SRC will not serve walk-in clients. Agencies with staff who will be located on site include Mecklenburg County Community Support Services, Mecklenburg County Youth and Family Services, CMPD, Pat's Place and Safe Alliance.
Location and Planning
The Steering Committee has revisited the suite selection within the Children Family Services Center (CFSC) building, located in Charlotte at 601 East 5th st., to promote safer Social Distancing of clients and staff due to COVID-19. CFSC already houses over 10 community based human service organizations.
The SRC Operations Committee has completed policies, protocols, procedures, trainings, etc. to support the daily operations of the SRC. Currently, the committee is drafting the Operations Manual, a plan for Racial Equity Framework, a COVID-19 Safe Distancing Plan, and is having conversations around establishing a Coordinated Community Response (CCR) team. The MOU has been signed by all partnering agency's.
Safe Alliance has selected the first Navigator for the Center. The Navigator's role will be to provide clients with an overview of SRC services, a needs assessment, safety planning, a warm introduction to SRC Service Providers, long-term advocacy and information about other services needed to support those clients being referred by a core group of community partners.
Again, we want to thank each of you for continuing to help us realize the mission of the SRC during these difficult times. Your support makes a world of difference to the people we serve!
How Can You Be Involved?
The SRC Planning Committee has identified several community partners and survivors to collaborate on an Operations Committee to determine the best practices for operating the Center. The Operations Committee would be unable to make the SRC and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Family Justice Center a reality without the input of the community. To gain this needed input, the Service and Operations Workgroup will be kicked off with an informational meeting in the coming months. To receive notice of the kickoff meeting, please CLICK HERE.

Android at MWC 2018: The pin badge festival is back
Chris Hall, Editorial Director · 26 February 2018 ·
(Pocket-lint) - For many, the annual "partner walk" from Android is one of the highlights of MWC. With so many partners at the show, Android provides a little fun relief for attendees at the Barcelona show.
Taking a section of how the Fira Gran Via outside the exhibition halls, The Android Works provides a place for people to relax, customise their own Android character and plan their attack on Android pin badges.
There are three sets, designed to be collected over three days of the show - bronze, silver and gold - and each offers 26 pin badges to collect, which are spread across Android partners at the show. So that's 78 pin badges.
Once attendees have collected a full set of badges, they can show the completed workbook and receive a special Android Oreo pin badge in bronze, silver and gold flavours.
There are some special pin badges floating around, however, with the Google Assistant pin badge just being a special bonus.
And Google Assistant is partly what this is all about. Google Assistant is not only in all those Android phones that have launched at the show, but across a growing range of devices like smart displays and Google Assistant speakers too.
In addition, there's really been movement on Android One. Android One has been talked about for a while, but with Nokia committing to be part of Android One, there's a real sense that quality pure Android phone - outside the Pixel programme - are on the map.
At the other end of the scale, Android Go has seen itself get off to a flying start. Announced at Google I/O 2017, Android Go is designed as a lightweight version of Android Oreo that reduces the demands on the phone and reduces the amount of data needed.
Nokia has also released an Android Go phone - the Nokia 1 - as has Alcatel. These are devices aiming to bring Android to more users at lower prices.
Of course, there's a whole heap of Android phones, with Nokia, Samsung and Sony amongst those launching at the show.

