Laura Anderson Barbata talks about her work
My name is Laura Anderson Barbata and I'll speak about my work Santos y profetas made in 1995, from the series En el orden del caos. In 1992 I started to work in Venezuela's Amazonas region on a project with the Yanomami, Piaroa, and Ye'kuana communities from Alto Orinoco. They taught me to make canoes and to understand different traditional techniques, and in exchange I taught them to make paper and books with natural fibers from the area, and to recycle the trash from the missions, adapting their traditional practices for the creation of illustrated books for the community in their language, without the need of materials not available in the vicinity. The whole community would choose the content of the books, and the first Yanomami book, titled Shapono received the prize for best book in 1996. The experience marked me deeply and radically changed my way of working. From that moment, it became eminently important to me to integrate reciprocity as a philosophy of life and work. During my multiple stays in the Amazon region, as is custom, we exchanged gifts, and on various occasions they gave me bird feathers. The beauty of these feathers has a spiritual power, and juxtaposing them with Catholic ex-votos made of wood, placed upon bases of scavenged wood, allows us to direct our gaze toward the complex coexistence of life in the area, communities that, from the time of the Conquest, have lived under the imposition of evangelization and the introduction of industrialized materials. When I see this work, I feel that it reaffirms not just the beauty of the feathers, and the lives they represent, but that it also alludes to their spiritual power, which goes beyond imposed doctrine. That is, even in the smallest detail we can find an immense universe from which we can learn.

Council still investing in fossil fuels, despite promise to stop
By Alice Richardson @alice_RNQ Local Democracy Reporter, Waltham Forest and Redbridge
The council has revealed £29.5million worth of investments in oil and gas, but has not disclosed any coal investments
The council is still investing some of its pension funds in fossil fuel companies, despite promising to stop doing so in 2016.
Waltham Forest Council became the first authority in the country to promise to entirely stop investing in fossil fuels by 2021 and last month the authority declared a climate emergency.
But the council still owns substantial shares in oil and gas companies across the world and did not disclose any of its investments in any coal or other fossil fuel-related companies worldwide.
Figures from December 2018 show the council invested £29.5 million from its pensions pot in a variety of oil and gas firms, including £8.6 million buying shares in BP and £14.1 million in Shell.
Currently, the council is enrolled in the London Collective Investment Vehicle (CIV) along with all of the other 32 boroughs in the capital.
This group sees council pension funds pooled and invested together in various companies. The decision as to which companies are invested in is not down to the individual councils, but the group.
As of December 31, 2018, it is estimated that fossil fuels accounted for 1.1 per cent (or £3.2 million) of the funds managed through the London CIV.
Away from CIV investments, however, Waltham Forest Council still separately invests in fossil fuel firms, pumping millions into smaller, lesser known oil and gas companies on top of its shares in BP and Shell.
A full break down of the amount of funding from the council's pension funds that are being invested in oil and gas is as follows:
Emerging Markets (through the London CIV):
Cairn: £0.6 million
Global Alpha investments (through the London CIV):
Apache Corp: £2.7 million
UK Equities:
Serica Energy: £1.4 million
Amerisur Resources: £2.1 million
BP: £8.6 million
Royal Dutch Shell: £14.1 million
Total: £29.5 million
This total does not include any investments in coal firms or companies that operate solely in the fossil fuel industry such as pipeline construction firms, which have not yet been disclosed.
The total amount in the Waltham Forest Council pension fund is £873 million.
Earlier this month, reports from the Waltham Forest Green Party stated the council still had £62.9 million invested in fossil fuel companies, including oil, gas, coal and related firms, at the end of the 2017/18 financial year in March 2018.
That amount was just £200,000 lower than the authority's original investment levels of £63.1 million in September 2016 when it promised to fully divest, nearly 2.5 years earlier.
But the council has stated those figures are now out of date.
A spokesman for the authority said there was substantial progress in the council's divestment from fossil fuels in the final months of 2018 alone.
They said: "The pension committee is in the process of developing an approach to achieve the aim to fully divest by 2021 and at the same provide the pension benefits for scheme members.
"The council is determined to cut carbon emissions both in its ways of working and its pension fund investments. We believe working together for a better environment creates a better quality of life for everyone. "


8 Most Expensive/ Priced Dog Breeds List | Expensive Animals | SuccessStory.
Dogs have widely been known for being man's best friend, and according to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, dogs were actually the very first animals to be domesticated. We do not how true this is, but we can testify that indeed Dog, contrary to public opinion, are the most loyal and social animals on the planet.
The dog' species have overtime cost their adorers thousands of dollars, owing from the rarity of the breed, the location and even the breeder. It is hard to believe that a pet this simple could attract a crazy price tag, but the truth is that they indeed do attract the highest price. Some of the renowned exotic breeds that are currently soaring in prices are listed below.
The Samoyed Specie is most expensive dog costing approximately 4,000 to 11,000 dollars. Their surcharged prices are accorded to their excellent agility, very capable of herding, pack hiking, pulling weights and conformity tendency suitable for shows. They have weather proof coats, coloring from pure white breeds, biscuit, among the black lips curling to resemble their Samoyed smiles.
Have you ever heard of the English bulldog? This is a popular one, partly because it cost quite a lot. Actually, the dog has a price tag of up to 9,000 dollars. They seem to storm the market despite their idiotic personality. They have distinct features of loose joints, short-faced heads and their vast shambled steps. They too poses attractive physique, calm and very adorable dogs regardless of their size. However, this breeds unlike others, are susceptible to many health implications.
Chow Chow looks like a funny name, but this comical noun is a name of one of the most expensive dogs in human history. The cost ranges between 3,000 and 8,500 dollars. This Chow Chow breed displays a masculine physique. It is an Arctic breed previously preferable for work assignments. Their description befits a lion resembling dog, with a massive coat and a distinct black or blue tongue. These expensive breeds are widely used in shows among other exhibitions.
Lowchen 5,000 dollars to 8,000 dollars. Lowchen breed meaning "little lion" in German is a magnificent mane-haired dog breed. Its elegant agility makes it suitable for outdoor activity.
The above sums up the list of the most expensive dogs ever known and sold in human history. It is important to note at this point that these dogs do attract such a high prices because they belong in the rare breed. It is highly unlikely that you will come across them with ease in your neighborhood or even in the neighborhood nearby or far away.

Q: Magento 2.1 CMS Guide I am building a new site using Magento 2.1 Community and am trying to add some fairly standard pages. I have no trouble adding these pages from Content->Elements->Pages->Add New Page but when I navigate to their link there is no header and footer on the page.
Looking for a guide link to how this is typically setup, I did run through the user guide and on this page:  it just has a note
"Now that your page is complete, it can be added to your store navigation, linked to other pages, or added as a link in the footer of your store. You can also use it as your new home page."
What are the typical steps I need to follow to add the site header bar to this page (or visa versa, not sure on the relationship there) and do so for all content pages I create.
I am using the default Luma theme. Various posts suggest editing a variety of xml files. Am I better served to create my own theme to preserve these changes or is there a module I should consider to make this process easier or is there a more complete guide that someone can point me to which will help answer this?
I am coming from a string familiarty with standard CMS's like Drupal and Wordpress as well as SaaS eCommerce like Shopify so aware of CMS fundamentals just not how they are handled in Magento.

A: You can specify the layout of a CMS page - Empty, 1 column, 2 column-left, etc. You probably have "Empty" selected. Fix:
Content>Pages. This takes you to a table of your pages. Locate the row with your page. The "Layout" column specifies the configured layout. Click this to enter an editing mode. Select 1 column from the dropdown. Save, and reload the storefront page.

