Evolution 2.0
It may seem at times that there is no good news coming from the Galapagos Islands. The issues facing this remote archipelago making up Ecuador's smallest province read like an eco-nightmare; it seems like practically everything that happens here is a threat to the delicate balance of nature. Want to have a pet dog? It is likely illegal. Do you like raspberries? They are destroying great swaths of the islands. Do you think fishermen are humble, romantic heroes of the sea? In this part of the world they are a ferocious political force, and at the center of a bunch of controversies.
And the assaults on the environment are continuous. Here are the most recent headlines:
Summer 2006: reports received that one of the worlds rarest birds are now extinct on Fernandina Island, where they were first discovered a little over a decade ago. The estimated 100 remaining Mangrove Finches cling to existence on Isabela Island.
August 18, 2006: Ecuador's largest newspaper "Hoy" announced that authorities had discovered not only invasive fresh water Tilapia on San Cristobal Island, but also a green iguana (believed to be from Central America) and astonishingly, a monkey! These animals do not exist naturally in the Galapagos and are believed to have escaped from tourist boats in the islands.
Sept. 21, 2006: emergency clean up of bunker oil on the shore of Santa Cruz Island. The spill is of unknown origin, but required the efforts of dozens of people to contain the spill and wash off iguanas, birds, and other animals.
Undated: The Charles Darwin Research station reports that "Alien Predators" are competing for the precious Galapagos tortoise habitat. According to the Darwin website, invasive donkeys and cattle trample and collapse nests, destroying the balance of soil humidity necessary for the successful incubation of tortoise eggs, pigs and dogs tear the nests apart and eat the eggs, black rats prey on the hatchlings as they emerge from the nest, and non-native fire ants are capable of killing the hatchlings and destroying the eggs as well. Oh, and don't forget the goats and fire ants: they out-compete the tortoise for food and destroy the terrain, causing erosion.
This isn't one or two species at risk, but an entire swath of animals on the brink of extinction.
Since 1997, the country has had seven presidents. The German based political watchdog group Transparency International ranks the Ecuadorian government among the most corrupt in the world.
In 2004, the current president Alfredo Palacio took office after violent and deadly demonstrations on the streets of Quito and Guyaquil demanding the resignation of the previous president, Lucio Gutierrez.
As of this writing, Ecuador's leftist candidate Rafael Correa has widened his lead over his rivals in the October 15 presidential election. Correa has gained 26 percentage points while center-left candidate Leon Roldos, Correa's closest rival, dropped one point to 18 percent.
The real political news is that one of the country's banana barons, and scion of Ecuador's leading political family, Alvaro Noboa, trails in third place with 11 percent of support.
In just the last four years, there have been 12 directors of the Galapagos National Park (GNP). Back in 1996, Eliecer Cruz was named head of the Park. He was born in the islands and was widely seen as a rare director who really wanted to stand up to the powerful fisherman's lobby and tourism industries. After prevailing in a number of dramatic confrontations with not only the fishermen, but also one old style judge in Puerto Ayora, even he was replaced.
In late 2004, leadership of the Darwin Foundation negotiated with the Ecuadorian government on the need for 'solid, cohesive leadership' within the Park Service organization. By the end of September, then President Gutierrez removed park director Edwin Nuala – Cruz' successor, a professional biologist and dedicated defender of the park - and replaced him with pro-fishing, pro-development and anti-conservation lobbyist Fausto Cepeda. Cepeda was replaced by Victor Carrion, after tumultuous negotiations with the Minister of the Environment. The current park director is biologist Raquel Molina, who is seen as generally supportive of nature-friendly policies, but with the turn-over in this position, it's unclear what she can really do. La plus ça change…
This instability (and corruption) can't help but influence the Galapagos, which encompass 3,100 square miles of protected lands and about 51,000 square miles of protected waters. By most counts, the current population of about 20,000 people was half that number just 10 years ago.
There are at least a dozen endangered species of mammals and fish here. Over the past 10 years, fishermen have nearly depleted the populations of sea cucumber and shark: they earn huge sums on Asian markets.
Those two main economic interests, fishing and tourism, each have a representative in the nation's congress. Each blames the other for the ecological damage. "The problem isn't the fisherman," said Rogelio Guaycha, congressman from the province who also heads a local fishing cooperative. "What's killing the Galapagos is the tourism." Not surprisingly, tourist industry leaders say the same thing about the fishing industry, which is practically untouchable politically.
The future of the islands, which have been certified a World Heritage site by the United Nations, is by no means secure. It is against this background that a nascent news industry has been trying to find a foothold But how much power can the media in a sparsely populated province spread over 20 islands and thousands of square miles of ocean really have?
This was the overarching question facing network TV producer Cecilia Alvear as she coordinated the efforts of a handful of foundations and a spunky journalist group in the Galapagos. On August 25 and 26, Alvear and her two colleagues, NBC network correspondent George Lewis and me - I'm a journalism professor at Cal State LA and a radio reporter/talk show host - presented an intensive workshop designed to improve skills and increase contacts between journalists and public information officers working in the islands.
Enrique Ramos, editor of the 'Colono' newspaper published in Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island (and an officer at the Charles Darwin Foundation center), helped organize but was unable to attend the workshop because he was under a deadline to get the paper out, said that workshops like this are vital to raise public interest and gain international attention to the island's problems.
Alvear herself was born in the second largest Galapagos city of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, and is the former president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) here in the U.S. Her commitment to the islands goes back many years, providing computers, books and other curricular materials to the local grammar school on San Cristobal island named after her father, Alejandro Alvear, former military governor of the island.
She incorporated a private foundation to raise funds and pursue other support for the two issues that most concern her there: education and journalism.
She set up the foundation in Ecuador and is in the process of establishing a non-profit in the u.s. to raise funds and pursue other support. For now Alvear provides the funds to bring the three instructors to galapagos for this pilot journalism training program. She had the moral backing of the NAHJ (Alvear, Lewis and I are all NAHJ members and the NAHJ "Manual de Estilo' was one of the critical texts used in the workshop). In addition, the Austin Forum of the Knight Foundation for Journalism in the Americas at the University of Texas at Austin also provided support.
The 'Colegio de Periodistas de Galápagos' (CPG) is the local sponsor of the workshop. It was founded in 2002 by 15 people working as journalists or in related professions, to reinforce professional standards and improve their skills. The group was first led by El Colono's Ramos, until the leadership passed recently to Carlos Macias, free-lance journalist and press liaison for the Instituto Nacional de Galapagos (INGALA).
"Colegio" in this context is not an academic institution, but is a term referring a professional association. Larousse Dictionary notes "…the first meaning is of course an institution devoted to secondary education, i.e. high school; but it is also 'a professional organization devoted to establishing rules for the proper conduct of the professionals who belong to it and to defend the professional interests of its members. So when we talk about the "Colegio de Prioodistas de Galapagos", that is what we mean.
INGALA's Macias has worked diligently to raise the level of public respect for their profession, to more clearly understand their legal obligations, and to look for candidates to fill the few journalism related jobs in the area. The spanish environmental organization "ARAUCARIA" contributed the funds necessary to bring the workshop participants from Santa Cruz and Isabela islands to San Cristobal and provide them with room and board while attending the workshop. INGALA provided a conference room.
Under Macias, the CPG hopes to mount up to a half dozen of these workshops per year for the nascent journalism community in various parts of the islands.
Gina Andrade, owner of Radio Encantada (also a long time talk show host on the station) which is heard on San cristobal and Santa Cruz islands attended the two day workshop. She said that she had watched the islands change over the past twenty years she has been on the air. She felt it was important that people outside the islands be made aware of what islanders were facing, and felt the local journalists in the Galapagos could play an important role in getting the message out.
The intensive training sessions were held at the offices of INGALA, just outside Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on San Cristobal Island. Students were put through their paces discussing a range of issues affecting them:
Credibility: without a deep and solid tradition of challenging, balanced reporting, the student journalists began to equate balanced coverage with their own credibility. It also helped them put public information officers in the proper perspective. They are not adversaries, of course, but they do come to news stories with an agenda that may be quite different than that of the journalist. The attendees learned that they can benefit each other and at the same time keep their journalistic ethics intact.
What Makes a Good Story: because there are so many critical stories breaking around these journalists, and because of their obligations covering other stories, sometimes the 'world-class' stories breaking around them are overlooked. The workshop set out to encourage them to look right outside their own doors for important, significant emerging stories.
New Technologies: while journalists in the Galapagos certainly have access to technology to help them report, their available equipment is often outdated and obsolete. The workshop gave them the opportunity to try their hands at equipment that is in use today in the U.S.; equipment which is not particularly expensive to purchase or maintain.
Self-Sufficiency: An age-old problem here has been that 'it's not really news untiil it's picked up on the mainland.' In other words, it takes the certification of the nation's big news organizations to bring important Galapagos stories to the attention of the public. It is hoped that by pooling their efforts and developing new and novel channels of communication, local journalists will have a greater say in getting their stories on the 'national radar.'
Collaboration: considerable time was spent brain-storming ways in which the journalists could help each other, and how their allies and colleagues in the U.S. could provide vital support for their efforts. This has already lead to the formation of an email list serve, making it possible for everyone on the list, both in the Galapagos and in the U.S. to share stories, leads, events, and news that is important to the effort of improving journalism in the Galapagos.
"Lonsome George", the bachelor Galapagos Turtle on Santa Cruz island has a century headstart on the 'Colegio' and although he is still thriving, he hasn't seemed very interested in passing his genes on. The journalists of the Colegio hope they will be more successful at growing their profession in these brilliant, enigmatic islands. If their skills grow as fast as technology, evolution may finally be on their side.

