Is the nanny sharing platform helping families save money on childcare costs your Startups Awards People's Champion?
Returning to work after maternity leave, Rachell Carrell – who recently featured in our Inspiring Women series – saw that the UK's childcare sector was falling well short of what modern families should expect. In Carrell's view, the industry was filled with "eye-watering childcare costs", patchy quality and an inadequate infrastructure.
Motivated to quit her job and start childcare service that would be "the world's best", Koru Kids was created.
Koru Kids is a network of nannies that matches up two local families with one nanny who looks after their children together to help them save on costs. The start-up believes that this model can help families save up to a third on childcare costs – which cost an average of £37,000 in central London – and help nannies get paid 25% more, whilst children get to make new friends. A win-win for all parties.
In return for an ongoing commission, the platform takes care of all the adminstration including contracts, payments, taxes, and pensions.
Launched just nine months ago to coincide with a £650,000 seed investment raise, Koru Kids has already amassed a 3,000-strong network of families in London, with revenues growing 20% month-on-month.
Engaged in an extensive programme of training and recruiting hundreds of university student nannies – with the ambition of serving 10,000 families in 12 months' time – Koru Kids will soon launch emergency and holiday care and has plans underway to roll out to other British cities.
International growth is also in the pipeline with San Francisco and New York key markets for Koru Kids.
Carrell was previously responsible for overseeing the growth of online healthcare service DrThom.com to serve 1.3 million people across three countries as CEO. With Koru Kids already growing fast since launch in January, it won't be long until Carrell replicates that success with her current venture and gets on track to fulfilling her ambition of building the "world's best childcare service".
Mother of a three-year-old and with another on the way, Carrell is an inspiring entrepreneur and role model for budding female entrepreneurs and women in business.

Revelația lui Ioan Teologul a fost editată mai întâi de către Birch în 1804, pe baza unui manuscris aflat la Vatican, după o prealabilă colaționare a acestuia cu un manuscris vienez.

Manuscrisul
Pentru propria sa ediție, Tischendorf a colaționat alte cinci manuscrise, două aflate la Paris și trei la Viena, toate fiind redactate între secolele XIV - XVI. În scolia la Gramatica lui Dionisie Tracul (un document datând din secolul al IX lea), imediat după paragraful în care se arată că paternitatea "Apocalipsei lui Pavel" ar trebui atribuită lui Pavel din Samosata, întâlnim următoarea formulare: "Și mai există încă o [scriere] numită Revelația lui Ioan Teologul. Noi nu ne referim la [scrierea] aceea din insula Patmos, Doamne ferește, căci aceea este cât se poate de adevărată, ci la una plăsmuită și neadevărată". Aceasta este cea mai veche referință la apocalipsa noastră. Asseman susține că ar fi găsit acest text în trei manuscrise arabe.

Though there are web sites for you make purchase of rose gardening product like rose gardening book, still this article can help for you to be more knowledgeable in rose gardening.
It has been thought that rose-gardening is one of the most difficult to manage. If you are planning to develop your own rose garden, go ahead! You don't need to be hindered by this misconception. You just need effective rose-gardening tips that are really useful. If you are able to get some, like rose gardening book, you can say that rose gardening is one of the most relaxing, productive hobbies.
When you start rose gardening, first thing that you need to do is to establish what type or variety of rose you want to grow. With that, you can have several options- the pre-packaged; bare-toot; and the container-grown roses. The ones that are sold during winter and early spring are the bare-root; pre-packaged are those bare-root sold in a box with something around their roots to maintain their moisture; and obviously, container-grown roses are those in container.
You can look for web site to purchase rose-gardening product like guide for fertilizer, the tools needed, and even the roses themselves. Remember that rose gardening tips are necessary especially for beginners.
Actually, there are no great variations on planting rose when compared to other plants.

Watch: Police Mistake Wyclef Jean For Armed Robbery Suspect In L.A.
Luckily, things didn't get too out of hand.

Wyclef Jean is speaking out about the LAPD mistaking him for a West Hollywood armed robbery suspect. He was cuffed for six minutes after his "vehicle matched the description used in an armed robbery right around the same time, in the same neighborhood," TMZ reports. Apparently, the singer was also wearing a red bandana, which matched the suspect description.
Allegedly, Wyclef was pulled over at around 1:30 A.M., along with two female passengers. "As for how he ended up in handcuffs — we're told one of the women got out of the vehicle abruptly, and while talking to deputies … Wyclef reached toward his waistband. Deputies put on the cuffs for about soix minutes while they sorted this out. One of Wyclef's passengers shot video of him blasting LAPD (it was really the Sheriff's Dept.) for detaining him. We're told 'Clef and his passengers were released once deputies realized there were no women with the real suspect. As it turns out, that suspect was apprehended around the same time."
Watch Wyclef respond to the madness in the video below. Luckily, things didn't get too out of hand.

I feel like I should mention that alcohol withdrawal can be very dangerous and is one of the only substances the withdrawal from which can be fatal. If you are having any signs of delirium tremens like shaking, hallucinations, feeling like you might pass out or seizure you should go to the ER. If you experience shaking in the morning or need a drink in the morning to feel ok you and are thinking of quitting alcohol you should probably do a medical detox to be safe.
I've played Trent's alcoholism for laughs but for everyone suffering from addiction, I feel you and hope for the best for you. You're stronger than you think.

Q: Intercepting link clicks in Famo.us Say there's a surface declared using Famo.us containing markup content:
this.mySurface = new Surface({
    size : this.options.targetSize,
    content : 'This is a link',
});

Is there an (easy) way to intercept the click event?
Bonus: In addition to intercepting the click, how to pass the click event through so that the default handler also does its job?

A: You can't open a new link directly in a surface but you could add something like an IFrameSurface:  Famo.us IframeSurface
As aintnorest implied, you most likely want to add an event handler to the click of the surface:
this.mySurface.on('click', function(e) {
    // Bonus: on click do the standard redirect on main window
    // or redirect of iFrame control
    window.location = "http://famo.us";
});

and then instead of an href in the content you just need the text 'This is a link' as the handler provides the typically expected logic but via an intercept.
If you need to leave them as 'links' for some reason you can try adding a hash to the href to avoid actually navigating via the default behavior.
As an alternative, because we're working in javascript anyways, you can try something like:
use javascript to intercept all document link clicks

A: There are a few ways to handle event stopping. Here is a solution I think will work best in your case.  Of course, loading pages or links this way has its own caveats that we will not go too deep into here.
Here is the full code: Example on jsFiddle
First we track the clicks within our target surface and call the function to check if it is a link.  If we clicked on a link we will emit an event passing the target href.
this.mySurface.clickNullifier = function (e) {
    if (e.target && e.target.nodeName == 'A' && e.target.href) {
        this.mySurface.emit('href-clicked', { data: { href: e.target.href } })
        return false;
    }
}.bind(this);

this.mySurface.on('deploy', function () {
    // sets up the click function on the surface DOM object
    this._currentTarget.onclick = this.clickNullifier;
});

Now that the surface clicks are tracked we will capture any intercepted clicks and load them into an iFrame or if local links load them in using the loadURL utility in famous.
this.mySurface.on('href-clicked', function (event) {
    console.log(event.data);
    // handle your code for the iframe
    // not always doable in the case of 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'
    loadIframe.call(this, event.data.href);

    // or loadURL like here. Needs CORS open on the href server if cross origin
    //Utility.loadURL(event.data.href, loadLink.bind(this));
}.bind(this));

function loadIframe(content) {
    this.backSurface.setContent('');
};

Bonus: In the example link above, you will see that the click event still fires on the surface. You can see by watching the console log.