I am one quarter Japanese. You can't tell by looking at me, or at least I don't think you can. I'm nearly 5'10" with brown hair and fair complexion. My brother however got the Japanese genes and has black hair and a slightly different complexion than I do. My 4'11" Japanese grandmother recently turned 85 (she would not like it if she knew I was advertising this information), and we live about 5 minutes away from one another. We are close and I am thankful for that. Every couple of years she wants to make sushi. Sometimes she recruits my mom to help, other times recruits me to help. Her recipe is one of her favorites that her mom made when she was growing up. About 5 years ago I wrote down all the ingredients we used, and she gave me a few more ingredients that she doesn't use that much anymore but her mom used a lot. Many of these are in Japanese (the packages were entirely in Japanese) but thankfully I looked them up online and find out what they were! She's always referred to her type of sushi as Makizushi, but often simply calls them Maki for short.
Sushi rice seasoned with sugar and rice wine vinegar. One time I was the designated rice stirrer, which is a very important job to ensure perfect consistency of the rice. Must stir under a fan. She's very proud of her sushi rice. Whenever we go out to an Asian restaurant and eat sushi, she comments how no one seasons their rice like she does.
Kampyo, which is strips of dried gourd. The strips are soaked in water to re-hydrate, then cooked in soy sauce and sugar.
Kamaboko, or red fish cake. She's left this out the last couple of times as well. Wikipedia defines it as " is a type of cured surimi (ground fish), a Japanese processed seafood product, in which various white fish are pureed, combined with additives such as MSG, formed into distinctive loaves, and then steamed until fully cooked and firm. Kamaboko has been made in Japan since the 14th century."
We have ordered just sushi as our meal at our local Japanese restaurant, however not this time. We ordered take-out from our favorite Thai restaurant called The Green Papaya in Montgomery, Alabama. It is wonderful, they call it Thai-Lao cuisine, and it's not at all like the other Thai restaurants we sometimes visit. Lots of basil and bell peppers in the dishes. The dishes below are their Pad Thai, Spicy Fried Rice, and Thai Basil.
These last two photos are from 2007. You can see some green and orange in the second photo, that's the avocado and cooked carrot.

thanks for sending the file of your submission through .
I had set a new deadline this morning wsa for panel members to send in any questions - an extention to them.
I have taken into account the evidence that has been submitted to you as I had agreed with you that you could provide your final evidence up to 24hrs before the appeal.
For my part I will ask and instruct all panel members to come through me for any questions that they wish to send to you. I do this because as the chair of the anel it is my responsibility to ensure taht all questions dael with the questions that face us rather than any issues relating to the previous hearing. Therfore I will insist that panel members DO NOT send questions directly to you. I also think it would be better if you have any communication for the panel memebers to likewise be directed to me in the first instance.
I note your willingness to take any questions after the today and I will therefore allow members of the panel to subkmit questions through me up to 24hrs before the panel hearing.

Dear Alun
This is just a short email to note that I have not received any questions about my submission of evidence, or in response to evidence from others, or even general questions.
I'm writing this just in case you have tried to send some through to me, but the email has somehow gone astray. I'm still prepared to answer any questions you have.
I'd also like to say that I would not normally have bypassed you by sending the submission through to Janet, Phil and Richard directly. I did it only because the deadline for asking questions, as it then stood, was less than five hours away and I wanted to give each of you as much time as possible to ask questions before it expired.

I'm a little surprised that I haven't heard from you following the Appeal Hearing set for 29 January. In your email of 20 January you said you hoped to inform all parties of the outcome within 24 hours, and that you would try to give an indication of how long it would take if this was not possible. I was prepared to wait a little longer to give you time to write things up, but as the weekend has now come and gone I am becoming increasingly concerned about the delay.
1. Would you confirm whether the meeting on 29 January took place or not.
2. If it took place as scheduled, would you please send me a record of any evidence presented to it; particularly by Chris, but also by any others.
3. If you made a decision that evening, would you please tell me what it is.
4. If you deferred making a decision (which would be understandable, for I had asked you to to this in order for me to have an opportunity to respond any previously undisclosed evidence) would you please set out a timetable for me to receive that evidence, respond to it, and for the Appeal Panel to then make a decision.
I can only guess at the reasons for this delay, but it might be appropriate to remind you that the remit of the Appeal Panel is only to determine whether the disciplinary procedure followed was flawed and therefore unjust. I have presented ample evidence to show that it was.
However, as I have said before, why it happened (and was allowed to happen), who was responsible, what action should be taken against those involved in wrongdoing, and what lessons can be learned to prevent anything similar happening in future are important for us as a party, but need to be dealt with separately.