Carapachudos
Many years ago, in Virginia City, I befriended some young monks who were a part of a small Yoga community. (http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/1980/04/1980-04-01.shtml) The swami, whose name was Subramuniya, had led these acolytes into the mountains of Nevada, to meditate, to reflect, and to run a graphics and print shop that served the rest of growing empire. One of the young brothers in particular took a liking to me – I was all of 14 or so at the time. His name was Chris, and he explained why he had left his family in the east, had given up his Christian upbringing to take up with Subramuniya. He told me that among other things, since the guru had contemplation centers in Hawaii, California and other places, he could move his students around as part of their formation. Chris related Subramuniya's concept of never letting one of his monks get too settled in one place. Travel, change of environment, a new bed to lay down on at night, was possibly the single most growth-invoking assignment Subramuniya could give his students. As Chris related it, travel was what caused you to dig down into the deepest part of your soul, to find your own natural resourcefulness, and to address the world as an equal, and from an entirely new perspective.
That conversation stuck with me deeply over the years. I've come to believe that travel unlocks the brain, shakes out old habits, and really defines who you are.
This trip to Ecuador with my friend Cecilia and her significant other George, came out of the blue.
Cecilia was born in the Galapagos Islands, daughter of the military governor of the islands and his young bride.
Cecilia went through a lifetime of experiences, surviving days at sea on a passenger ship in which the engine died, a coup in 1941, and scraping by as a student in Los Angeles in the late 60s. But she has managed to return not only to Ecuador, but to the Galapagos as often as she can, and has continued to try to help the islands by supplying computers, educational supplies, musical instruments – whatever she could to improve the lives of the people who live on the remote chunks of volcanic rock, 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. The local slang name for folks living on San Cristobal Island (there are slang names for those living on the other islands as well) is 'Carapachudo', derived from the word 'carapace', describing the world famous tortoises.
When a mutual friend who was to accompany Cecilia and George was forced to bow out at the last minute, and my schedule was clear and open to join her, I jumped at the opportunity to not only travel a bit, but also to see those legendary islands that started a revolution in thinking 150 years ago.
The trip down from LA was brutal. Leaving home at 3:30 in the morning, only to survive two very long lines at LAX (this is less than two weeks after the much-publicized arrest of suspected terrorists in England) and dragging nearly 100 pounds of clothes and equipment, by the time we reached Miami to change planes, the tiredness was washing over us like the South Florida surf. The flight from Miami to Quito is really fairly short, and for that I was grateful.
Passport and customs were a breeze, and from what I could see at night, Quito appears to be a genial, friendly sprawl of a city.
We transferred to the home of Cecilia's brother Eduardo in San Rafael, north of Quito. The place is beautiful and welcoming. More later; my eyes are drooping.