Making Sense of the American Civil War is a scholar-led reading and discussion program for public audiences, presented by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association's Public Programs Office.
Organizations in 36 states and the District of Columbia have agreed to administer a statewide reading and discussion program for libraries or other programming sites in their states. In South Carolina, the administering organization is The Humanities CouncilSC.
Beginning January 2012, The Humanities CouncilSC will make this program available to libraries and non-profit organizations around the state. At least four programs will take place in South Carolina during 2012, with additional programs to be offered in subsequent years. To reserve this exciting new series, interested libraries and organizations must contact our office at (803) 771-2477 prior to completing the application form.
Each site will host a series of reading and discussion sessions over a four- to five-week period. Sessions will take place every two to four weeks, depending on program site preferences, and feature group discussion led by a qualified humanities scholar (a different scholar for each discussion). At each session, the conversation will focus on a different facet of the Civil War experience, using one or more common texts as a foundation and touchstone.
SC Humanitieshas identified a humanities scholar with expertise in the Civil War to serve as the statewide project scholar for the first year of this program. The state project scholar will serve in an advisory role, offering advice and consult to applicants, host sites and potential applicants. In addition, the state project scholar will lead and facilitate the opening session/discussion at each of the four host sites. Host sites are responsible for scheduling all scholar-led discussions (4-5), including the opening session, and will work with the state project scholar directly to schedule the opening session/discussion. The Humanities Councilsc is pleased to name Dr. T. Lloyd Benson, Walter Kenneth Mattison Professor of History at Furman University, as the state project scholar for this program. Applicants may contact Dr. Benson by phone: (864) 294-3492 or by email: lloyd.benson@furman.edu. Dr. Benson has prepared a bibliography of selected readings related to South Carolina and the Civil War.
The reading list includes works of historical fiction and interpretation, speeches, diaries, memoirs, biographies, and short stories. Readings also include an introductory essay, which provides context for the entire Making Sense of the American Civil War series and for each of the five sessions. The essay was written by the national project scholar: Edward L. Ayers, President of the University of Richmond, historian of the American South, and digital history pioneer. Professor Ayers also selected the reading materials and topics of conversation for the program.
Making Sense of the American Civil War is designed as a series of five conversations exploring different facets of the Civil War experience, informed by reading the words written or uttered by powerful voices from the past and present.
The series focuses on three books: March by Geraldine Brooks, Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam by James McPherson, and America's War: Talking About the Civil War and Emancipation on Their 150th Anniversaries, edited by Edward L. Ayers. A complete list of readings for the five-part series appears below.

Die Vilniusser Kathedrale St. Stanislaus und St. Ladislaus (litauisch Vilniaus Šv. vyskupo Stanislovo ir Šv. Vladislovo arkikatedra bazilika, kurz "arkikatedra" oder Vilniaus katedra) ist die römisch-katholische Kathedrale des Erzbistums Vilnius, der Hauptstadt Litauens. Seit 1985 ist sie in den Rang einer Basilica minor erhoben. Sie ist die Pfarrkirche und die Hauptkirche im 1. Dekanat Vilnius des Erzbistums Vilnius.

Die Kirche liegt am Fuße des Burghügels der Oberen Burg am Kathedralenplatz in der Altstadt von Vilnius und damit auf historischem Boden. Hier befand sich seit frühesten Zeiten eine Siedlungsstätte und so ist die Kirche aufs Engste mit der litauischen Geschichte verknüpft. Hier fanden Krönungen litauischer Großfürsten statt, hier wurden viele litauische Würdenträger begraben.

Die Basilika geht in ihrer heutigen Gestalt auf einen Entwurf im klassizistischen Stil von Laurynas Gucevičius zurück und wurde 1801 fertiggestellt. Ihr Glockenturm steht wie bei vielen Kirchen im Baltikum separat.

Gewidmet ist die Kirche dem heiligen Bischof Stanislaus von Krakau und dem heiligen Ladislaus I., König von Ungarn, zwei wichtigen Stützern der Katholischen Kirche im östlichen Mitteleuropa des 11. Jahrhunderts.

Geschichte
Die Kathedrale in Vilnius kann als erste Kirche auf litauischem Boden angesehen werden. Ein erster Bau wurde wohl bereits zu Zeiten König Mindaugas im 13. Jahrhundert errichtet. Mindaugas war 1251 aus politischen Gründen zum Christentum übergetreten und ließ aus diesem Anlass an Stelle einer heidnischen Kultstätte eine kleine gotische dreischiffige Kirche auf quadratischem Grundriss mit einem Chor errichten. Ihre Überreste wurden Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts unter der heutigen Kirche gefunden. Nach Mindaugas' Tod im Jahre 1263 übernahmen wieder heidnische Priester das Sagen, und unter dem Burgberg dürfte wieder ein heidnischer Tempel gestanden haben. Die tatsächliche Christianisierung Litauens erfolgte erst im ausgehenden 14. Jahrhundert, als sich Großfürst Jogaila taufen ließ, um die polnische Königskrone zu erhalten. Um die Ernsthaftigkeit seiner Taufe zu unterstreichen, ließ Jogaila 1387 erneut eine Kirche erbauen. Bereits im Folgejahr weihte Erzbischof Bodzanta aus Gnesen anlässlich der Ernennung Jogailas zum König von Polen die neue Kirche als Sitz des Bischofs von Vilnius. Gleichzeitig mit dem Bau der Kathedrale errichtete man eine Schule, die den theologischen Nachwuchs ausbilden sollte. Sie war damit die erste Schule in Litauen und bis zur Gründung des Jesuiten-Kollegs 1570 die wichtigste.

Jogailas Kirche brannte 1419 ab und Jogailas Vetter, Großfürst Vytautas, ließ eine neue gotische Hallenkirche errichten. Ihre Mauern bestimmen bis heute den Kirchenbau im Inneren. Im Verlauf des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts wurden zu beiden Seiten Kapellen angebaut. Brände im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert führten zum Umbau im jeweils aktuellen Baustil, Renaissance (1534–1557) und Barock (1612–1632). Zur gleichen Zeit wurde die bedeutende Kasimir-Kapelle errichtet (1624–1636; s. u.). Der Krieg mit Moskau 1654–1657 hinterließ schwere Schäden an der Kathedrale, so dass 1666–1676 umfangreiche Innenarbeiten durchgeführt wurden. Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts erfolgte die Ausschmückung der Kasimir-Kapelle. 1769 stürzte durch Blitzschlag einer der beiden Kirchtürme ein, die beim barocken Umbau am Portal errichtet worden waren, und die Kirche musste geschlossen werden.