Subject: Appeal Hearing 29th Jan 2014
Please find attached a copy of a letter that outlines the decisions of the Appeal Panel of 29th January.
As you will see from the letter the Panel has decided to uphold your appeal on two particular grounds and therefore the earlier decision of the Hearing panel is rescinded.
However the panel has determined that the Process should be re-started from the point at which any potential problems arose. In practice this means that the process has reverted to the time after the MDSP had determined that there is a case to answer and therefore a panel should be constituted and an Investigating Officer appointed to conduct the investigation. As detailed in the letter the process is still ongoing and therefore no public comments should be made at this time.
I have copied Dafydd Trystan into this email and have for the reasons outlined in the letter passed the role of constituting and determining the next steps to him. I am sure that he will be in touch with you shortly witrh his proposal for how the process is dealt with in this regard.
Dear Michael
Appeal Hearing convened at Ty Gwynfor, 29th January 2014
I am writing to inform you of the outcome of the Appeal hearing that was convened at Ty Gwynfor on the evening of 29th January in order to consider your appeal against the decision of the Formal disciplinary hearing convened at Ty Gwynfor, 3 December 2013.
The appeal panel decided to uphold your appeal with regard to two particular grounds:
• Failure to inform you of the timetable which may have caused an injustice.
• Potential factual inaccuracies may have been presented to the panel with
regard to your willingness or otherwise to supply information.
Whilst the panel found that there was no intention to mislead or to ignore procedure, it could not be certain that any infringement did not potentially lead to an unjust procedure.
It was therefore determined by the panel that the complaint levelled by Elin Jones AM should be re-started from the point in the procedure after which any irregularities may have occurred. It is our determination that a new investigation should be completed by an Investigative Officer and a timetable set for a new panel to hear the case.
May I remind you therefore that as the process has been restarted that the same restrictions apply to the dissemination of any information regarding this process. As stated previously this matter will be dealt with in the strictest confidence and only the chair of the party is authorised to make any public comment.
I am sending a copy of this letter to other parties that have an interest in this case, namely; Elin Jones (complainant), Chris Franks (Chair of MDSP) and Dafydd Trystan (PC Chair).
I will be further discussing with Dafydd and Rhuanedd the potential make up of the panel to hear this case as in some way or another most current members of the MDSP have already been involved with hearing the case or the appeal.
Chair of the appeal panel
Thank you for your email and attached letter of 4 February. I would make the following points:
1. The first and most important thing to note is that the remit of the Appeal Panel was only to determine whether the procedure followed by the Hearing Panel was flawed and therefore unjust. You decided that it was.
2. I note that you have refused to send me a copy of the evidence presented by Chris and, on top of that, went ahead and made a decision based, at least in part, on that evidence without giving me any opportunity to consider, question, challenge or rebut what he might say.
The Appeal Panel was given a golden opportunity to show that the behaviour of the Hearing Panel, and Chris in particular, was an aberration from the high standards which every member has a right to expect from those in positions of power within our party. But instead you have shown that the remainder of the MDSP is every bit as bad. You have completely ignored the fundamental principle of prior disclosure of evidence and, worse than that, have allowed Chris to give what is in effect secret evidence. The first was foolish, but the second is contrary to any concept of justice. This is characteristic of the clandestine culture that infests certain sections of Plaid Cymru.
3. You state you have "found that there was no intention to mislead or to ignore procedure". I must again remind you that was outside the remit of the Appeal Panel to make such a finding. As I said in my email of 3 February:
Why the obviously flawed procedure happened (and was allowed to happen), who was responsible, what action should be taken against those involved in wrongdoing, and what lessons can be learned to prevent anything similar happening in future are important for us as a party, but need to be dealt with separately.
I very much hope that the party does hold an inquiry into what has happened, and I would be happy to contribute to it, but this appeal was definitely not that inquiry. To put it bluntly, the whole way the MDSP operates needs to be reviewed in the light of what has happened, and you cannot pass judgment on yourselves.
4. The idea that the disciplinary procedure can now be "re-started" is simply not allowed for under SOs. In any event, it is laughable. Chris was warned time after time that SOs were being ignored, but went ahead anyway. Dafydd made the decision to deliberately turn a blind eye to the fact that SOs were being ignored even when asked to ensure that all procedures had been properly followed and that everyone was treated properly and fairly. In short, the party was given every opportunity to address this before the hearing took place, but didn't. How many bites at the cherry do you need?
5. Included in the document you sent me on 14 January was this statement from the minutes of the meeting of the full MDSP on 3 December:
Michael Haggett's complaint: The complaint and supporting evidence provided by Michael Haggett were fully considered by the members of the Panel. It was agreed that there were no grounds for any further action and the complaint was not upheld. Mr Haggett would be informed of this decision. The panel however resolved to write to the relevant elected groups to note that they needed to be careful when making speeches/announcements and to consider the impact their comments may have on the party.
If this is indeed what happened, I would note that I was never informed about it. I would also note that under clause 3.5 of SOs the reasons for such a decision would need to be conveyed to me as the complainant, and this was not done either. As for the letters or emails sent to the "relevant elected groups", I would have expected to be sent a copy of them in the same way as you sent Elin a copy of what you wrote to me.
The only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from the MDSP's failure to inform me of that decision, give me reasons for it, or send me copies of the letters of warning you resolved to send to the "relevant elected groups" is that you did not properly evaluate my complaint. If you had, you would have done these things at the time.
As I have said many times, it is simply not possible to consider my criticism of Rhun in isolation from the statements and actions that occasioned my criticism of him. The fact that one of our candidates resorted to telling a blatant lie is shameful and embarrassing to the party, and to me as a member of the party. But the fault is Rhun's for telling the lie, not mine for doing everything in my power to put right the damage he caused.
Yet it would not be right to single out Rhun for telling essentially the same lie that Elfyn, Bob and Dafydd had told before him. Fairness demands that all four should be held to account, rather than just one of them. But the whole disciplinary process has been handled, from beginning to end, so as to deliberately turn a blind eye to their lies. In my email of 11 September I warned Chris that if the party was so two-faced that it took action against a member for exposing what they have done, but did not take action against them for what they did to occasion such criticism, it would damage the public reputation of the party even more.
Don't say you weren't warned. As a result of this decision, you have made Plaid Cymru a complete laughing stock. You needed to treat my complaints against Rhun, Elfyn, Bob and Dafydd in exactly the same way as you treated Elin's complaint against me. The MDSP's refusal to act in an impartial and even-handed manner shows blatant bias and prejudice, has damaged the reputation of those responsible, and has brought shame and disgrace upon the party as a whole. Yet to compound this, it did not even enter your heads to want to "re-start" the disciplinary process against Rhun, Elfyn, Bob and Dafydd. You only want to "re-start" the disciplinary process against me. You are a bunch of hypocrites, and your double standards will now be obvious to everybody.
6. Your letter, once again, raises the bogus issue of confidentiality. I must therefore remind you of what I said to both Chris on 24 September and Dafydd on 28 October. The disciplinary procedure is not confidential and neither Chris, Dafydd nor the Appeal Panel can make up new rules out of thin air to say that it is. Clause 9.1 of SOs says nothing whatsoever about confidentiality, it only restricts people other than the Chair from making public statements "until after the conclusion of any appeal". The wording is precise and unambiguous. No matter what else might happen, this appeal has now been concluded, therefore I am perfectly free to make any public statements I wish.
Anyone in a position of power in Plaid Cymru who thought that they could get away with doing things behind closed doors, or thought that nobody else would get to hear about the two-faced way in which this matter has been handled, has miscalculated badly. At the outset, I hoped you would see reason and that I would have no need to make what has happened public, but the best protection against arbitrary and unfair use of power is openness and transparency. I therefore intend to publish everything on Syniadau, though I will redact personal information such as addresses and phone numbers.
I am doing this in order to uphold the public reputation of Plaid Cymru for the sake of the many dedicated people who are members of the party or who support us. As I have made clear from the beginning, I do not think it is in the best interests of the party as a whole to keep silent when individuals in positions of power within the party have done wrong or turned a blind eye to wrongdoing. Silence implies consent.
If the party leadership can demonstrate that they will take effective action to correct the lies and misinformation put out by what is, thankfully, only a small handful of our elected politicians, it will go a long way towards alleviating the damage to our reputation as a party of honesty. Either Leanne as leader or Llyr as spokesperson for energy needs to clearly and publicly state that Plaid Cymru's policy is one of total opposition to the construction of any new nuclear power stations in Wales, without making any distinction between new nuclear power stations on new sites and new nuclear power stations on existing sites.
Throughout this farce, this is the one truth so many people have gone to such extraordinary lengths to hide and hide from, but at the length truth will out. It is now time to stop hiding and face it.
It's rather hard to know what to say ...... how do people like this end up in roles like that?
It's a crisis of leadership. And a crisis in leadership means a crisis in funding. And now we can all understand why Rhun is maybe so important to the party.
If those who are leading the Party have any sense at all, they will drop this NOW. Leanne Wood needs to get a grip.
I've watched or listened to prominent elected members ride roughshod over party policy in the media for years. I'm heartily sick of it.
I'm not taking anyone's side, but the issue of party discipline has to be faced. Better see to it now, before irreparable damage is done. It's de-motivating for members, and will lose electoral support.
If I see or hear one AM or MP publicly misrepresenting party policy on nuclear power stations in future, I as an active member am GONE. No more hypocrisy.
Emlyn Uwch Cych said...
Not just nuclear energy, but also statehood and the Welsh language. Far too much Realpolitik; far too little cojones.
What does Plaid stand for? It's trying to reach out to too many disparate - often conflicting - constituencies. For crying out loud, you're not the Liberal Democrats!
Clywch! Clywch! Emlyn.

Congo war crimes suspect surrenders to US
Submitted by Jurist on Wed, 03/20/2013 - 23:08
Africa Theater
Congolese war crimes suspect Gen. Bosco Ntaganda surrendered himself to a US embassy in Rwanda on March 18 and requested extradition to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Ntaganda has been wanted by the ICC since 2006 on charges enlisting and conscripting children under the age of 15 and of using them to participate actively in hostilities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from July 2002 to December 2003. Ntaganda remained at large, however, and in 2012 ICC Pre-Trial Chamber II issued a second warrant for Ntaganda's arrest for additional war crimes and crimes against humanity in contravention of the Rome Statute:
Following a careful analysis of the material presented, the Chamber finds that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr. Ntaganda is criminally responsible as an indirect co-perpetrator (article 25(3)(a) of the Statute) for the crimes against humanity of murder (article 7(1)(a) of the Statute), rape and sexual violence (article 7(1)(g) of the Statute) and persecution (article 7(1)(h) of the Statute) and the war crimes of murder (article 8(2)(e)(i) of the Statute), pillaging (article 8(2)(e)(v) of the Statute) and rape and sexual violence (article 8(2)(e)(vi) of the Statute) … The Chamber recognizes that the arrest of Mr. Ntaganda still appears necessary to ensure his appearance at trial, to ensure that he does not obstruct or endanger the investigation and to precent the commission of crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court.
The latest charges stem from evidence presented during the ICC trial of Ntaganda's superior, DRC militia leader Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, who was sentenced to 14 years in prison after being convicted of enlisting and conscripting children under the age of 15 and using them to participate actively in hostilities. The US embassy is currently working with the Congolese and Rwandan governments to facilitate Ntaganda's extradition to the ICC.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has called for Ntaganda's arrest on three separate occasions: most recently a direct appeal in 2012 to DRC President Joseph Kabila, and previously in 2011 during an international conference after its first request in 2010. Prosecutor v. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo is a landmark case for the ICC because Lubanga was the first prisoner taken into custody and delivered to the international criminal tribunal in The Hague.
From Jurist, March 19. Used with permission.
Congo war crimes suspect denies charges before ICC
Congolese war crimes suspect Bosco Ntaganda denied charges at his first appearance before the International Criminal Court (ICC) March 26. Ntaganda is accused of 10 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, rape, pillage, using child soldiers and other crimes. After a court official read out the charges, Ntaganda said he pleaded not guilty. Members of the court cut him off and told him that he did not have to enter a plea at the hearing. The evidence against Ntaganda will be weighed in a subsequent hearing slated for Sept. 23.