The travel writer Pico Iyer once wrote that "Taking planes seems as natural to me as picking up the phone or going to school…". It is in some ways easier to get to some of the far corners of the planet than ever before, but the fact remains, the movement of our physical self from one place to the other, a long way from the starting point, is a big effort. "Beam me up, Scottie…" seems so much easier, but it misses a lot of the journey as well.
But like the comment of Swami Subramuniya so many years ago, travel reveals who we really are.
We can't rely on our station in life, our reputation, our network of friends – in any but a broad superficial way – to help us on that journey. We really have to dig down deep to discover our inner strengths and our own considerable resources.
The little rituals of how you lay out your toiletries in the bathroom, how you arrange your clothes and laundry, where you put your shoes become very important. For some, the chaos of just throw it anywhere works swell. For others (for me!), there's a kind of reassurance in putting those little rituals in place when we have so little control of so much of the rest of our external environment.
I also learned many years ago, on my first international trip with Father Paul Meinecke, the pastor at St. Mary's in the Mountains in Virginia City, that you can really take the measure of a friend's character by traveling with them. Somehow, the crankiness or peevishness we might tolerate in a home setting becomes intolerable on the road; and on the road, we have ways of escaping, easily.
Since the journey is so tiring to begin with – the strange sense of exertion, even though you are mostly sitting still being transported physically and psychically – we have very little tolerance for petty concerns or spoiled behavior. The demand that your toast be 'just so' in a restaurant at home, or that your seat isn't as close to the window as you'd like just seem pathetic and insensitive.
On the positive side, traveling with a companion who is comfortable with the rigors of living at hours when everyone else is asleep, where your dirty hair, sweaty neck and sleep-deprived eyes are on display for the whole world to see, has a strange bonding effect. You are living in the interstices of life; not quite in country "A", but not exactly in country "B" either. You've been through the trials of deprivation and lack of sleep; you must have connections that are more than casual, you are pilgrims and refugees, after all, temporarily at least, without a familiar bed in which to escape.
Because both George and Cecilia have traveled so widely, their road experiences were much, much broader than mine. Also, since we were traveling to Ecuador, the land of Cecilia's birth, childhood, and family, they were moving through channels they had passed many times before. This was a sort of trip home for Cecilia.
They are lovely traveling companions. Not only are they solicitous of my comfort and circumstances, they are nearly heroic in their good spirits and cheer. Our rhythms quickly fall into a comfortable pattern: they seemed to tire when I tired. They were hungry when I am hungry, and thirsty when I need to drink something. George, who has covered so many historic happenings in his professional capacity with NBC, has quips, anecdotes and tales of adventure to keep anyone engaged.
Also, at our age – not naïve kids any more – we seem to have a good sense of boundaries too. There are times when we need to be apart and independent, and other times when the meal enjoyed in a local restaurant serves as a review of the days activities and a preview of the day ahead. These meals, which serve as the sort of guide posts for the day, become a really lovely part of the trip; not just for the adventure of eating in a foreign country and culture, but also for sharing our life stories.
I've traveled with lots of people over the years; with friends and lovers, family members and professional colleagues, each with its own flavor and rhythm. Some were triumphal returns to home or work, some to fulfill obligations, and some for sheer pleasure. Most, however, were simple jaunts to another city. The handful of those long, international journeys spent with good companions have been few, and I can't imagine any more pleasant and charming than George and Cecilia.
There is typically a moment at the end of the journey when something crosses your mind to share, and you turn automatically to that friend, and of course, they aren't there. You are back in your own environment, and that time passed with the travel companion is fading quickly into memories.