Das heutige klassizistische Aussehen geht auf das Projekt des litauischen Architekten Stuoka-Gucevičius zurück, das ab 1783 realisiert wurde. Nach 15 Jahren Bauzeit wurden die Arbeiten 1801 unter der Leitung des Architekten Michael Schulz abgeschlossen (Stuoka-Gucevičius war 1798 verstorben). Noch vor Abschluss der Arbeiten war allerdings das Bistum Vilnius nach der Eingliederung Litauens in das Russische Kaiserreich 1795–1798 aufgehoben und danach dem Erzbistum Mogiljow unterstellt worden. Bischöfe wurden an ihrer Amtsausübung gehindert und mit der Schließung der Universität verlor das Bistum sein Ausbildungszentrum. Als die Kasimir-Kirche nach dem polnisch-litauischen Aufstand 1831 in ein orthodoxes Gotteshaus umgewandelt wurde, kamen die Rokoko-Plastiken mit den Figuren litauischer Großfürsten, Heiliger und Apostel in die Nischen der Außenwände der Kathedrale.

Im Ersten Weltkrieg von den Deutschen geplündert, war die Kathedrale nach dem Krieg zwischen der polnischen und der litauischen Gemeinde umstritten. Mit der endgültigen Zuerkennung des Vilniusser Gebiets zu Polen gab es ab 1923 nur mehr polnisch sprachige Gottesdienste. 1925 wurde die Kathedrale Sitz des neuen Erzbistums Vilnius, während die bei Litauen verbliebenen westlichen Gebiete des ehemaligen Bistums Vilnius das neue Bistum Kaišiadorys bildeten. Nachdem 1931 Risse in den Wänden entdeckt worden waren, erfolgten 1932–1939 umfangreiche Renovierungsarbeiten, bei denen auch eine neue Krypta unter der Kasimir-Kapelle angelegt wurde.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Kathedrale von den sowjetischen Behörden 1949 geschlossen. Nach knapp drei Jahren Leerstand, während dessen mehrmals eingebrochen und Kunstgegenstände geraubt wurden, wurde 1953 mit dem Umbau in eine Kunstgalerie begonnen, die 1956 eröffnet wurde. Der Sarg des heiligen Kasimir war bereits 1953 in die Peter-und-Paul-Kirche überführt worden.

1989 wurde die Kathedrale wieder an die katholische Kirche zurückgegeben und mit einem Gottesdienst am 5. Februar 1989 wieder geweiht. Am 3. März 1989, einem Tag vor seinem Namenstag, wurde der Sarg Kasimirs in einer feierlichen Prozession wieder aus der Peter-und-Paul-Kirche in die Kasimir-Kapelle gebracht.

Architektur

Die heutige Kirche wird in ihrem äußeren Erscheinungsbild durch den klassizistischen Entwurf Stuoka-Gucevičius' geprägt, geht im Inneren jedoch auf die gotische dreischiffige Hallenkirche des 15. Jahrhunderts zurück.
Stuoka-Gucevičius versah das Äußere mit einem streng antiken Aussehen: gemäß der Dorischen Ordnung tragen mächtige glatte Säulen einen Triglyphen-Fries und das Portal schließt ein mächtiges Giebeldreieck ab. Das Relief im Giebeldreieck zeigt Noahs Dankopfer nach der Errettung vor der Sintflut. Die drei Plastiken auf dem Giebel wurden 1786–1792 vom Bildhauer Karol Jelski geschaffen und zeigen den heiligen Stanislaus (Schutzheiliger Polens; links), den heiligen Kasimir (Schutzheiliger Litauens; rechts) und die heilige Helena (Mitte). Sie wurden von den sowjetischen Machthabern 1950 zerstört. Nach langen Diskussionen wurde ihre Wiederaufstellung beschlossen, und seit 1997 stehen wieder Kopien auf dem Giebel.
An der linken Gebäudeseite wurde auf der Höhe des Chors eine der Kasimirkapelle baulich identische Sakristei angebaut, um der Kirche die im klassizistischen Entwurf angestrebte Symmetrie zu verleihen. Dabei wurde die Kasimir-Kapelle unverändert gelassen, so dass auch die Sakristei ein barockes Äußeres zeigt. Außerdem wurden die Grabkapellen aus dem 16. und 17. Jahrhundert mit einer einheitlichen Außenwand versehen, die Fenster nach unten hin vergrößert und um eine vorgestellte dorische Säulenreihe erweitert.

Innenräume

Die klassizistische Prägung wird auch im Kircheninneren durchgezogen. Die auf die gotische dreischiffige Hallenkirche aus dem 15. Jahrhundert zurückgehenden Pfeiler wurden ebenso wie die Gewölbe mit klassischen Elementen versehen. Der Hauptaltar gleicht mit seinem von schwarz-grün gesprenkelten Marmorsäulen getragenen Fries und darüberliegendem Giebeldreieck der Dorischen Ordnung des Außenbaus. Das Bild in der Mitte über dem Altar stammt von Franciszek Smuglewicz (1797) und zeigt den Märtyrertod des heiligen Stanislaus. Auf dem Altar aus dem 18. Jahrhundert steht das Tabernakel, eine äußerst wertvolle Arbeit aus der Werkstatt des Augsburger Goldschmieds Matthias Walbaum von 1623/25. Die Reliefs auf den Türen zeigen Das Letzte Abendmahl und die Predigt im Ölgarten. Das Kruzifix auf dem Altar wird von den Figuren des heiligen Stanislaus und des heiligen Kasimir eingerahmt. Rechts des Hauptaltars wurde im frühen 16. Jahrhundert die so genannte "Bischofs-Kapelle" angebaut. Ihr Name rührt von der Tatsache, dass unter ihrem Boden im weiteren Verlauf die Vilniusser Bischöfe bestattet wurden. Über dem Tabernakel, in dem heute das Allerheiligste aufbewahrt wird (daher heißt die Kapelle heute offiziell Kapelle des Allerheiligsten), hängt ein Bild von Gonzaga Nunez (1877), das ### darstellt.

An den Wänden der Seitenschiffe hängen beiderseits 16 Gemälde aus der Hand von Constantino Villani aus der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts, die Szenen aus dem Neuen Testament (Nordseite) Szenen aus dem Alten Testament (Südseite) gegenüberstellen. Die Gemälde an der Altarseite (Speisung der 5.000 und Das Opfer des Melchisedech; 1785) sowie das Bild Petrus tauft den Soldaten im Gefängnis (1801) stammen von Franciszek Smuglewicz, ebenso wie die Apostel-Darstellungen zwischen den Pfeilern im Mittelschiff (1785).

Glockenturm

Der frei stehende Glockenturm war ursprünglich ein runder Verteidigungsturm der Unteren Burg aus der zweiten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts. Die Schussluken an der Außenseite sind bis heute sichtbar. Seine Fundamente stehen mittlerweile 1,2 Meter tief im Erdboden. Es wird angenommen, dass er bereits im 15. Jahrhundert als Glockenturm diente und um ein achteckiges Geschoss im gotischen Stil erhöht wurde. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurde er um zwei weitere Geschosse erhöht (~1550 und 1598). Nach dem Brand von 1610 musste auch der beschädigte Glockenturm wiederhergestellt werden. Die Uhren stammen aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, die Haube von 1897. Aufgrund seines Alters und des weichen Untergrunds steht der Turm mittlerweile leicht schief. Heute hat er eine Höhe von 52 m (57 m mit Kreuz).