Gunmen Kill Two Pakistani Polio Workers
By RFE/RL's Radio Mashaal
Two polio workers shot dead in Swabi, a rural district of the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
PARMOLO, Pakistan -- Unidentified attackers have shot dead two women working in an anti-polio drive in northwestern Pakistan.
The shooting occurred on January 29 in the village of Parmolo in the Swabi district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
The two were participating in a polio-immunization campaign in the area, local police told RFE/RL.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Police and locals said the two polio workers were attacked by armed motorcyclists. Authorities said they had launched an investigation.
In the past decade, Taliban militants have killed scores of health workers and police officers guarding them because they believe polio-vaccination campaigns are intended to sterilize Pakistani children.
Pakistan, one of the three countries in the world where polio is still endemic, regularly carries out anti-polio drives.

I read recently that the fashion industry has now officially decreed it 'de rigeur' to be ghostly pale. While people far cooler than me may feel white is the new brown, I find few things more unappealing than the sickly white hue that your average British figure has taken on at this time of year. And right now I'm furiously cursing my heritage. In just a few days I'm off to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday in a fabulous house in the Cotswolds. A house with a pool. I'm going to have to take my clothes off and I'm panicking. I'm just about to phone and cancel when my ever-patient wife suggests that perhaps I should book myself in for a spray tan.
A what? While unable to articulate why, the idea completely horrified me! Maybe the association with Essex and vajazzling is just too strong for my insecurities to handle but surely a spray tan is for women, vain men and beauty obsessives? Apologies, Mr Beckham but it just isn't very manly. However one more sad look in the mirror reminded me that these are desperate times and an appointment was duly made. It quickly became apparent that if you want to have a decent, natural looking tan then you need to prepare – nothing too taxing, but vital if you want to avoid tangerine knees. The night before the treatment I was advised to scrub, exfoliate and indulge in any usual hair removal routine (fortunately my hairy chest was safe otherwise all bets were off). I was to arrive on the day in loose dark clothing, free of moisturiser, aftershave, deodorant or any other product that might mess with the tanning agent. Despite having to work on probably the shabbiest canvas she's seen in years, the specialist made me feel totally at ease and before long I was loving being pampered. A barrier cream was liberally administered to my elbows, knees and feet (the areas most prone to turning orange) and then, with the required shade of brown selected, I stepped into the magnificent and futuristic shower unit to begin the bronzeification process.


"Pixar makes amazing, beautiful, hilarious, deep, wise films for kids, and adults can watch them and everybody watches them 25 times if they've got kids, and it's still funny. It's really, really great quality, where most things made for kids are made very cheaply. A lot of time and money is spent making the most accessible thing possible, and that's such an inspiration and so not what you learn at art school," Slatcher says.
Focus instead of widening the scope of service. Enhance the emotional appeal and encourage practical results.


We're all looking for new jobs or better jobs. We send out masses of emails, browse dozens of job listings, write handfuls of follow-up emails, and we beat the sidewalks, tirelessly searching for opportunities to meet us halfway. While we're exhausting ourselves, we find that some of our friends seem to gain employment effortlessly, even though we'd consider ourselves far more qualified, far more personable… and far more intelligent. Our resumes summarize our education and experience, and our cover letters, in our opinion, distinguish us from the rest. Yet, success eludes us, like many, and we'd like to know what our friends are doing, that we simply aren't.
When you were younger, you might have heard people say, "It isn't what you know, but who you know." That statement has more validity than you'd like to admit. Most up-incomers are achieving success by being someone's bedside fellow or someone's bosom buddy; so if you aren't rubbing elbows, then you're missing out.
Step One: Be bold, confident and engaging anytime you find yourself in a situation that may stand to be an opportunity for fundamental, financial or career growth.
Step Two: Have your personal pitch ready. In case you run into a CEO, manager or person of influence from a company you're interested in, learn how to sell yourself in a way that will not only make you stand out, but showcases your experience –and how that experience will influence your future.
Step Three: Get a business card. There's nothing more sleek and prepared than a person who has her contact information on hand and ready for distribution. Imagine what it says to possible employers that you are always prepared to connect with people and seize new opportunities.
Step Four: Respect the dynamics of the situation. If you realize it's an inopportune time to talk about business or anything of that nature –then make a clear and concise statement about your purpose, who you are, and distribute a business card for future contact.
The goal of successful networking skills is to not only being able to find a job, but to create a net of possibilities that span into different areas of interest. Well-meaning contacts can create ease when applying to colleges, applying to jobs, sharing creative endeavors, marketing and party planning.