A few exciting classical music events for this weekend, with some Christmas liturgy ahead of us. Liturgical music during the holiday season is like giving to charity: you have to assuage your guilt of ignoring it too much during the rest of the year by attending at least one sung mass. Or write a check. Or kill two birds with one stone, since all orchestras below are non-profit.
Cozzolani was a 17th century nun, and you can hear her Mass performed by Magnificat. The nuns were playing music from behind a partition in the convent's church so that the lay person could hear but not see. The performance will also include a modern world premiere, as Magnificat recreated some orchestrations from fragments of Motets that Cozzolani wrote and whose bass lines got lost since the 1650s. Music director Warren Stewart, whom we interviewed here, will also play the cello. This composer has a special meaning for Magnificat, as they just launched their Cozzolani project to record the integral of her work on CD. You can pre-order here. Concerts are tonight in Menlo, tomorrow in Berkeley and Sunday in SF.
Philharmonia Baroque will play Vivaldi's Gloria, and the appropriate season among the four Vivaldi violin concerti (with Elizabeth Blumenstock leading as the soloist). The concert will feature the Philharmonia Chorale prominently, and the performance will be conducted by chorale director Bruce Lamott. Philharmonia Baroque plays tonight in Palo Alto, tonight and tomorrow in Berkeley, Tuesday in Lafayette, and next Friday in SF.
Also, you can hear another Mass, that of Guillaume de Machaut next Friday and Saturday at Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, the church in neighboring the French consulate. This one will bring you back to the 14th century. His Messe de Nostre Dame is credited as the first ordinary mass, which pretty much set the genre on its way. Concert info here.


Ok I realise that I'm in danger of becoming slightly obsessed here but these serpents are starting to take over the world. The earlier snake seems to have phoned a friend…Perhaps it's the music they like (now playing Back to Mine Krafty Kuts which is kinda funky and they did seem to be dancing with each other).
This is the third time I've stayed here in over 10 years – I've always wanted to see snakes, and this time, by far the richest pickings… I think I've gone off them now though. DJ now needs to get a bloody mongoose or something!
OK now unless Monty the Python makes an appearance there will be no more snake reports.This is your snake correspondent signing off. Ciao for now.
Ooer re snakes. Maybe they are all congregating to plan the revenge for the dispatch of their brother, sister aunt whatever. That entwining is really the snake version of a war dance. Be afraid, be very afraid( cue scary noises in the background).
Really enjoyed this as my lunchtime read.
Well at least all we have to cope with over here are squirrels, foxes, badgers and moles.
Debs that was a truly frightening sight eek.
The veg lady commented on Australia being a country that has numerous critters that can kill you. You take very good care out there Aba,:-).
@ Jill be brave! I am sure the snakes in Sri Lanka are much better behaved. Have a fab time when you get there!
@ Ace I am being very careful 🙂 I think we counted 5 in the end but Deb may have been seein double 🙂 and yeah real scary face unfortunately only seemed to whip the serpents into a frenzy!
← F**k me another serpentine visitor!

Q: Why is className showing up in my style rule? I'm trying to apply a keyframe animation to fade out an element, but when that class gets added to the element, it appears to adjust the rule itself and injects the className into the rule to reference the fadeOut keyframe.
      <div
        className={cx({
          [styles['announcement__sliderWrapper__single']]: true,
          [styles['announcement__dismissed']]:
            dismissedItems.includes(annnouncement.id)
        })}
      >

@keyframes fadeOut {
  0% {
    opacity: 100%;
  }
  99% {
    opacity: 0%;
  }
  100% {
    display: none;
  }
}

.announcement__dismissed {
  animation: fadeOut 5s 0 1; /* IE 10+, Fx 29+ */
}

This is what shows up in Chrome Dev Tools when the class is applied to the element:
.Announcements__announcement__dismissed___2-ucg {
    -webkit-animation: Announcements__fadeOut___u8Ob- 5s 0 1;
    animation: Announcements__fadeOut___u8Ob- 5s 0 1;
}

A: The class name is probably being injected in your animation name because of SASS nesting but without more context we can't be sure.
If you're trying to get this animation to work, you should change 2 things:

*

*opacity should be a number between 0 and 1, instead of 0% and
100%.