Krönungs- und Grabstätte

In der Kathedrale erfolgten seit Vytautas (1401) bis zu Zeiten Sigismund II. August (1529) die Krönungen der litauischen Großfürsten. Ebenso wurden hier die Leichname bedeutender litauischer Staatsmänner und Adliger, ihrer Gemahlinnen, sowie kirchlicher Würdenträger beigesetzt. Es wird vermutet, dass auch die heimliche Heirat Sigismund II. August mit Barbara Radziwiłł 1547 in der Kathedrale stattgefunden hat. Die erste Grabkapelle stiftete sich der erste Bischof von Vilnius, Andrej Vasila, im Jahr 1397. Bei Grabungen wurde 1985 eine Krypta frei gelegt, die als einzige mit Wandmalereien ausgestattet war. Sie könnte die Grabstätte Vytautas' gewesen sein. Das erhaltene Fragment zeigt Jesus am Kreuz, mit Maria und Johannes zu seiner Seite, und ist das älteste überlieferte Zeugnis der Wandmalerei in Litauen.

Über die folgenden Jahrhunderte hinweg wurden immer neue Kapellen an die Kathedrale angebaut bzw. später umgebaut. Stuoka-Gucevičius bemühte sich, in seinem auf Symmetrie angelegten Entwurf, die Kapellen in eine Ordnung zu bringen. Seitdem gibt es in der Kathedrale 11 Kapellen, darunter als älteste die Valavičius- (erste Kapelle auf der linken Seite), deren Mauern aus der Renaissancezeit überdauert haben, und die berühmte Kasimir-Kapelle (s. u.).
Bei Grabungen unter der Kirche fand man 1931 Gräber und legte 1932 bis 1939 unter der Kasimir-Kapelle eine neue Gruft an, in der folgende Personen beigesetzt sind:
 Alexander der Jagiellone (1461–1506), König von Polen und Großfürst von Litauen
 Elisabeth von Österreich (1526–1545) und Barbara Radziwiłł (1520–1551), die ersten beiden Frauen Sigismund II. August, König von Polen und Großfürst von Litauen
 sowie in einer Urne das Herz von Władysław IV. Wasa (1595–1648), König von Polen und Großfürst von Litauen

Des Weiteren ist die Kathedrale Grabstätte von (unter anderen):
 Vytautas (1350–1430), genannt der Große, Großfürst von Litauen, und seiner zweiten Ehefrau Anna Swjatoslawna
 Žygimantas Kęstutaitis (~1365–1440), Bruder Vytautas' und Großfürst von Litauen (1432 bis 1440)
 Švitrigaila (~1370–1452), Bruder Jogailas und Großfürst von Litauen (1430 bis 1432)
 Kasimir (1458–1484), Sohn Kasimir IV. Jagiełło, König von Polen
 Sigismund der Alte (1467–1548), König von Polen und Großfürst von Litauen
 Albrecht Goštautas (1480–1539), Kanzler Litauens (1522 bis 1539)
 Bischof Valerijonas Protasevičius (?–1580), Bischof von Vilnius
 Sigismund III. Wasa (1566–1632), König von Polen und Großfürst von Litauen

Kasimir-Kapelle

Die Kasimir-Kapelle wurde in den Jahren 1624 bis 1636 auf Initiative der polnischen Könige Sigismund III. Wasa und seines Sohnes Władysław IV. Wasa gebaut. Zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts hatte die Verehrung des heiligen Kasimir neue Höhen erreicht. Kasimir war bereits 1521, weniger als 40 Jahre nach seinem Tod, heiliggesprochen worden und schon 1501 hatte Papst Alexander VI. den Besuch seiner Grabstätte in der Kathedrale mit dem Erlass aller Sünden verbunden (lit.). 1603 wurde dann anlässlich der Bestätigung seiner Heiligsprechung sein Sarg geöffnet und sein unversehrter Leichnam vorgefunden, was die Anziehungskraft noch steigerte. Kasimir war in der Bevölkerung beliebt als Verkörperung des selbstlosen, gerechten und genügsamen Herrschers. Entsprechend wird dies in der Ausschmückung der Kapelle zur Geltung gebracht.

Die Kapelle steht auf quadratischem Grundriss und wird von einer achteckigen an ihrer Spitze vergoldeten Kuppel gekrönt. Sie wurde aus wertvollem Sandstein aus Schweden errichtet und mit rotem und schwarzem Marmor ausgekleidet. Sie ist in ihrem Inneren auf Arbeiten in der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts zurückzuführen, die nach den Verwüstungen durch die russische Besatzung der Stadt 1655 bis 1660 durchgeführt wurden. In ihrer Verbindung von wertvollen Marmorwänden, Fresken und halbplastischen Stuckverzierungen weist sie starke Parallelen zur Klosterkirche in Pažaislis und zur Peter-und-Paul-Kirche in Vilnius auf, die Künstler waren die gleichen. Die Fresken malte Michelangelo Palloni (1691–1692), die die Malereien einfassenden Stuckarbeiten stammen von Pietro Perti.

Die Fresken zeigen das "Wunder am Sarg des heiligen Kasimir" (rechte Seite) und die "Öffnung des Sargs des heiligen Kasimir" (linke Seite). Die Deckengemälde zeigen über dem Altar Kasimir, der von einem Engel Kreuz und Lilie erhält und die Lobeshymne Omni die dic Mariae singt, sowie über dem Eingang Kasimirs Kampf mit der Versuchung und seinen Sieg über die Versuchung. Letztere beide Gemälde stammen aus der Hand Franciszek Smuglewicz' (1797).

Der Leichnam Kasimirs ist in einem aufwändig gearbeiteten silbernen Sarg aufbewahrt, der bis 1747 fertiggestellt wurde. Die auf ihm thronende Figur des heiligen Kasimir stammt vom früheren Sarg. Der Sarg steht über dem Altar der Kapelle, den ein mit Silber ausgeschlagenes Bild des Heiligen ziert, das von der Bemalung nur mehr drei Hände frei gibt. Das Gemälde geht etwa auf 1520 zurück und wurde 1594 erneuert. Eventuell wurde damals versucht, die Stellung der rechten Hand, in der Kasimir Lilien (Symbol der Keuschheit und Attribut Marias) hält, zu verändern. Diese Übermalung jedoch zeigte sich wieder und wurde kurzerhand zum Wunder erklärt. Die Silberbeschlagung wird zeitlich mit der Aufbahrung des heiligen Kasimir in der fertiggestellten Kapelle in Verbindung gebracht (1636).

In den Nischen stehen die versilberten Figuren unbekannter Herrscher. Sie stammen wohl aus der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts und werden erstmals 1755 erwähnt. Ihre Herkunft ist unbekannt.

Valavičius-Kapelle

Die erste Kapelle links (nördlich) vom Eingang ist die Valavičius-Kapelle, auch Bischofskapelle genannt. In ihr waren bis 1604 die sterblichen Überreste des heiligen Kasimir aufbewahrt worden, sie hieß damals Königliche Kapelle. Bischof Valavičius ließ die Kapelle als seine Grabstätte herrichten. Die Stuckarbeiten zeigen unter anderem die vier Evangelisten, die vier Fresken an der Decke die vier wichtigsten Stationen aus dem Leben Marias: Verkündigung, Heimsuchung, Himmelfahrt und Krönung. Die Grabplatte des Bischofs (1572–1630) befindet sich an der rechten Seitenwand.