Notes of Ch 13 Water (Oceans)| Class 11th Geography
Abhishek 31 May, 2020
Hydrological Cycle
• Water is a cyclic resource. It can be used and re-used.
• The hydrological cycle, is the circulation of water within the earth's hydrosphere in different forms i.e. the liquid, solid and the gaseous phases. It also refers to the continuous exchange of water between the oceans atmosphere, land surface and subsurface and the organisms.
• About 71 per cent of the planetary water is found in the oceans.
• The remaining is held as freshwater in glaciers and icecaps, groundwater sources, lakes, soil moisture, atmosphere, streams and within life.
• Nearly 59 per cent of the water that falls on land returns to the atmosphere through evaporation from over the oceans as well as from other places. The remainder runs-off on the surface, infiltrates into the ground or a part of it becomes glacier.
• It is to be noted that the renewable water on the earth is constant while the demand is increasing tremendously. This leads to water crisis in different parts of the world — spatially and temporally. The pollution of river waters has further aggravated the crisis.
Components and Processes of the Water Cycle
Components Processes
Water storage in oceans Evaporation
Water in the atmosphere Condensation
Water storage in ice and snow Snowmelt runoff to streams
Surface runoff Stream flow fresh water storage infilitation
Groundwater storage Groundwater discharge springs
Relief of the Ocean Floor
• The oceans are confined to the great depressions of the earth's outer layer.
• The geographers have divided the oceanic part of the earth into five oceans, namely the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, and the Arctic.
• The various seas, bays, gulfs and other inlets are parts of these four large oceans.
• A major portion of the ocean floor is found between 3-6 km below the sea level.
• The 'land' under the waters of the oceans, that is, the ocean floor exhibits complex and varied features as those observed over the land.
• The floors of the oceans are rugged with the world's largest mountain ranges, deepest trenches and the largest plains. These features are formed, like those of the continents, by the factors of tectonic, volcanic and depositional processes.
Divisions of the Ocean Floors
The ocean floors can be divided into four major divisions:
(i) the Continental Shelf;
(ii) the Continental Slope;
(iii) the Deep Sea Plain;
(iv) the Oceanic Deeps.
• Besides, these divisions there are also major and minor relief features in the ocean floors like ridges, hills, sea mounts, guyots, trenches, canyons, etc.
Continental Shelf
• The continental shelf is the extended margin of each continent occupied by relatively shallow seas and gulfs. It is the shallowest part of the ocean showing an average gradient of 1° or even less.
• The shelf typically ends at a very steep slope, called the shelf break.
• The average width of continental shelves is about 80 km.
• The shelves are almost absent or very narrow along some of the margins like the coasts of Chile, the west coast of Sumatra, etc.
• On the contrary, the Siberian shelf in the Arctic Ocean, the largest in the world, stretches to 1,500 km in width. The depth of the shelves also varies. It may be as shallow as 30 m in some areas while in some areas it is as deep as 600 m.
• Massive sedimentary deposits received over a long time by the continental shelves, become the source of fossil fuels.
Continental Slope
• The continental slope connects the continental shelf and the ocean basins.
• It begins where the bottom of the continental shelf sharply drops off into a steep slope.
• The gradient of the slope region varies between 2-5°.
• The depth of the slope region varies between 200 and 3,000 m. The slope boundary indicates the end of the continents.
• Canyons and trenches are observed in this region.
Deep Sea Plain
• Deep sea plains are gently sloping areas of the ocean basins. These are the flattest and smoothest regions of the world.
• The depths vary between 3,000 and 6,000m. These plains are covered with fine-grained sediments like clay and silt.
Oceanic Deeps or Trenches
• These areas are the deepest parts of the oceans.
• The trenches are relatively steep sided, narrow basins.
• They are some 3-5 km deeper than the surrounding ocean floor.
• They occur at the bases of continental slopes and along island arcs and are associated with active volcanoes and strong earthquakes. That is why they are very significant in the study of plate movements.
• As many as 57 deeps have been explored so far; of which 32 are in the Pacific Ocean; 19 in the Atlantic Ocean and 6 in the Indian Ocean.
Minor Relief Features
• Apart from the above mentioned major relief features of the ocean floor, some minor but significant features predominate in different parts of the oceans.
Mid-Oceanic Ridges
• A mid-oceanic ridge is composed of two chains of mountains separated by a large depression.
The mountain ranges can have peaks as high as 2,500 m and some even reach above the ocean's surface.
• Iceland, a part of the mid- Atlantic Ridge, is an example.
Submarine Canyons
• These are deep valleys, some comparable to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river.
• They are sometimes found cutting across the continental shelves and slopes, often extending from the mouths of large rivers.
• The Hudson Canyon is the best known submarine canyon in the world.
Guyots
• It is a flat topped seamount.
• They show evidences of gradual subsidence through stages to become flat topped submerged mountains.
• It is estimated that more than 10,000 seamounts and guyots exist in the Pacific Ocean alone.
• These are low islands found in the tropical oceans consisting of coral reefs surrounding a central depression.
• It may be a part of the sea (lagoon), or sometimes form enclosing a body of fresh, brackish, or highly saline water.
Temperature of ocean waters
Factors Affecting Temperature Distribution
• Latitude : The temperature of surface water decreases from the equator towards the poles because the amount of insolation decreases poleward.
• Unequal distribution of land and water : The oceans in the northern hemisphere receive more heat due to their contact with larger extent of land than the oceans in the southern hemisphere.
• Prevailing wind : The winds blowing from the land towards the oceans drive warm surface water away form the coast resulting in the upwelling of cold water from below. It results into the longitudinal variation in the temperature. Contrary to this, the onshore winds pile up warm water near the coast and this raises the temperature.
• Ocean currents : Warm ocean currents raise the temperature in cold areas while the cold currents decrease the temperature in warm ocean areas. Gulf stream (warm current) raises the temperature near the eastern coast of North America and the West Coast of Europe while the Labrador current (cold current) lowers the temperature near the north-east coast of North America.
Horizontal and Vertical Distribution of Temperature
• The temperature-depth profile for the ocean water shows how the temperature decreases with the increasing depth.
• The profile shows a boundary region between the surface waters of the ocean and the deeper layers.
• The boundary usually begins around 100 - 400 m below the sea surface and extends several hundred of metres downward.
• This boundary region, from where there is a rapid decrease of temperature, is called the thermocline.
• About 90 per cent of the total volume of water is found below the thermocline in the deep ocean. In this zone, temperatures approach 0° C.
• The temperature structure of oceans over middle and low latitudes can be described as a three-layer system from surface to the bottom.
→ The first layer represents the top layer of warm oceanic water and it is about 500m thick with temperatures ranging between 20° and 25° C. This layer, within the tropical region, is present throughout the year but in mid latitudes it develops only during summer.
→ The second layer called the thermocline layer lies below the first layer and is characterised by rapid decrease in temperature with increasing depth. The thermocline is 500 -1,000 m thick.
→ The third layer is very cold and extends upto the deep ocean floor.
• In the Arctic and Antarctic circles, the surface water temperatures are close to 0° C and so the temperature change with the depth is very slight. Here, only one layer of cold water exists, which extends from surface to deep ocean floor.
• The average temperature of surface water of the oceans is about 27°C and it gradually decreases from the equator towards the poles. The rate of decrease of temperature with increasing latitude is generally 0.5°C per latitude.
• The oceans in the northern hemisphere record relatively higher temperature than in the southern hemisphere. The highest temperature is not recorded at the equator but slightly towards north of it.
• This variation is due to the unequal distribution of land and water in the northern and southern hemispheres.
• The heat is transmitted to the lower sections of the oceans through the process of convection.
Salinity of ocean waters
• Salinity is the term used to define the total content of dissolved salts in sea.
• It is calculated as the amount of salt (in gm) dissolved in 1,000 gm (1 kg) of seawater.
• It is usually expressed as parts per thousand or ppt.
• Salinity of 24.7 %has been considered as the upper limit to demarcate 'brackish water'.
Factors affecting ocean salinity
• The salinity of water in the surface layer of oceans depend mainly on evaporation and precipitation.
• Surface salinity is greatly influenced in coastal regions by the fresh water flow from rivers, and in polar regions by the processes of freezing and thawing of ice.
• Wind, also influences salinity of an area by transferring water to other areas.
• The ocean currents contribute to the salinity variations. Salinity, temperature and density of water are interrelated. Hence, any change in the temperature or density influences the salinity of water in an area.
Highest salinity in water bodies Lane Van in Turkey (330 o /∞).
Dead Sea (238 o /∞).
Great Salt Lake (220 o /∞).
Horizontal distribution of salinity
• The salinity for normal open ocean ranges between 33°/∞ and 37°/∞ .
• In the land locked Red Sea, it is as high as 41°/oo , while in the estuaries and the Arctic, the salinity fluctuates from 0 - 35°/∞ , seasonally.
• In hot and dry regions, where evaporation is high, the salinity sometimes reaches to 70 o/∞.
• The salinity variation in the Pacific Ocean is mainly due to its shape and larger areal extent.
• Salinity decreases from 35°/∞ - 31°/∞ on the western parts of the northern hemisphere because of the influx of melted water from the Arctic region.
• The highest salinity is recorded between 15° and 20° latitudes.
• Maximum salinity (37 o/∞) is observed between 20° N and 30° N and 20° W - 60° W.
• It gradually decreases towards the north.
• The North Sea, in spite of its location in higher latitudes, records higher salinity due to more saline water brought by the North Atlantic Drift. Baltic Sea records low salinity due to influx of river waters in large quantity.
• The Mediterranean Sea records higher salinity due to high evaporation.
• Salinity is, however, very low in Black Sea due to enormous fresh water influx by rivers.
• The average salinity of the Indian Ocean is 35 o/∞. The low salinity trend is observed in the Bay of Bengal due to influx of river water.
• On the contrary, the Arabian Sea shows higher salinity due to high evaporation and low influx of fresh water.
Vertical Distribution of Salinity
• Salinity changes with depth, but the way it changes depends upon the location of the sea.
• Salinity at the surface increases by the loss of water to ice or evaporation, or decreased by the input of fresh waters, such as from the rivers.
• Salinity at depth is very much fixed, because there is no way that water is 'lost', or the salt is 'added.'
• There is a marked difference in the salinity between the surface zones and the deep zones of the oceans.
• The lower salinity water rests above the higher salinity dense water.
• Salinity, generally, increases with depth and there is a distinct zone called the halocline, where salinity increases sharply. Other factors being constant, increasing salinity of seawater causes its density to increase.
• High salinity seawater, generally, sinks below the lower salinity water. This leads to stratification by salinity.