*You're setting the iteration count to 0 (fadeOut 5s
0 1), and the delay to 1 (without specifying units). You can check this by viewing the computed properties of the element. (try fadeOut 5s 1s)


The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has joined hands with Raman Media Network (RMN) Company to help small and medium businesses (SMBs) use technology for brand marketing and business development.
The program is being conducted under the directions of UNIDO's International Center for Advancement of Manufacturing Technology (UNIDO-ICAMT).
Kicked off during this month, November 2012, the objective of the program is to spread awareness among SMBs on the use of digital technologies to improve their marketing processes while targeting domestic as well as export markets.
The first leg of the program reached out to over 40 different Indian companies in Ahmedabad, Balasore, Cuttack, and Bhubaneswar – imparting digital marketing training to nearly 70 executives.
Rakesh Raman – who is a content management expert – of RMN Company is spearheading the program as the presenter/speaker. Besides holding group presentations and workshops, Rakesh also visited many industrial units selected by UNIDO to address their specific issues related to digital marketing.
Click to see the slideshow on the program.
As an extension to RMN Company's Tech-Wise Knowledge Center for SMBs on its tech site RMN Digital, the company has packaged this digital marketing program under its brand i-Marketer, which is a flexible corporate course that can be completed in 1 to 5 days.
Course modules include Traditional Marketing Concepts, Digital Marketing Scope, Need for Digital Marketing, Digital Marketing Channels, Digital Marketing Components, Social Media Management, Digital Advertising Platforms, Digital Ad Pricing, Search Engine Marketing, and Digital Impact Analysis.
Click to watch a short video clip on the program.
As businesses covered under the program have realized the benefits of modern digital marketing processes for their business development, their response has been extremely encouraging.
Excellent presentation. Have given latest information. Very encouraging. Very cooperative.
Most of the business persons have their own website. But they do not know how to get the benefits of that website or what is necessary to change is required. That lesson is given to us. Very excellent program for us.
Has given insight on all the aspects of digital marketing. Will help change the website and also help in using digital marketing to grow business and brand of the company.
We have already made our website, but how to get maximum benefit from the website, that we come to know from this programme.
This seminar has given new insight to develop our business by way of Website.
Yes it was a nice and educative one. New ideas and its exploration in business and many other features are truly helpful.
Firstly, it has taught me a new concept of highlighting my organization to the millions & billions around me. Secondly, it has taught me how to reach out to them directly in the virtual world.