Orgel

Die erste Orgel wurde 1780 von dem Orgelbauer Nicolaus Jentzen erbaut. 1783 und 1858 wurde der Prospekt dieses Instruments erweitert; 1885 wurde die Orgel durch Jozef Rodowicz umgebaut. Das heutige Instrument wurde 1969 von Alexander Schuke (Potsdam) in dem Gehäuse von 1858 erbaut.

South Sudan's child soldiers hope for life after war
During nearly five years of civil war in South Sudan, an estimated 19,000 children have joined the ranks of the army, rebel forces or local militias, UNICEF says.

By the time Baba John escaped the tribal militia he had joined as an 11-year-old, he had long stopped counting the number of people he had killed.
A murderous time for Baba John began with a life-or-death decision when a South Sudanese armed group, known as the Cobra Faction, attacked his village close to the eastern town of Pibor, nearly 400 kilometers north of the capital Juba.
Baba John survived that attack but, fearing he would not be so lucky the next time he decided, like many others have done, to join the militia.
During nearly five years of civil war in South Sudan an estimated 19,000 children under the age of 18 have joined the ranks of the army, rebel forces or various local militias, UNICEF says.
Today, despite the ongoing conflict and difficult living conditions, Baba John is hopeful.


The Laravel framework and Pusher are a great combination. Laravel helps you build elegant applications and at warp speed; Pusher helps you add real-time features to those apps in a fraction of the time it would take to build using your own infrastructure. In fact, Pusher has emerged as one of the Laravel community's preferred tools to make apps realtime, thanks to the support of Taylor Otwell, Jeffrey Way, Matt Stauffer, and many more.
We recently wrote a set of tutorials covering How to Build Real-Time Laravel Apps with Pusher as part of a Workshop for Laracon EU. We've now opened up these tutorials for everybody and anybody to work through. The source has been opened up under the Commons Attribution 4.0 International License so you're free to fork and adapt to suit your needs or even to run your own workshop.
Who are the tutorials for?
The tutorials cover the fundamentals of adding real-time features to a Laravel application using Pusher. It's a useful resource for junior developers getting up to speed with Pusher, or as a reference to advanced developers who want to know what Pusher can help them achieve, and how.
How do I use the tutorials?
If you take a look at the Build Real-Time Laravel Apps with Pusher Workshop you'll see it's set out as a book – a GitBook in fact – consisting of background information and a number of tutorials. Although it started off as an instructor-lead workshop, it's actually been written in a way that you can go through on your own or as part of an internal training session.
Of course, we'd love to run the workshop again at future events. So, if you'd like somebody from Pusher to be at your event to deliver the workshop please get in touch.
What does the GitBook cover?
It also gives you an overview of the additional features that Pusher offers. Hopefully we'll be able to create tutorials for these over time.
We've been amazed by the input, feedback and adoption we've had from Laravel artisans. It's great to be a tiny part of such a community.
So, hopefully the Build Real-Time Laravel Apps with Pusher tutorials will be a useful resource for those looking to add new features to apps or getting new team members up to speed.
But we don't want it to end there.
Part of opening up this workshop as a GitBook of tutorials is the hope that others will contribute to the resource, share it with others, fork it and extend it. That's why we've opened it up under Creative Commons; so anybody and everybody can take the resource and run with it.

Pollution and Microbiology: This is an introduction to sevage pollution and microbiology for students of science, medicine, and environmental science which is designed to hold the reader's attention and to stimulate his interest.
Essential Microbiology: Essential Microbiology is a comprehensive introductory text aimed at students taking a first course in the subject. Covering all aspects of microbiology, it describes the structure and function of microbes before considering their place in the the living world. The second half of the book focuses on applied aspects such as genetic engineering, industrial microbiology and the control of microorganisms.Adopting a modern approach and with extensive use of clear comprehensive diagrams, Essential Microbiology explains key topics through the use of definition boxes and end of chapter questions.This book is invaluable for undergraduate students in the biological, food and health sciences taking a first course in Microbiology.comprehensive introduction covering all aspects of this exciting subject.includes numerous examples and applications from a wide range of fields.definition boxes, key points and self-test questions enhance student understanding.
Introductory Microbiology Bismarck State College: This course will include the study of cell structure and physiology of microorganisms, methods of microbial control, specific and nonspecific host defenses, epidemiology, pathogenic microorganisms and the microbiology of food and water. Microorganisms studied will include bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa.
Soil Microbiology and Sustainable Crop Production: Soils into which crop plants root and from which they obtain essential minerals and water contain huge arrays of microbes. Many have highly beneficial effects on crop growth and productivity, others are pathogens causing diseases and losses to yield and quality, a few microbes offer protection from these pathogenic forms and others have little or no effect. These intimate and often complex inter-relationships are being explored with increasing success providing exciting opportunities for increasing crop yields and quality in sustainable harmony with the populations of beneficial soil microbes and to the detriment of pathogens. This book explores current knowledge for each of these aspects of soil microbiology and indicates where future progress is most likely to aid in increasing crop productivity by means which are environmentally benign and beneficial.
Advances in Applied Microbiology: widely read and authoritative review sources in microbiology.
Principles of Microbiology: Principles of Microbiology continues in the tradition of the market leading Prescott, Harley, and Klein�s Microbiology. In using the 7th edition of PHK�s Microbiology as the foundation for the development of Principles, the authors have presented a streamlined, briefer discussion of the broad discipline of microbiology and have focused on readability and the integration of several key themes with an emphasis on evolution, ecology and diversity throughout the text. To accomplish this, each chapter focuses on key concepts and includes only the most relevant, up-to-date examples.
Unique to Principles is the inclusion of microbial pathogens into the diversity chapters (chapters 19-24). Thus when students read about the metabolic and genetic diversity of each bacterial, protist, and viral taxon, they are also presented with the important pathogens. In this way, the physiological adaptations that make a given organism successful can be immediately related to its role as a pathogen and pathogens can be readily compared to phylogenetically similar microbes.
Principles of Microbiology: Prescotts Principles of Microbiology continues in the tradition of the market leading Prescott, Harley, and Kleins Microbiology. In using the 7th edition of PHKs Microbiology as the foundation for the development of Principles, the authors have presented a streamlined, briefer discussion of the broad discipline of microbiology and have focused on readability and the integration of several key themes with an emphasis on evolution, ecology and diversity throughout the text. To accomplish this, each chapter focuses on key concepts and includes only the most relevant, up-to-date examples.
Microbiology: The brand new author team of Prescott, Harley and Klein's Microbiology continues the tradition of past editions by providing a balanced, comprehensive introduction to all major areas of microbiology. Because of this balance, the Seventh Edition of Microbiology is appropriate for microbiology majors and mixed majors courses. The new authors have focused on readability, artwork, and the integration of several key themes (including evolution, ecology and diversity) throughout the text, making an already superior text even better.
Fundamentals of Microbiology: The Ninth Edition of this classic text provides a firm foundation in microbiology with an emphasis on human disease. It is written for students in nursing and allied health programs and is appropriate for non-majors microbiology courses. With all of the pedagogical elements and student-friendly ancillaries that Dr. Pommerville is known for, this latest edition provides numerous new updates and additions, including the latest disease data and statistics, added material on emerging disease outbreaks, and expanded use of concept maps and much more.


disturbance - Crow #1 (6:56 - 6:56) (flee bluff or beach) A crow flew close to burrow 2. One ledge-sitting PIGU entered the burrow, and the other one (also previously ledge-sitting) flew towards the water.
disturbance - Crow #2 (7:19 - 7:19) (flee bluff or beach) A crow again flew close to burrow 2. Both PIGUs (one was ledge-sitting and one was in the burrow) flew away.
At 7:35, a PIGU flew up to the bluff just below burrows 1 and 5 and scraped the side then flew back to the water.
2 PIGUs flew out of either burrow 1 or burrow 5, at times of 8:57 and 8:59. One may have been a PIGU that entered at either 7:10 or 7:13 because I only saw one of those leave previously.