Screaming children are now fixed with the click of a button or the tap of a touch screen. Some may think of technology as the new and improved medicine to keep kids calm, but I think it's leading kids in the wrong direction.
Over the summer, I worked at a local breakfast restaurant where every day, families of four or five would pile into my waiting section. I would greet them with a smile and ask what they would like to drink. When I returned with their beverages, more often than not, the children at the table would be occupied with laptops or iPads. Before I observed this, I didn't think 2- and 3-year-olds knew what iPads were, let alone how to work them on their own.
I have no idea what it is like to have kids. I don't know how stressful it is or how much work parents put into their children's lives every day, and I am not trying to criticize moms for wanting a little peace and quiet. I just wish kids could appreciate activities outside the dominion of technology. When I was younger, coloring at a restaurant was a rare luxury. Toys were never packed in my mom's purse to keep me preoccupied. I played with my brother or talked to my family.
Unfortunately, restaurants are not the only place I have spotted this new technology craze. I see children on laptops in malls, grocery stores and doctor's offices, as well. My fear is that soon we will see this behavior everywhere we go.
Kids need to grow up playing outside and reading with their parents. They need to learn how to behave in public without the motivation of some kind of treat. By giving them access to all types of technology, we are hindering them because we're teaching them that it is OK to be sedentary all the time. When parents shove an iPad in their child's face to stop the tantrum they're throwing, it sends the wrong message. Good behavior, not bad, should be rewarded.
A little TV time never hurt anyone. A movie a week is fine. But playing mindless games for hours every day is simply unacceptable. If parents continue to let their children play on iPads all the time, think about what their grandchildren will be doing. Kids will become lazy and antisocial. We need to change this habit now before it is too late. Press pause every once in a while. Hit the streets for a game of "Tag" or "Red Rover." Show your kids that there really are healthy ways to have fun.

7 Best Movies About Freedom That You Should Watching Update 01/2023
Posted on January 8, 2022 by [email protected]
You're seeking for a film to watch over the weekend that will help you think about what freedom means. Check out this list for all of your needs!
1. Alone Yet Not Alone
The film begins with a soothing tune and beautiful scenery. In the year 1755, America was seen as a safe sanctuary for families looking for religious liberty and economic opportunity. Her family recently relocated to Pennsylvania. Her father frequently reads from the family Bible at their remote cabin in the woods. He assures the family that no matter how difficult things get, God will never abandon them. Her mother and brother were on a trip away from the house when Indians broke in and caused a lot of damage. The Indians kidnap Barbara and Regina as they run into the woods. He witnesses to the Indian brave who wants to be her husband as she matures into a woman but maintains her trust in God.
2. Beyond the Mask
Is a fast-paced and action-packed film about the people who helped us gain our independence. It concludes with the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which is based on actual events, but there is a lot of action, battles, and even a little romance before that. In addition to Andrew Cheney as William Reynolds, Kara Killmer as Charlotte Holloway, and John Rhys-Davies as Charles Kemp, the cast is full of talented actors. Despite his violent past, Reynolds manages to land a job as a vicar at a church. After he was shot, Charlotte discovered him nearly drowning in the river. Charlotte is drawn to him when he is made vicar of the church, but she can sense he is more of a friend of God's acquaintance than a true friend.
3. Freedom Writers
In this narrative, a twenty-three-year-old English instructor at a gang-infested Long Beach, California, high school is assigned the unpleasant chore of teaching freshman English. Hilary Swank stars in Richard LaGravenese's film adaptation of Erin Gruwell's best-seller The Freedom Writer's Diaries, which uses innovative methods to break through to her resistant students. This is the story of how a teacher and 150 teens used writing to transform themselves and the world around them. As her students were written off and her chances of success were dismissed, Gruwell refused to give up. Gruwell's use of Anne Frank's and Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life in Sarajevo's writings allowed her students to learn more than just the fundamentals of the English language.
4. The Patriot
The film illustrates our ancestors' valor in the face of the tyrant King George and his well-trained army. In addition, there are emotional ties that bind characters together throughout the plot. This is shown in the example of a white farmer who had previously assumed that African-Americans could not be as courageous and selfless as he was. When our hero battles with a French officer from the army he fought in the French and Indian War, another example comes to mind. Film viewers see a God-fearing people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their friends and neighbors, as represented in the film. To put it another way, these are people who have good morals. In two instances, we see the main character kneel before God and plead for his pardon.
5. Selma
based on a Civil Rights march on a bridge in Selma, Alabama, is the name of the film and the town where the events occurred. They intended to attract attention to their right to vote and the Civil Rights struggle as a whole. As a result, police officers used clubs and tear gas to assault and gas civilians. It wasn't until later that Dr. King himself joined a peaceful protest march of his own. In the second group, one-third of the whites were present.
6. To End All Wars
this documentary depicts how a Japanese prisoner of war camp became a struggle during World War II for the souls and lives of its Allied detainees. Since it's an actual story, "To End All Wars" revolves around the characters of Ernest Gordon, an up-and-coming soldier who wants to open an educational institution in the midst of a war zone but is opposed by his superior officer Ian Campbell, and Jim Reardon, the sole American operating a black market. The only way soldiers can survive under the camp's continuous violence is to find a purpose for their life.
7. Unbroken
depicts the actual story of Louis Zamperini, a rebellious young man who tried drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes as a teenager. Although his parents were faithful and strict, he was nurtured by a loving and dedicated family that cared for him. When Louis saw his mother pray for him, she didn't know he was watching. His brother Pete saw that Louis had a natural talent for sprinting. As a result, Louis was able to beat the record for the fastest time in his high school's track and field team. Then he finds himself in the middle of World War II, where he is captured by the Japanese and held as a POW. After attending a Billy Graham crusade, his life was forever transformed.

Q: Auto add items to cart upon login: default behavior? John goes to bestwidgets.com and puts 5 red widgets in his cart, logs in then decides not to purchase red widgets and logs out.
John comes back the following day (to the same machine) and decides what he needs are blue widgets. He adds 5 blue widgets to his cart and proceeds to checkout. He then logs in and keeps on trucking thru the one page checkout. Only AFTER he finishes his purchase he realizes that 5 red widgets got automatically added to his cart (when he logged in, though most people wont even realize that).
John now thinks bestwidgets.com are crooks, cancels his order and never comes back.
Am I missing something here or is this magento's default behavior!??
Magento Community 1.5.1.0

A: This is the default behavior in Magento, but this has nothing to do with the "Persistent Shopping" feature but with "Quote Life Time". As usual with Magento we left the decision how the store should work to the merchants running the store as they know their market best and what is the best way to configure their store. If you go to System->Configurations under Sales->Checkout in the Shopping Cart tab you should be able to set the number of days the quote (or shopping cart) is remembered (Quote Lifetime (days)). Setting it to 0 should not remember the cart between each login of the customer.

A: If your using Enterprise: Enterprise_Persistent and/or Community Mage_Persistent disable them via app/etc/modules in the corresponding XML to disable this functionality if your worried about customers not realizing their previous added products are in their cart during checkout.

A:
Am I missing something here or is this magento's default behavior!??

Yes it is Magento's default behavior. I get your opinion about the crookishness feeling on this, however, I believe most would say it's to help the customers remember what they were looking at and help them spend money. Subtle difference...