If last year taught us anything, it's that communications (or the lack thereof) during a crisis can make or break your brand. Whether you're a banking powerhouse or a multinational retail chain, how you respond to a crisis can have lasting impact on your organization.
Among present-day corporate crises, information breaches have the potential to be the most harmful, both to the companies themselves and their customers. Verizon's 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report revealed that there were a total of 1,367 "security incidents with confirmed data loss" in 2013 alone. The average cost of a data breach is a whopping $3.5 million for each company or around $200 per record, but a substantial part of that cost can be attributed to a loss of brand equity.
How your company communicates with business partners, customers, and the media is usually at the forefront following a breach. A study from the Ponemon Institute revealed that nearly 50 percent of CEOs surveyed believed their company would suffer a data breach within the next 12 months yet only nine percent believed they had an effective incident response plan in place.As we've seen, failing to prepare a response could significantly damage a company with an otherwise untarnished reputation.
Developing a crisis communication plan minimizes the impact an information breach has on your business. The crisis communications planning process starts with conducting a communications preparedness audit. This will entail identifying critical issues and vulnerabilities within your company, sitting down with the appropriate internal stakeholders, and asking the kinds of questions necessary to develop a set of communications response procedures to follow in the event of a crisis.
When sensitive information is compromised, it can be financially and emotionally taxing on those affected. Such incidents destroy customer confidence in those tasked with protecting their information. As a result, helping your customers should be top priority. An effective crisis plan will involve helping your clients and all those impacted. Your customers must be assured that you're willing to go above and beyond to serve them. Taking the necessary measures to avoid future incidents and communicating this to those affected is a step toward restoring trust.
Crises need not define your business. If well-managed, a crisis response, together with an effective recovery program, will generate a positive impression among stakeholders and restore faith in your company.


My quilting goals for this past year were simple enough.
At the beginning of 2009 I have way to many projects in the works. So I'm going to work on getting them done this year, along with not buying speculation fabric – or even fabric that I'm not ready to use immediately. That doesn't mean I won't buy fabric, just that I'll pay better attention to what and when I buy it.
So what happened? Before January was up I had bought a few FQs and fabric for a quilt, which I still haven't made. There were two more purchases over the year of fabrics for quilts which now sit as PIGS (Projects I Grocery Sacks), but I'd like to think the rest of my purchases were either immediately made up or to fill holes in my stash.
On the other hand, I finished 7 UFOs and 6 new projects. They are recapped on the 2009 Finishes page.
I also moved 11 quilts from the "working on" stage to the "completed top" stage. Only 4 of those were new starts in 2009. There are another 4 quilts which were started last year which haven't made it to the "complete top" stage.
Overall, I accomplished plenty in the quilting realm of 2009. But I really need to work on FINISHING things instead of starting new.


GCC's early handling of the ANSI #pragma construct is perhaps worth noting at this point. Compiler writers are at liberty to deal with #pragma as they see fit. Paul Rubin, in a bit of whimsy, chose to start running the Tower-of-Hanoi game under emacs. Where this was impossible, a session of the hack game was attempted. Failing that, a rogue session was attempted. When all of these efforts failed, the compiler printed the error message: "You are in a maze of twisty compiler features, all different".
More recent versions of GCC have this code disabled, however, and #pragma directives now are simply ignored. The original code is still distributed, though, for those who prefer it.

I'm such a dork. I picked up one of these back in the 90's for my son John who is now at Utah Valley University. It is still in my storage rental. Not much else from his days of toddler but most certainly , we kept this. My good friend and patient Russ Hall owned the dealership in Maine.

Triglycerides and phospholipids are examples of lipid macromolecules (large molecules composed of several smaller ones - but not necessarily a polymer).
Phospholipids play a crucial role in forming the plasma membrane of cells. They form a bilayer with the FA tails facing into each other, and the polar heads facing outwards and dissolving in the aqueous intra- and extracellular fluids.
They are ideal for forming cell surface membranes as they enable integration of other molecules into the 'mosaic' and help to regulate the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.

She said it was Skyrim or her.
Better to live with someone who embraces your hobbies than someone who continually wants to change you.
Unless they're like, *super* hot.
No, if her character was crappy and/or incompatible with mine, I wouldn't want her as my gf, even if she was the most beautiful woman in the world. But of course you and everybody else is free to be as superficial as you like. Everybody's got their own priorities.
I'm just aware of my basic animal limitations. I know that if I were still unmarried and a really hot dude expressed interest in me, no matter what basic obvious incompatibilities we had I'd still be sorely tempted to *try* and make it work.
And probably end up breaking up over gaming a couple weeks later.
relationships can be about compromise – but never about blackmail.
Lol. We don't know a thing about the friend and his game. How often he played, when he played, what he wasn't doing because he was playing, nothing, nada. I am inclined to think the guy was disfunctional becasue of his game playing, not that the girlfriend was not understanding.

Biden Enters The Race: US Politics in 60 Seconds
Will Don McGahn wind up testifying before Congress?
Really tough call. I think he probably will. I think that he wants to. White House will invoke executive privilege. There will be a legal fight. But if he gets up there, it could be like John Dean in 1973, because McGahn knows exactly what Trump said on firing Robert Mueller.
Why does Mitch McConnell want to raise the smoking age to 21?
Well, he says it's to combat youth smoking. Anti-tobacco activists think it's a smoke screen, so to speak, to block other anti-smoking and vaping efforts.
How does Joe Biden getting in the race change things for other Democrats?
Well he's the front-runner, he's raising a lot of money, they'll have to go after him and attack him for being too moderate and not having enough positions on critical issues. The question is how far does Biden feel the need to go left?
What was the funniest joke at the White House Correspondents Dinner?
Well there was no comedian, so there weren't a lot of jokes. But Ron Chernow suggested that if President Trump's immigration policies had been in place Alexander Hamilton might never have gotten into the United States.