I was intending to be ironic, yes. "Fallen" bats and dolphins, and suchlike nonsense.
I read the remarks by Michael Bryson and John Leonard as ironic and thus not intended at the expense of gay men and women.

[[Imagen:Hypsipyle sauve Thoas BnF Français 599 fol. 16.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Miniatura de Robinet Testard para una edición del siglo XV de la obra de Giovanni Boccaccio De claris mulieribus: Hipsípila salva a Toante.]]
En la mitología griega, Hipsípila' (Ὑψιπύλη / Hupsipúlê) era la reina de Lemnos.

Durante su reinado, Afrodita maldijo a las mujeres de la isla por descuidar sus santuarios, por lo que éstas desarrollaron un caso extremo de halitosis que repugnaba a los hombres de la nación. Por ese motivo, los hombres comenzaron a mantener relaciones con las esclavas que habían sido capturadas durante las invasiones a Tracia. Las mujeres de Lemnos resolvieron vengarse y, una noche, mataron a todos sus parientes varones. Sólo Hipsípila perdonó a un hombre: su padre, Toante, a quien ocultó para salvarlo de la matanza.

Poco tiempo después de la matanza de varones, Jasón y los Argonautas pararon en Lemnos en su camino hacia Cólquida. Los Argonautas permanecieron en Lemnos varios meses y, en ese tiempo, mantuvieron relaciones con las mujeres de la isla. Hipsípila quedó embarazada de Jasón, quien le juró fidelidad eterna. De esta unión nacieron los mellizos Euneo y Nebrófono (otras versiones llaman al segundo mellizo Deifilo o Toante). Jasón continuó su viaje y pronto olvidó su promesa.

Las mujeres lemnias, furiosas porque había salvado a su padre, obligaron a Hipsípila a huir para conservar su vida. Ella y sus hijos fueron capturados por piratas, quienes los vendieron a Licurgo, el rey de Nemea. La esposa de este destinó a Hipsípila al cuidado de su hijo Ofeltes (también llamado Arquemoro).

Cuando los argivos marcharon contra Tebas, pasaron por Nemea y, después de encontrar a Hipsípila, esta los llevó hasta una fuente para que sacaran el agua que necesitaban. Al hacerlo, dejó al niño por un momento; fue entonces cuando una serpiente se enroscó en él y lo mordió, produciendo su muerte. Su madre trató de salvarlo, pero ya era tarde, entonces decidió matar a la serpiente y, posteriormente, sepultar a su hijo. Licurgo deseó vengarse de Hipsípila, pero el líder de los argivos, Adrasto, la protegió.

The weather these days is crisp and cool with the winter sun that comes out often to play and it's all about looking relaxed but yet going out in style.
I wanted to create a super comfortable, playful, fresh, chic look and so I decided to wear this super bright yellow top from Zara and I paired it up with these fuss-free striped pants from Topshop which was stunning, went perfectly with the look and enhanced the outfit. Additionally, I threw on this cape (which was originally a dress) from Zara. It was feminine, gave the entire look a sense of polish and sophistication and had so much detailing and for the feet I wore a pair of yellow shoes from Zara, that were hands down, perfect for this outfit.
Lastly, to accessorize a little more, I wore a pair of super fun sunnies from Sunice Glasses (you can use the code "TheGlitterCrumb" on their website and get a 25% off on any pair of sunnies that you like!!!!) I wore a yellow and gold timeless watch from Gucci and a yellow gold love bracelet from Cartier which you'll always catch me wearing.