Do you think Glock will make a model with a polymer slide?
rodeman
I was watching Top Shot on the Tivo the other night and they were shooting to pretty awesome guns. The FN FS2000 Bullpup which I would love to try out and the FN Five seveN that shoots 5.7x28mm. Here is a link to the FN page on the Five seveN - http://www.fnhusa.com/le/products/firearms/model.asp?gid=&fid=FNF003&mid=FNM0004
I'm curious if anyone thinks Glock would go the route of an all polymer slide? I am looking for my first handgun and I know it will be a block as I like the way they feel and shoot along with the simplicity of the design and maintenance. I've never seen the Five seveN and have no idea how it compares but from the photos, description on TV and on the web, it sounds like it's extremely light and with only the barrel and some internal parts being metal, there's little to no weight to it.
Have any of the members here fired or purchased one and do you think Glock would introduce a new model with this type of polymer design?
I don't see them doing that. It would bring a host of reliability issues.
Welcome to the Glock Forum rodeman !!
The FN Five Seven weighs in at about 1.3 lbs unloaded...
and the FN FS2000 Bullpup weighs in at about 7.5 to 8 lbs unloaded,
depending on the configuration...hardly " little to no weight to it "
And the Glock with a polymer slide...I doubt it...it won't work...period.
Argyle64
If you thought that FS2000 was cool. Shoot a P90 in full-auto. That'll give you a "semi".
Certified GLOCK Armorer
It's sad and pathetic how those who cry for "tolerance" are intolerant.
voyager4520
The slide isn't completely polymer, it's a steel slide with a polymer outer shell.
I'm not particularly fond of that idea and I don't think Glock would do it. The less the slide weighs, the stronger the recoil spring has to be and the faster the recoil spring needs to be replaced.
voyager4520 said:
The slide isn't completely polymer, it's a steel slide with a polymer outer shell....
I beg to differ...the slide is steel and is only covered in a black parkerized coating. Even if the black coating wears off, the slide is still protected by the
Tenifer... a proprietary surface finish that actually becomes one with the steel.
TENIFER
Unique GLOCK hi-tech surface refinement for barrel and slide. Apart from optimum corrosion protection and anti-reflective finish, a degree of hardness of 64 HRC - close to that of a diamond - is achieved.
TENIFER is termed for a chemical bath nitriding process whereby nitrogen is chemically released and introduced into the surface at a suitable high temperature to allow the chemical process to take place.
Using the liquid bath techniques, the temperature requires to activate the reaction is about 550 to 580 Celsius. The bath is performed in a molten, nitrogen-bearing liquid containing either cyanides or cyanates. However, cyanide-free liquid has also been used to release Nitrogen and then allow it to react chemically with steel (iron)at the surface (modern techniques).
Interestingly, when using the cyanide-free liquid, Tenifer is actually the salt bath nitro-carburing technique because it starts (first reaction) with Carbon-Nitride (CN) and allows it to react with Oxygen (0)to produce Nitro-carbon-dioxide byproduct plus Nitrogen. The simultaneous second reaction takes place when nitrogen (N) is in contact with Iron (Fe) to form FeN (iron-nidride).
The tenifer coating "composition" of Glock's steel slide is essentially that of FeN.
It is interesting to note that FeN coating is used mainly to increase the surface wear resistance to against galling and wear. The corrosion resistance is also better for iron and conventional steel that are NOT stainless steel. Most stainless steels need not to be nitrided. The reason is stainless steel has chromium to fight against corrosion and rust (this is why we call these material stainless). However, nitriding a stainless steel will almost always lower the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel. This is because the nitrogen will also react with some of the chrominum (Cr) at the surface of stainless steel to form Chrominum-nitride (CrN).
Obviously, gas-nitriding is a simpler process (but not necessary cheaper) to form a tough wear resistance coating. In this case, pure Nitrogen gas is chemically reacted with the metal such as iron (Fe) by holding the metal in the Nitrogen gas environment at high temperature allowing the chemical reaction to take place.
The true FeN (tenifer) coating has a dull-gray color surface. Definitely, never black. In some applications, FeN coatings can also be polished to give a bright metal finish appearance.
I so want a FN FS2000 Bullpup!!! Just for when I walk the dogs.

I've shot my buddys FN P90 PDW and absolutely loved it...
It's chambered for the 5.7x28mm round with a straight blowback closed bolt action
fed by a fifty round mag weighing in at 6.5 lbs fully loaded...awesome firepower !!
Shooter I think voyager was talking about the FN pistol's slide

Yeah I meant the FN 5.7 pistol's slide. When I first heard about it having a polymer slide I was like , then I looked into it a little more and it turns out the slide is still steel, it just has a polymer shell.
My bad...
Well...that really wasn't made too clear in the post above...my bad.
...but now everyone knows about the finish on the Glock slide !!
Thanks for all the comments everyone. I didn't realize it was a steel slide under the polymer. I am still interested in shooting one, one day, as they talked about how low the recoil was. But the Bullpup FS2000 is just awesome and I'd love to try that too.

The FN 5.7 is huuuuuuuge in your hand.

The FN 5.7 is really fun to shoot. Really light and the recoil is like a .22... Handgun that shoots a rifle round, but I doubt Glock will go FN's route.
Smile, wait for the flash!

The National Police riot squad armed with rubber bullets yesterday evicted a group of squatters from an old, historic palace belonging to Majorca aristocracy in Palma. The squatters moved in to the building last November and early yesterday morning a group of 20 police wearing protective clothing and carrying riot shields slipped in to the building in Can Oliver and caught the squatters by surprise. Once in position, police informed the squatters of the situation and asked them to leave, but on receiving no reply, enforced a Palma court's eviction order. Police evicted eight adults including the group's Italian spokesperson, a child and a large number of pets. Once the building was clear a team of builders moved in to block up the old palace to prevent the squatters from moving back in to the premises. The squatters complained of being illegally evicted, but there was no violence.