If you could add anything to the GYPSY CD (songs, or dialouge) what would you add?
I'd add the lines when all the people during the crossover are talking about Louise right before she does the strip, and i'd also add GYPSY's dialogue when she's DOING the strip..(during the Minkski's part)
what would you add?

The traveling sequence and the underscoring for when Louise gets ready for the strip. Also the underscoring for when Rose walks out for Rose's Turn.
"The child is so sweet and the girls are so rapturous. Isn't it lovely how artist's can capture us?~" Sunday in the Park with George
I'd add the reprise of "Together, Wherever We Go", followed by the honky-tonk music that accompanies the transition into the burlesque house. Also, the full version of "Dainty June and Her FarmBoys."

Bernadette-Fanatic
I wholeheartedly agree about the underscoring before Rose's Turn. It's so incredibly eerie and made my heart almost skipped a beat when I first saw it.
I also think the underscoring when Rose is frantically trying to get the score in order before Gypsy's strip should have been included. That moment was one that was imbedded in my memory the first time I saw it. The utter desperation that Rose shows during that scene is so tragic.

Oh my gosh I know. At that part, I totally and completely lost it. tears just began rolling down my face. I was soooooo moved by her performance there - it was amazing. I would love to be able to hear it on the recording. Every time i listen to Rose's Turn, I always picture the dialogue right before it. wow.
posted: 6/11/2004 at 7:46:45 PM ET
The whole show. Is that an option or just wishful thinking? I'd like all of Baby June's first act to be there about how some people thank their fathers, most people thank their mothers etc. I'd also like to see the whole confrontation between Rose and Gypsy, everything Gypsy says during the strip and everything that is said after Rose's Turn. And also the complete version of Together Wherever We Go.

I'd add the reprise of "Together, Wherever We Go"
Elmo, what reprise do you mean? I know there is the first part of the song which ends with them landing on each others laps on the basket....and then a second part when they finish by clanking the dishes. Both parts are on the cd, they're just mushed together without any dialogue in between.
<3CMH<3
I think they are referring to the part where the say, "We go in a group, we tour in a troupe, the things we do we do by threes we go together no this way Louise". That was definately in the show when I saw it for the second time but it's not on the CD.
Ohhhh okay. lol For some reason I thought I was forgetting something.
Yeah, that part should have been on the cd.


First thing you need to know about dogs breeds. Thought about getting a pet dog? Are you already the proud owner of a dog? If yes to either question, you need to read the tips below. You should go over the following article to learn more about what being a dog owner entails.
Always buy high quality food for your best friend. After a while it's good for the dog if it has been eating nutritious and high quality food. Sure, it's more expensive. But, isn't your pet worth it?
Certain breeds of dog are prone to certain health problems, and you should be aware of what's typical for your type of dog. Check your dog's genetic background if possible to determine if he is more likely to develop certain medical conditions. Also, talk to your vet about things that can be done to increase the odds for your dog's breed.
Can you remember everything you just read? Reread this article if you need to. You will be relieved when you have a problem and already know how to rectify the situation. These tips should be applied daily to have a great relationship with your pup.


A landing page can be a page that visitors come to after clicking on an advertising banner or link. Eventually, the landing page should convince the visitor that they must remain on your site.
What's going to keep them there? The structure, the language, and the visual appeal all play a part of it. Have a look at these tips to develop an excellent landing page, or reinvent the one you already have.
Individuals reach your site looking for responses. They scan to see if they're in the right location and examine whether it's going to be a quick and easy see or a long grinding one. Your landing page is the welcome wagon inviting them in and feeding them the details they need. The structure of the page will either pull them in and encourage them to meet your goal, or sidetrack and cause them to eliminate of there prior to getting the entire image.
The structure of the landing page in general need to be matching that of the banner, link or advertisement they clicked to get them there. So for instance, if your Pay Per Click Advertisement is targeting SEO short articles, your landing page ought to go over precisely that. If a Victoria Trick's Advertisement for lingerie appears and you click on it, you will be transferred to a landing page with the exact image and structure of the advertisement.
• Copy positioning– Strategic usage of copy and graphics will catch the visitor's attention. Don't muck up the page with big, distracting graphics. Usage plenty of whitespace and place your message in the main portion of the page instead of placing info down the sides, where the focus can be lost rapidly. Keep the copy short. The visitor expects an accurate message, so do not choke it up with loads of mindless prose.
• Beauty is in the eye– Use a constant color palate. Make sure the idea and color scheme match across the board if you have advertising or banners that link visitors to your website. It's also a great visual indication for the visitor because they can quickly identify that they're still in the ideal place.
Before you design the landing page, choose what the goal of the page will be. The objective will be to have the visitor enter their information and become a member of your mailing list if you're looking for newsletter customers.
Do your research. When developing your landing page and tailor it to fit their requirements, keep your visitors in mind. By narrowing your options and focusing on your visitor, you'll remain on target.
Keep the focus on you. You've dangled a big poster board over their head and pulled them in. Now that you have actually got them, do not provide your visitors a reason to wander.
Numerous sites place the consultation type or contact kind directly on the landing page, which may not be such a bad concept. Once again, you need glaring calls to action. Do not include a number of ineffective links on the page that will take the visitor back to your main site; rather consist of the links that will get them to really buy your product/service.
Produce landing pages with no grammatical or spelling mistakes. As I clicked out of there, I visualized the four-star flea-bag motel by the swampland I might have scheduled if I remained.