OMG you guys! Last month, I was on Fox Business News. How did this happen? In this post, I'll share a step-by-step, replicable process you can use to get yourself on TV.
You can easily dump tens of thousands on TV ads and not see near the same exposure. The going rate to run a 30-second spot on the average network show during primetime is $110,200, at a $25 cost per 1,000 homes.
It's an opportunity to build your expertise and authority in your niche.
You never know who might be watching! A single TV appearance could lead to partnerships, new talent inquiries and more.
It's great inbound marketing and depending on the topic of the show and your appearance, can lead to qualified leads.
Your friends will think it's cool. Your mom will finally be proud of you and have something in plain English to show her friends about you.
Sounds Good. Now Get Me on TV, Larry!
No promises, but I assure you it's possible, with a bit of planning, some ingenuity and a whole lot of patience.
First, it's important to understand how TV shows – especially news broadcasts – work. They are publishers and content creators, constantly on the lookout for expert guests to add interest and authority to their coverage. They need people just like you to help them out. Producers have regular contributors for popular topics like health or politics, but they seek out experts on new or uncommon topics/events (like the Twitter IPO).
The producer at Fox isn't an associate of mine – I had never met him before. He didn't owe me any favors and I'm quite certain he wouldn't have known me from a hole in the ground before that Tuesday. So how do you get a national TV network producer to ring you up?
It starts with your online authority in your niche. The day before the Twitter IPO, I wrote a contributed article for Business Insider, entitled Hey Twitter, Your Ads Are Even Worse Than Facebook's. One of the first things a news producer is going to do when they see your name pop up in relation to a topic for which they're seeking an expert is check you out.
They may check out your LinkedIn profile, Twitter account, company website, and other web properties to see if you're a credible authority on the topic. All of this is part of your online portfolio and it's critical to make sure each result about you that comes up for them is a positive reflection of your expertise, that reinforces that you are the person they want to hear from on the topic. So Google yourself and get your search results page in order! It sure doesn't hurt to have your name come up alongside major publications; more on that in a minute.
Is it timely? Check. The Twitter IPO was taking place the next day, so we knew we were in alignment with the news cycle at major industry publications.
Is it illustrated? Check. We pulled the data together and illustrated it in table format, for easy digestion by readers. We decided not to go with an infographic this time (seems Rand and I were on the same wavelength!), though we still wanted to provide a visual asset, which news media will often pick up and print alongside their coverage.
Is it newsworthy? Check. Not only was it timely with the IPO happening, it was based on original research. On top of that, it was contrary to what everyone else was saying – do you remember them all tripping over themselves recommending Twitter stock? And there we were, with credible data showing that Twitter Ads might not be all that great an investment for marketers. Solid data + opposite conventional wisdom = definitely newsworthy.
Catchy title? Check. You have very little time to catch the attention of news media. Don't waste it with a crappy title.
Within 20 minutes of publication on Business Insider, Fox News came calling. Why? Because they were looking for an expert and I put myself out there with a point of view they were likely to find interesting.
How the Heck Do You Become a Contributor to Business Insider?
Before you skewer me and say, "Sure Larry, it's easy to get noticed… if you're already writing for Business Insider!" Please understand, it wasn't always this way. I don't mean to make this sound easy, but it is replicable, I promise.
There is that bit of a technicality, where I'm already publishing on major industry sites. So how can YOU get published on amazing, high traffic, highly reputable industry websites?
Get them to ask you.
It doesn't happen overnight, but start by blogging on your own site. My first article ever published on August 7, 2009, and was cleverly entitled, "Welcome to my blog." It was a brand new blog with zero visitors, but in the grand scheme of things, it really wasn't that long ago! We now have over half a million pageviews a month.
Since that first post, I've written hundreds, including many detailed case studies and breaking industry news stories. Along your journey, share your best stuff with reporters who cover your beat. If you share truly great information, you'll have an opportunity to work with reporters on various stories; after they've worked with you on a dozen or so good stories, they'll eventually ask you to be a contributor (or be open to accepting a guest post).
Don't pester journalists or be annoying. Be selective about who you contact with which story. Blasting them all with every piece of content you put out will irreparably damage any relationship you're trying to build.
Develop a trusted relationship with people over many months or years. Connect with them in social channels. Show interest in their articles instead of pitching your own all the time. Give them exclusive access to some information you have.
Be persistent and patient. Set a goal for yourself each week, even if it's just to write a post, at first. Then it might be to have one other industry blog cover the topic you have and mention your post. Start with smaller, local publications, then gradually raise the bar.
Display blogging excellence. The higher caliber bloggers and mainstream media won't cite or link back to a sloppy piece of writing. If you aren't (yet) a polished writer, invest in writing or editing assistance.
Basically, they need to see that you can write consistently great content, over a period of time, on a topic in which you are an expert. Once you have accomplished this, though – once you've nurtured those relationships and found your voice in the media surrounding your industry – you will find that opportunities abound across networks and platforms.
Did Your Web Traffic Go Up?
No, we didn't see a big spike in traffic. However, high profile news coverage can lead to other types of benefits.
This led to many other benefits, such as an in-person meeting at the Facebook offices, my very own Facebook T-shirt, and much more!
And of course, we got various press pick-ups and links from publications like Fox News Blog, Social News Daily, The Drum, Marketing Pilgrim, and dozens of other sites, which obviously carry SEO benefit, by way of valuable links and co-citation.
At this point, I don't blame you if you're scratching your head, wondering if this whole story of getting on Fox News was just a case of random, dumb luck. Is it actually a strategy you can replicate?
Honestly, it's both. It doesn't work all the time, but you can make your own luck. What I mean by this is that it's not random – if you execute the strategy I've outlined above (publishing unusual findings on trending topics in authority publications, etc.) you most certainly can get on TV, and that was indeed our goal from the beginning.
If you already have a business and are passionate about what it is that you do, you can absolutely replicate this process. Writing, speaking and publishing might feel unnatural at first, depending on your background, yet it's worth investing in for the benefits in your inbound marketing strategy, authority and reputation.
There are many benefits to content marketing. We most often think of content marketing as blogging, where the benefits are typically measured in terms of links, traffic, leads and sales.
However, there are many different types of content (like getting on TV or even radio) that can be even more valuable. The ROI may be all sorts of non-traffic, intangible benefits; exposure for your company; partnership opportunities; authority building, etc.
With a bit of content marketing persistence and know-how, I think you'll find it it's indeed possible to get on TV, and that it's a repeatable process with potentially great value for your business!
Wow Larry - that is truly a well thought out method of "going for the gold". Impressive it is. To be sure you put in a lot of effort and energy to make that happen. A little bit of luck? always when it comes to things like this, but hard work and tenacity is how it happened. Thanks for sharing and Congratulations.!
agreed - you make your own luck! thanks for reading janis!
Larry, first of all congrats of getting featured on FOX and thank you for sharing the complete story with us!
great summary! thanks for reading moosa!
Very inspirational story. You are now in the big time. That is pretty exciting. Thank you for detailing your path to success and what it took to get your there. You have definitely pumped out a lot of high quality content very regularly since 2009 and this is no easy task, but definitely something to strive for eventually. It is good to see the hard work pays off.
Everything that is termed "blogger outreach," "Twitter outreach," "e-mail outreach" and more is just PR by another name. It's using a communications channel effectively. And that PR is crucial -- getting by-lines in major publications, appearing on TV, and so on is vitally important to building a brand, increasing social-media followings, promoting content, and earning links.
"If I had to choose between your average link builder and an expert PR professional who knew how to approach and interact with media outlets and presented well on camera, I'd go for the public relations person any day of the week."
So, Larry, thanks for spreading the word about and giving great tips on PR!
That's awesome Larry - congrats!
Congrats on the Fox Business News appearance. I agree with your comment to Clayburn. I've received local press via Facebook twice for my other business (a dog/people fitness business). Both times the local press contacted me because of my Facebook content. Lucy definitely played a part in it, but apparently so did unique content on Facebook.
there you go - twice on local press is a trend - can't be just dumb luck - your FB content must be resonating!
The owner of a business network I'm involved in made some appearances on BBC News regarding new business start ups now he is one of the leading representatives for UK business and his network is the largest growing in the world. It does pay if you have the face or knowledge for it.
Another success story! I think bloggers should be periodically thinking about potential TV angles for their content - the audience is huge. thanks health lottery man!
Some interesting insights here. Thanks for contributing this, Larry.
There's certainly a ton of opportunity for marketers to successfully bridge their online efforts with their media efforts - especially television. As companies continue to try and bridge the gap between their online audiences and their television audiences there is certainly going to be a need for more strategies like this one so that brands can carry their messages and communities over to different platforms.
Before we know it TV PR will just become a part of online PR - another necessary element of smart content marketing strategies.
This really motivated me. When I owned a brick & mortar type business years ago, I remember spending $10,000 on television commercials in an effort to get some big time exposure. Just one 30 second spot on the 6 or 10 o'clock news on ABC cost me $300 (and this was Anchorage). Oddly enough, I might add, I do remember getting the most phone calls after Oprah.... Anyway, that being said, I can really appreciate being able to get some free airtime. I wish I would have read this post back in 2006 and I could have saved myself some money.
When I read this post, the first thing that popped into my head was "I bet he got some great natural backlinks as well." I am trying to refocus my brain to not think so much about links but rather exposure, however, the link builder in me came out on this one :) Great article!
thanks for this note. i think all of the link builders in us have to start focusing more on the "marketing" value of content marketing rather than just links!
Maybe all of us should get used with the idea that if we'll ever get on TV it doesn't mean that the traffic of our website will increase (if we promote it there), but more opportunities will appear.
Firstly, I'd like to congratulate you for the FOX your truly deserved that.
"You'll get success if you are honest with your work"
Indeed, a very good post for our industry fellows.
thanks Umar. I think that's a great takeaway.
I work in brand management, and we relay the same message to our clients. If you want recognition, it's going to take time. There's no such thing as a "get-rich-quick" scheme (actually there are, but they're scams).
True credibility is created over period of months, even years. The more content you promote about your expertise the more luck you seem to have of getting recognized by the big-brand news organizations and Web sites.
hopefully this story (a) paints a picture of what is possible if you are persistent in sharing information over a few years and (b) provides some motivation to keep at it, and (c) gives an outline of how to go about doing this kind of work.
Wow. Congrats Larry. Nicely played. You raised the content marketing bar once again. I agree that we make our own luck. Thanks for your transparency and for providing the blueprint to replicate.
First of all congrats for being on National TV.. TV is one of the biggest medium to grow popular. Nice that you shared the process and guide to be on TV. This can really help entire community.
The Entire Article sounds absolutely Impossible for SMALL BUSINESS owners and companies !
Even if it is possible and I think not in near future but takes more than 5-6 years with a continous day by day work out with visitors and content .
i think that's the key point - that it takes consistent effort over time! Definitely possible for a creative small business willing to invest the time and effort.
thanks nathan. I think your idea of answering questions (or being helpful to others) is a great way to build a following and credibility. For example, help out a fellow marketer on moz Q&A or in forums or on twitter, or publish the results of your marketing experiments in the form of a case study, etc. Then just keep at it!
YES! seriously. We had a big discussion internally here about doubling-down our content marketing efforts on other media like radio, TV, youtube, etc. The benefits are very compelling and it seems less competitive than blogging (since fewer are doing that).
Seriously though, i consider these types of big media opportunities to be the inevitable outcome of doing creative inbound marketing stuff consistently over time.