1 Nevertheless the first had its justifications of worship and its worldly sanctuary.
2 For there was a tabernacle made: the first, in which was the lampstand and the table and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary.
5 and over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the seat of reconciliation, of which we cannot now speak particularly.
10 but in foods and drinks and different washings and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of correction.
12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the sanctuary designed for eternal redemption.
14 how much more shall the blood of the Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from the works of death to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, so that death intervening for the redemption of the rebellions that took place under the first testament, those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity intervene the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is confirmed by the death: otherwise it is not valid as long as the testator lives.
18 From which came that not even the first one was dedicated without blood.
20 saying, This is the blood of the testament which God has commanded unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 So that it was necessary that the figures of the heavenly things should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
26 otherwise it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times since the foundation of the world; but now once in the consummation of the ages he has appeared to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself.
28 so also the Christ is offered once to take away the sins of many; and unto those that wait for him without sin he shall appear the second time unto saving health.

OK, so you've got your website, it's working well and you've got all the on-site basics Google needs in order to know what you do and where you're located...but you're still not showing as high in the search results as you'd like to. What's next? I'm excited to welcome lifestyle blogger Emma Norris to the blog today to give us some tips on how to get more publicity for your studio—and improve your SEO at the same time. Emma has worked as a Health Editor, Journalist and Content Producer at some of Australia's top print and digital publications, like Cosmopolitan and Sporteluxe to name a few. She knows the publishing industry and knows what it takes to get featured. I hope you enjoy this first ever guest post on the Pixality blog!
A few years back, being featured in a national or even local magazine or newspaper was considered the holy grail for fitness and yoga studio owners.
In the modern era, gaining media coverage for your studio is still of utmost importance. And, of course, getting published in a print publication is still something to celebrate about! But the focus has now shifted to the digital world, which brings endless opportunities to studio owners. In being published in large digital publications or even smaller blogs, there's the potential to reach a global audience, as well as a highly targeted, local one. Plus, you can repost links to the articles you've been featured in on your own website and social media platform, to help build your studio's credibility.
Not only that, but being published on other reputable websites boosts your SEO by improving your backlink profile (aka. the amount of sites that link back to you) and therefore, your domain authority — which impacts how high you show up in Google. For example, if you're a yoga studio in Pennsylvania and you get featured in an article about the best yoga studios in Pennsylvania, well, that's going to work wonders for your SEO.
By hosting a media launch and inviting journalists. Remember, everyone enjoys free stuff and fitness journalists tend to love trying out new classes and studios. By allowing them to come in and actually experience your studio for themselves, they're more likely to write about you or post about you on social media. You could also offer them the opportunity to hold a giveaway on their blog and publication in return for coverage. For example, by giving one of their readers a monthly free pass to your studio.
By offering your expertise. Health and fitness journalists are always looking for experts they can reference in their articles. So, if you're a qualified exercise physiologist, personal trainer, nutritionist or pilates instructor, use that as a pathway for getting your studio into the publication. Let them know you're available for expert quotes and they'll be likely to keep you at the forefront of their mind for when they need one. Just make sure you ask them to link back to your website when they supply the quote. The website Help A Reporter is great for this, as you can join a database of professionals that journalists call upon when they need expert references.
By becoming a contributor. You can also take the above step further by becoming a contributor for health and lifestyle publications. Many titles accept articles from people who are experts in their field. Generally, they won't pay for submissions, but it's a fantastic way to raise awareness of your studio as well as building your personal brand. Not a strong writer? I can help you craft content around the quotes or dot points you provide. Book your free consultation here.
By sending a targeted press release. This is perhaps the most 'old school' way of contacting journalists, but it can still work — if done correctly. In this day and age, most journalists prefer being contacted by email. But therein lies the problem — they get hundreds of emails every day. So, yours really needs to cut through the clutter and stand out. Firstly, you need to have a punchy subject line to ensure your email is going to get read in the first place — think of this as the headline of your press release. Secondly, you need to make it clear what makes your studio different to all the others, or have a specific reason for your email (like inviting them to experience a class, as mentioned above.) Thirdly, your press release needs to be targeted to their specific publication.
Note: If you do get featured in a digital media publication (yay!), just make sure that the link back to your site is a 'do follow link,' not a 'no follow' link. The former allows search engines to acknowledge your website and ensures you get the SEO juice, while the latter doesn't. You can use Moz's SEO toolbar or the NoDoFollow Firefox plugin to check this. If it does show up a 'no follow' link, you may want to politely enquire with the journalist whether they can change this.

Nature vs. Nurture
Nature vs. nurture has been discussed by philosophers in the past and by scientists more recently. Philosophers such as Plato argued that all knowledge was inherited from your parents and when you were told something you didn't learn it you were just reminded of it. Aristotle however argued that all humans were born with a blank slate and built on it with influence from there environment. In the 1700's the empiricists and the internalists took over the argument. They fought through letters explaining there point of views and denouncing the others. This leads to Pavlov coming up with the idea of behaviorism in the early 1900's. Behaviorism became the new wave of Psychology and influenced a lean towards the nurture side. It was not effectively argued against until 1928 when Watson published his book. This opened up the floodgates for environmental influences studies. Soon the idea of nurture was the popular excuse for behavior. Studies using animals were the most popular was in which scientists used to prove a theory, or disprove a theory. The newest studies use human twins to prove nature vs. nurture.
An age-old question has been asked for generations before us. What is the reasons behind the development of human behavior? There have been many theories formulated to explain why humans behave the way they do. Explanations vary from demonology to magnetic fluids controlling people's behaviors. Over time, two theories have remained
popular in academic fields such as philosophy and psychology. The surviving theories for behavior stem from physiological and sociological explanations. However, the two explanations have not always been compatible with each other. The famous nature vs. nurture debate over human behavior resulted from conflicting views between proponents of the physiological (nature) and sociological (nurture) explanations. Throughout history, research has swayed popularity back and forth between the theories. Yet, theorists have broken down the line separating nature and nurture. Today, people us both explanations in research to advance the knowledge of human behavior.
Thousands of years before the field of psychology, philosophers pondered on
human behavior. As early as 350 BC, such philosophers as Plato and Aristotle
tried to understand behavior. The question of nature or nurture as the primary
drive can be traced to these...
...y the effects of
each in development. In these future studies, more groundbreaking advances will
be made to aid humans in better understanding human behavior. In the end, that
is what both sides of the nature vs. nurture debate intended to accomplish.

Whereas, Aristotle believed in the thought of, "tabula rasa," which means blank slate. This thought can conclude that everyone is born mindless and you gain your own unique knowledge and behavior from your experiences. For example, things such as, personality, intelligence, sexuality, attitude and habits are all created new.

CRT: U.S will withhold key Treaty review analysis from public
August 7, 2013 by naiads	Leave a comment
On August 6, 2013, the U.S. Entity (Bonneville Power and Corps of Engineers), issued a letter announcing that, in their "continued efforts to provide openness and transparency," they will not release the technical documents that support their recommendations for re-negotiating or updating the Columbia River Treaty. The agencies stated that they will not disclose these analytic documents to stakeholders and the public to ensure that upcoming discussions with Canada "not be compromised."
The U.S. Entity is tasked with preparing recommendations regarding future operations of Columbia River dams with respect to power production, flood control, and as a third new purpose of the Treaty, ecosystem restoration. The Entity recently issued a set of working draft recommendations that are now circulating for public comment, and is expected to issue the next draft on September 6.
The working draft recommendations are being criticized by both conservation groups and the 15 Native American Tribes that live in the Basin. Of particular concern is that the working draft over-emphasizes the status quo for hydropower production and flood control, and does not give co-equal status to environmental restoration and functioning of the Columbia River.
Throughout the multi-year process, the U.S. agencies have repeatedly promised that the final round of technical analysis would inform the public about the trade-offs between different uses of the River. For example, in April 2012 at a Spokane conference, a U.S. Entity spokesman noted that stakeholder comments would be addressed in Iteration 3 of the technical analysis.
Just this month, however, a consortium of 72 Columbia Basin utilities (self-styled the Treaty Power Group) urged the U.S. to "terminate" the Treaty unless an updated Treaty substantially reduces their obligations to share with Canada the surplus energy produced as a result of coordinated operation of Canadian dams (known as the Canadian Entitlement). With former BPA chief Steve Wright moving to general manager of Chelan PUD, the lead entity of the utilities consortium, and former 18-term U.S. Congressman Norm Dicks serving as their lobbyist, the utilities may be exercising substantial influence over the U.S. Entity's decision process.
The utility consortium's position may put the U.S. at serious risk of losing the benefits of coordinated operation of dams, given the British Columbia conclusion in its June 2013 analysis of U.S. benefits from the CRT that "[t]he only benefit to Canada from the Treaty is the sharing of downstream benefits from additional power production potential made possible by the coordination of flows. . . . Simply put, without the Canadian Entitlement, British Columbia would see no reason for the Treaty to continue."
The technical documents may show that coordinated operations to benefit the Columbia River ecosystem is a viable alternative to the present operational protocols, and could create new incentives for Canada to maintain the Treaty.