Spider-Man's Mermaid Cousin!
Here's one for you no-prize enthusiasts! Back in STRANGE TALES #97, two months before the Amazing Spider-Man debuted in AMAZING FANTASY #15, his creators, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, did a short story called "Goodbye to Linda Brown." Linda was a young woman who was adopted by a kind couple who lived near the beach. Linda is confined to a wheelchair, and at the end of the story, she leaves her adoptive family, and we see why:
That's right, folks, Linda Brown's a mermaid! What a twist! (I love those old twist endings.)
But the most interesting part of the story is Linda's aunt and uncle:
Her Aunt May and Uncle Ben!
Now obviously, obviously, these are May and Ben Parker, Spider-Man's aunt and uncle. So obviously, obviously, Peter Parker has an adoptive mermaid cousin. But some questions do arise. For example:
Why is Linda's last name Brown?
Why did Uncle Ben go from a gray-haired, mustached thin guy to a white-haired shaven fat guy?
If Ben and May took care of Peter for his entire life, how far back is this story? Is Peter actually here, and we just don't see him?
Why are the Parkers living by the beach?
When will Dan Slott and Ty Templeton tell the story of Peter Parker meeting his mermaid cousin?
Have at it, folks! The more creative the answers, the better. Winner gets a cookie. Continuity nuts who can't appreciate humor and want to answer with "This isn't really Aunt May and Uncle Ben, you idiot," don't get anything.
In the meantime, this story and a lot of other Ditko goodies can be found in MARVEL VISIONARIES: STEVE DITKO !
Featured In: Duy, Spider-Man, Stan Lee, Steve Ditko
I think it's the younger Ben and May. There is this missing link from Aunt May's lines. Amazing Spiderman #238.
Can't figured it out. Hmmm.
Details, friends, I need details!

Wow, I didn't know about this wonderful back-story of Marvel history. I will TOTALLY bring this to Dan's attention.

Slow going at PIC inquiry as Holomisa and lawyer again square off
The judicial commission of inquiry into state-run asset manager the Public Investment Corporation moved forward at a snail's pace on Monday, as UDM leader Bantu Holomisa continued to be cross-examined by lawyer Daniel Berger, SC.
Berger is representing the Lebashe Investment Group, Harith Fund Management and Harith General Partners, as well as ex-PIC chair Jabu Moleketi, ex-top PIC executive Tshepo Mahloele, and Warren Wheatley.
When Holomisa first appeared before the inquiry in mid-March, he questioned the relationship between Berger's clients and the asset manager, saying they appear to have had easy access to PIC funding, and flagged potential conflicts of interest.
Berger then applied for leave to cross-examine Holomisa. The cross-examination started on Wednesday and continued on Monday. It was again a stop-start affair, characterised by interruptions, testy exchanges and a number of statements from the chair, former Supreme Court of Appeal President Justice Lex Mpati.
"Mr Holomisa, you are getting confused now," said Berger at one stage.
"It is you who is getting confused," Holomisa shot back.
'All he does is speculate'
Berger said that his client Harith Fund Management was set up in 2007 to manage the investments of the Pan African Infrastructure Development Fund, which eventually raised $630m.
Harith General Partners, meanwhile, was established a few years later to raise money for a second fund, the Pan African Infrastructure Development Fund 2, which in the end raised $435m.
He said the PIC exposure to Harith was a seed capital of between R17m to R22m, which has already been paid back.
Berger said the second company needed to be established because the Harith Fund Managers could not, according to its mandate, investment in more than one fund. Staff and assets were migrated from the first to the second fund.
"Mr Holomisa has no evidence at all, and all that he does is speculate," he said.
Berger added that Holomisa had no facts to suggest that the transfer of staff from Harith Fund Managers to Harith General Partners and transfer of management agreement was irregular.

He denied that the Government Employees Pension Fund - a major investor in both funds - had made losses as suggested by Holomisa, saying they had a profit.
The UDM leader, meanwhile said it was not up to him to present proof in response to Berger's questions. Holomisa said his job was rather to present evidence to the commission for it to evaluate, at one stage referring to himself as a "messenger".
"Let the commission verify whether this is factual or not," he replied to a number of Berger's questions.
Holomisa said the commission had the tools to investigate allegations of conflicts of interest, not him, and the commission would make the final determination. "We are going to go deep and get to the bottom of the truth," he said at one stage.
When asked by Berger if he agreed that the GEPF had indeed made a profit, Holomisa replied, "You are wasting your time - you are not going to get any concessions from me."