Do Wild Blueberries Live Up to the Health Hype?
Tracy Majka
Eat July 31, 2019
You may have heard about the health benefits of wild blueberries—but are they for real? Our blogger dove into the science to find out.
Confession: I love wild blueberries. I grew up on the conventional kind, which are delicious, don't get me wrong—love ya, Michigan—but the first time I tried fresh, wild Maine blueberries—at the Big E, after I moved to New England—I was blown away. I got hooked on those teeny tiny flavor-packed powerhouses, picking up a pint every week at the farmer's market and putting them on everything: oatmeal, granola, ice cream, you name it.
And then I found out that they're nutritional powerhouses, too. "But what's the difference between wild and conventional?" said my colleague, Susie. Well! Let's find out…
How are they different?
Yes, there are differences between wild blueberries and the conventional kind you often see at the grocery store (or grow in your backyard). First, wild blueberries are smaller, with a more intense taste. "It's like regular blueberry mashed into a smaller package," says Kitty Broihier, MS, RD, LD, nutrition advisor for the Wild Blueberry Association of North America.
Another difference: They're, well, wild. Their growing range is limited: you can find the plants in craggy, rocky, glacial locations in Maine, Canada, and Alaska—and that's it. That harsh landscape affects their taste—and nutritional benefits. Luckily, you don't need to start heading north because these days, you can find frozen ones just about everywhere. And the best part: "They are just as nutritious as fresh wild blueberries," says Broihier.
Move ECG
The first ever analog watch with an ECG, activity and sleep tracking, and up to 12 months battery life on your wrist.
Why are they fundamentally different from conventional blueberries?
"Because they are wild, they are naturally stressed, much more than a cultivated berry would be. The blueberries have to work harder to protect themselves. A stressed plant creates its own defenses—in this case, phytonutrients, or natural plant chemicals," Broihier says. That's why there are greater concentrations of phytonutrients in a wild blueberry than in a cultivated one.
But what about the health benefits?
We mentioned phytonutrients — but have you heard of anthocyanins? Scientifically speaking, they're a blue, red, or violet pigment found in plants. Wild blueberries have more of 'em (33 percent more than conventional berries, to be exact), and they're REALLY good for you—for example, they have antiobesity effects and help with insulin resistance.
Lots of studies have also shown that wild blueberries can improve cardiovascular health—one recent study showed they lowered blood pressure in healthy males aged 18 to 70 who consumed wild blueberry powder on a daily basis. Another showed they help speed wound healing (for real—they speed up the migration of cells that help to form new tissue!). They may also boost memory, and, Broihier says, one study is underway to test the effects of wild blueberries on Parkinson's.
Interestingly, how anthocyanins are metabolized may be key to their health effects. "How our bodies break them down is a growing area of research," Boihier says.
Are there any drawbacks?
I asked Boihier about sugar content—something I'm always concerned about because I'm trying to reduce my sugar consumption. Turns out, when it comes to fruits and veggies, the amount of sugar doesn't matter: "The sugar content of wild blueberries is not high. Plus, sugars that are found naturally in foods are not typically of concern. Added sugar—sugar that is typically added to foods with little to no nutritional merit—should be avoided. Most people don't consume enough fruits and vegetables, so discouraging fruit consumption—especially a fruit that is as nutritious as wild blueberries—is doing the consumer a disservice," she says.
So that's it! Go get you some (wild) blueberries—they're delicious and guilt free. And if you're ready, check out my followup post: Healthy & Delicious Wild Blueberry Recipes!

HE left the pitch to a rousing standing ovation – Rickie Lambert, man of the people and suddenly the player with England's World Cup qualifying ambitions thrust on his shoulders.
The 31-year-old Southampton striker, who has done the rounds in the lower leagues, is the antithesis of the modern footballer.
No blacked-out Hummer, no expensive jewellery, no WAG, no fuss where this Scouser is concerned.
He is living the dream after a sudden invitation to tread the international boards, having no doubt often wondered whether the game would afford him a decent living.
Three Lions fans can identify with him – it's a Roy of the Rovers journey which has taken him to footballing outposts like Marine, Macclesfield and Stockport. It's why they cheered the smiling Saint to the rafters as he made way for James Milner in Friday's 4-0 victory over Moldova.
for both of Danny Welbeck's goals.
But this was Moldova. Tuesday night it's Ukraine – the biggest obstacle to an automatic qualifying place for next summer's finals.
There will be no Rooney, no Welbeck following a cruel second yellow card, no Andy Carroll and probably no Daniel Sturridge in what was already a parlous pool of forwards.
Step up Rickie Lee Lambert, almost certain to start against Ukraine as the calm waters of the Moldova game transform into rapids in Kiev.
It's a huge call for a player with less than two full games' international experience, but manager Roy Hodgson believes Lambert can be the man for the big occasion. He insisted: "You are talking about a very mature person, who has seen all that football has to offer.
He has also seen that what life has to offer if you are not in football is maybe not as good.
"The most important thing for Rickie is to feel confident, to feel he has the confidence of the coach and the coaching staff and to feel the players have confidence in him. You don't see anyone not wanting to give him the ball.
The normally mild-mannered Hodgson blew his top after Welbeck's booking, the Manchester United forward adjudged by referee Ivan Kruzliak to have kicked the ball away after being caught offside.
It was why he took Ashley Cole off at half-time and didn't involve Jermain Defoe – both were also a booking away from a ban.
"When your luck is out to the extent it was with Welbeck, I didn't fancy testing it with someone else," Hodgson confessed.
The England boss will resist the temptation to call up reinforcements for the trip to Kiev. "There is no point. Anyone you call up would be cover," he said. "No one is going to jump above Lambert or Defoe, players I know well, are tried and trusted and 100 per cent embroiled in what we are trying to do.
"There is no need for us to panic. We have enough players to put out a balanced team on Tuesday.
"If anything happens during the match we have cover on the bench. What we can't do is replace Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rooney, Welbeck. We might not be replacing Daniel Sturridge.
A draw would be a good result but Hodgson warns that setting out your stall for a point can be dangerous.
"We don't really do that. We try very hard, as naive and simplistic as it sounds, to make certain our defending is spot on against whatever team we play, whether that is Brazil in the Maracana or Moldova or San Marino," he added.
Are you listening Rickie Lambert?