Improve your SEO with our smart WordPress SEO Plugin in a few easy steps.
Do you want to be at the top of Google and significantly increase your income? With the help of our plugin, this task becomes much easier. You no longer need to hire and pay an SEO specialist to get your website to the top of Google. Our SEO Plugin has been developed by current SEO experts and is a brand-new solution in the SEO field. A set of modules that come with our SEO Plugin will help you professionally optimize each page of your site, and our Configuration Wizard will assist you in paying closer attention to the important points of the program.
We did not merely create another plain old WordPress SEO Plugin, we have developed it in a way that simplifies the installation and setup of the SEO parameters on your site, and matches the latest Google recommendations. With our plugin, you do not have to be an SEO or WordPress professional.
WordPress SSL (HTTPS). This module scans your site and its setup, letting you configure an SSL Certificate in one click. Meanwhile, the module will set up all the necessary settings of the WordPress CMS. Google has officially stated that Google Chrome will mark all websites without an SSL Certificate as unsecured, in addition to displaying a warning message on the browser.
Title and Meta Description. You can automate the process of optimizing your meta title and meta description, and you can set them individually for each page.
Attachment Redirect. When you add a picture or video to your blog post, WordPress creates a separate page with that attachment. Hundreds of pages end up on the Google index where they do not belong. Our module assigns a 301 redirect from the page containing the attachment to the page with the actual information.
Duplicate Content. To protect against duplicate content, you can assign Canonical URLs, or you can set a Noindex tag in the page setup.
XML Sitemap Generator. Create XML sitemaps in one click. Set up the XML sitemap module and Google will index the new pages of your site much faster.
Complete integration of Google Webmaster, Bing, & Yahoo webmaster.
Optimization and the ability to override titles on pages and blog posts.
Use Noindex for categories, tags, archives, and search results.
Shorten Page URL. This feature will automatically shorten the page URL so that the URL is not too long.
Redirect Manager. Easily create 301 or 302 redirects from old pages to new. You can also create a custom redirect for the 404 page.
Configuration Wizard. The step-by-step SEO Configuration Wizard will help you set up and optimize all the main WordPress parameters to successfully promote your site on search engines.
Note: Some features may be limited in the free version of the plugin. For example, there is a 100-page limit when scanning for the presence of meta descriptions.
Practically every site has pictures, photographs, and other types of images, even image galleries. Just like texts, images also require optimization and organization in addition to other page elements. As a result, image placement and optimization not only increases page relevance and search ranking, but it also drives traffic to your site due to the presence of your pictures on Google Images.
The smaller the image file size (in kilobytes), the less time it takes to load on the page. The most popular image formats are .jpg, .png, and .gif. These image formats are optimized in different ways, which gives way to a good ratio of image size to file size for every type of image (icons, pictures, photos). Choose your image formats correctly.
Poor image optimization could make your site undesirable to users. This is especially true for landing pages since much value is placed on having an appealing picture. If the file size of the picture is too high, then the landing page will take too long to load. If the size is too small, then the image is most likely low quality, which could drive the user away and decrease conversion.
Our WordPress SEO plugin not only lowers the size of images, but it also optimizes the picture to match the Google recommendations. With just one click, you can enhance user experience and boost your site's SEO position by improving the site's speeds.
Our plugin contains a set of security modules that will help you secure your website and prevent a drop in search ranking, or landing on the Google blacklist. We have added features to protect against brute force attacks, prevent unauthorized control panel access, and uncover hidden links from your site that lead to other low-quality sites.
BlackList Monitoring. Often, hackers find a vulnerability within your website and use it to send spam, or create thousands of trash pages, which end up contributing to their own SEO promotion for their projects. When Google notices that kind of activity, it adds the website to its blacklist and completely stops traffic to your site. Our module will take swift action if your website ends up on a blacklist for Google, McAfee, Norton, BitDefender, PhishTank, WebSecurityGuard, and others.
GeoIp Protection. This feature will help you block undesired traffic from certain countries and protect you from DDOS attacks, brute force attacks, content scraping, and it will increase the loading speed of your web pages.
Bad links Protection & Removal. This module scans your website for the presence of hidden links that may have been installed by dishonest developers, or hackers.
Two-Factor Authentication. This is an additional layer of security for WordPress CMS. Besides you, nobody will be able to access your website's admin panel.
Our module in real time determines the bot or real visitor on your site and blocks the activity of bots, while accelerating the loading of pages for real visitors, thus improving the user experience. This reduces the load on the hosting and the server, saves traffic and increases page load several times..
The necessary bots (Google, Yahoo. Msn, etc) will easily access the site and index the pages, just like real users. The necessary search bots are determined based on the User-Agent and PTR records. All the rest are checked by the module's algorithm and only full browsers that have passed the test of the module.
The SEO Protection module saves all changes that are important for SEO on the website and allows you to go back at any time. You can also keep track of all the changes that were made on the site by your SEO specialist, or by your employees. The module tracks changes in the title, description, content and keywords on the pages of your site. In simpler terms, this is something like GitHub for SEO.
The module for importing settings from other plugins makes it easy to transfer all SEO settings from one in one seo pack, yoast, SEO Ultimate, Platinum SEO and many others with one click. You can safely switch from other plugins to ours, saving all possible SEO settings of the site.

How is the Real Time Seo Plugin different from many other SEO plugins for WordPress?
Our plugin is developed and sustained by SEO specialists who don't feel that SEO is just another job, but a way of life. Search engine algorithms frequently change, and we will continuously update our plugin with the new changes, surpass the competition, and add new features so that our clients can always stay one step ahead of others.
Do you plan on expanding the plugin's features?
Of course! Soon, our clients will get added features and more settings that will let you swiftly get to the top of search engines.
All features are available on the free version; however, they have certain limitations for larger websites. For example, our SEO mistake scanner displays up to 100 pages of mistakes on the free version, and an unlimited amount on the paid version. For that reason, our plugin is absolutely free and unlimited for small and mid-level business owners.
What do I do if the plugin will not install onto my website?
You can contact us via our website and one of our engineers will help you set up our plugin free of charge.
You can see results in as little as one day. However, our plugin does not guarantee your website will get to the top of Google; instead, it helps you create an ideal on-site optimization. Besides on-site optimization, there is also off-site optimization that has the same effect on your position on search engines. Our solution is the SEO Checklist feature found on our plugin, which will help you properly handle link building, SSM, and so on, to stay ahead of your competition.
I don't know anything about SEO, will your plugin help me?
Yes, of course. We continuously work on detailed instructions, adding new points to the SEO Checklist, and we update you on the changes on Google so you can always be in the know in the world of SEO. Our step-by-step configuration wizard will guide you through the initial setup and give you tips on adequately configuring your website.
Amazing plugin! Great step-by-step wizard for people who have no idea about SEO.
Got a little bit confused when installed it for the first time. But then spent some time reading manual and was surprised how cool this plugin is. Lots of free modules and addons. Just keep developing it and it will be number 1 for sure!
"Real Time SEO" is open source software. The following people have contributed to this plugin.