The Ex-veteran Army and the undefeated boxing champion keeps the personal interest low-key as she is very concerned about her career.
Others see 23 years age difference, they see the bond, maturity, and emotional connection. Yes, Elizabeth and Rosie O'Donnell, 56, are engaged turning blind-side to their huge age difference.
It all started when they met for the first time at a theatre. However, they never got introduced in their initial meeting; it was only after a year, the duo met in the same event and developed a romantic bond. The couple, who are in an open dating relationship for more than a year, confirmed their engagement after weeks of rumors floating in the media.
The engaged duo maintained a long-distance relationship and managed to keep the flame alive as Elizabeth serves as a cop in Boston whereas Rosie lives in the New York City.
Elizabeth even flaunted her engagement on her Instagram ending weeks of speculation on 23 October 2018. It was Elizabeth, who was responsible for keeping the engagement at bay for a long time.
Although the duo is engaged, they intend to keep their fans waiting for their wedding. Rosie mentioned that wedding day might be a long way far for the couple. However, Rosie later stated that she asked Elizabeth to look forward to their wedding in the summer. And regarding their engagement, Rosie asserted that she is pleased to be connected with someone younger than her.
For Rosie, Elizabeth is a beautiful woman and also praised her being the Army and the undefeated boxing champion. Rosie believes that her partner is very much herself and loves what she does. The family members of both have told that the couple is "very much in love" and are happy with each other.
Rosie had been married twice and had five children from her relationships. She was married to Kelli Carpenter, with whom her marriage was annulled by the court. With Kelli, she had four children (three adopted and one bore by Kelli) before they separated in 2007. She later shared the wedding vows with Michelle Rounds and stayed married for three years until 2015.
How Much Is Elizabeth Rooney's Net Worth?

Generally, you should consider the same aspects when connected to UKLAN, as when using the Internet at home.
Keep your operating system and applications up to date. Java, Flash Player and media players are frequent targets for viruses and trojans, as they are available on many computers.
The security software company Flexera offers a software inspector for personal use on Windows. It examines whether applications are up to date, offers links to update programs and updates critical applications automatically.
Use a virus scanner that scans all files automatically in the background (on-access scanning). Never install multiple antivirus solutions on a single machine as this will impair the operation of each scanner.
We offer employees of the University of Cologne a campus license for Sophos Anti-Virus. For private use, Avira Antivir is freely available.
We recommend that you use the firewall in your operating system. All modern operating systems install a firewall as standard which is sufficient for accessing networks and the Internet. They prevent external access to your computer.
To avoid losing important data, make sure that you backup your data regularly to another hard disk or to your network storage area in SoFS or AFS. You can also create a complete image of your data using the TSM clients.
Working with restricted user rights will increase the security of your computer. This means that you should add another account in addition to the administrator account. Current Windows operating systems also have additional user protection, which requires that users confirm certain changes to their systems.
Folders and printers can be shared for other users on the network in windows. Do not log on to the UKLAN via Wi-Fi or VPN with devices that have folders or printers shared. There is a risk that these shares can be seen by users on the same network and that third parties may access your private data. If you remove the Windows Firewall exception for "File and Print Sharing" you can prevent this from happening.

Does Certification in Vascular Access Matter? Insights from the National Picc 1 Survey
Dr. Valerie M Vaughn, MD*1,2; Latoya Kuhn, MPH1,3; David Ratz, MS1,3; Dr. Scott A. Flanders, MD2; Dr. Sarah Krein, PhD1,2,3 and Dr. Vineet Chopra, MD, MSc1,2,3, (1)The Patient Safety Enhancement Program, University of Michigan and VA Ann Arbor Health System, Ann Arbor, MI, (2)University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, (3)Center for Clinical Management Research, VA Ann Arbor Health System, Ann Arbor, MI
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Abstract number: 300
Categories: Research Abstracts, Technology in Hospital Medicine
Keywords: Certification, Nursing, Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter and Vascular Access, Picc
Growing use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) has led to the development of certification programs for PICC operators. Much like the debate regarding certification in medicine, whether such certification influences clinical care is unknown. This knowledge gap is relevant for health systems that hire operators based on certification status and for hospitalists who work closely with these providers in securing venous access. Therefore, we conducted a national survey to compare practices between certified and uncertified vascular access providers.
A web-based survey was distributed through the listservs of two vascular access societies, with a combined estimated membership of 8385 (of which an estimated 5662 are PICC operators). Questions regarding experience, practice, and knowledge related to PICC insertion and care were posed. Bivariate comparisons between certified and non-certified practitioners were conducted using chi-square, Fisher's exact, or t-tests, as appropriate.
Of the 2762 potential respondents who accessed the survey, 1698 (61.5%) were deemed eligible and completed the survey. Those who did not place PICCS or had taken the survey previously were excluded. Of the 1450 respondents who provided certification status, 1020 (70.3%) stated they held a vascular-access certification. Roles and settings in which certified and non-certified providers practiced varied considerably (Table). Compared to non-certified operators, certified operators had more years of experience placing PICCs (p<0.001), had placed more PICCs (p<0.001), and were more likely to be the vascular access lead for their organization (p<0.001). Self-reported adherence to evidence based practices was variable (Table). Certified operators were more likely to report they re-advanced dislodged devices (p<0.001) and did not follow certain sterile insertion practices. However, compared to non-certified operators, they were more likely to report the correct management of suspected PICC-related deep venous thrombosis (p<0.001). Notably, certified operators were also more likely to view themselves as consultants whose views were not valued by members of the team (p=0.007).
Important differences between certified and non-certified vascular access operators exist. Nonetheless, reported variability in the use of evidence-based practices among those certified suggests that future studies to evaluate sources of such variation may be necessary. Given the ongoing debate regarding the role of certification in other fields, understanding the impact of vascular access certification on care and outcomes in hospitalized patients may prove useful.

First Source Federal Credit Union began with humble beginnings as Utica Teachers Federal Credit Union in 1938 when a small group of dedicated Utica teachers banded together during the Great Depression to provide a safe haven for savings dollars and a reliable source of loans.
Over the years, the credit union grew and expanded to include membership eligibility for all local schools, colleges and universities. It wasn't long before other employer groups outside of the teaching realm realized their banking needs were not being met and they could also benefit from Credit Union Membership. This eventually led to First Source gaining our Community Charter where anyone who lives, works, worships, goes to school or conducts business regularly in Oneida or Herkimer Counties can be a member of First Source.
While we have certainly seen change over the years, the one constant has been our relentless focus on you – our valued members and community.

US remains top military spender, SIPRI reports
By Daniel Cebul
In this June 3, 2011, the Pentagon is seen from air from Air Force One. It's the biggest budget the Pentagon has ever seen: $700 billion. That's far more in defense spending than America's two nearest competitors, China and Russia, and will mean the military can for the bill for thousands more troops, more training, more ships and a lot else. (Charles Dharapak/AP)
WASHINGTON ― Worldwide military spending is estimated to have reached $1.7 trillion in 2017, according to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. This is the highest level of military expenditure since the end of the Cold War.
The top five biggest spenders were the United States, China, Saudi Arabia, Russia and India, which accounted for 60 percent of global military spending.
The U.S. spent $610 billion on its military in 2017, a little over a third of world wide expenditures. Although U.S. spending has decreased from 2008 levels by 14 percent, it still spends 2.7 times more than the next highest spender, China.
China, Russia and India saw dramatic increases in spending since 2008. According to the report Chinese military spending in 2017, approximately $228 billion, has increased 110 percent since 2008, with Russian and Indian spending growing by 36 and 45 percent to $69.4 billion and $66.3 billion, respectively.
Between 2016 and 2017, China increased military spending by 5.6 percent, Saudi Arabia by 9.2 percent and India by 5.5 percent. Despite announcing a new host of nuclear weapons and completing the country's largest military exercises in history, Russia's spending fell by 20 percent in the same time frame.
Lockheed gets $1.4B contract for F-35 sustainment
The payment will cover sustainment for all U.S. and international F-35s for a year.
By Valerie Insinna
"The increases in world military expenditure in recent years have been largely due to the substantial growth in spending by countries in Asia and Oceania and the Middle East, such as China, India and Saudi Arabia," said Dr Nan Tian, researcher with the SIPRI Arms and Military Expenditure program. "At the global level, the weight of military spending is clearly shifting away from the Euro–Atlantic region."
Out of the top 15 military spenders, only the U.S., United Kingdom and Italy had a decrease in spending over the last decade.

AS MEMBERS OF We're Coming Back, a campaign advocating for voting rights for Irish emigrants, we spent a significant portion of last week defending the right of Irish citizens abroad to participate in Irish elections. In response, it was not uncommon to be told that this was a strange, unworkable notion – an affront to the sovereignty of resident citizens. However, in an almost perfect display of timing, these objections were accompanied by an email from Trinity College, Dublin, reminding graduates to register for their postal vote in Seanad Éireann.
As it stands, some Irish emigrants can vote in the election of representatives to the Seanad – as long as they possess a third level degree from the University of Dublin or a National University of Ireland. Seanad elections use a secret postal ballot, which graduates can easily receive and return from abroad. Under the current system, then, allowing Irish citizens to vote from abroad is strange and unworkable – unless they've got the right degree.
The Government's proposed reforms to redraw this academic constituency and enable all university graduates to participate in the election of six senators to Seanad Éireann will, of course, enfranchise many more Irish emigrants. These graduate emigrants will be able to vote without having to defend that right from allegations that enfranchising the Irish abroad will threaten the sovereignty of resident citizens and undermine the political landscape of Ireland. They won't be asked to demonstrate their continued Irishness, or to prove that the passengers on a plane leaving home don't all suddenly become political radicals. Why? Why won't they have to argue or debate or defend the legislation that will include them in the Irish political process?
Why aren't Irish emigrants included in the political process?
There are a few potential answers – nobody knows, nobody cares, or they just don't think it's a problem to afford emigrants representation at home. On the first answer, it seems highly unlikely that successive Irish governments have had no idea that people have been posting their votes home from abroad for decades, particularly when so many openly register with overseas addresses. That it has been brought up in public debates about emigrant voting stretching back as far as 1991 confirms this.
Furthermore— to invalidate the second answer— a selection of these debates from the mid-90s demonstrate that Irish people historically do care about emigrant voting in Seanad elections. Back then, the current Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Brendan Howlin, was responsible for drafting a Constitution Amendment Bill on Votes for Emigrants. It aimed to extend the right to elect three senators to Seanad Éireann to Irish emigrants who had resided in Ireland for over 10 years and had not been outside Ireland for more than 20 years.
It was instigated on the basis of a pledge made by the coalition between Fine Gael, Labour and the Democratic Left in the programme 'A Government of Renewal'. Enough people cared about this proposed reform for a coalition government to believe it warranted not only a referendum, but also a consultation paper chaired by a government minister, and consideration by the Dáil Committee on Finance and General Affairs. In these considerations, the fact that a portion of Irish emigrants already had a vote as emigrated graduates came up several times. They posed a problem as, under new legislation, they would be able to vote twice; firstly as emigrants and secondly as university graduates.
In the end, the Government was spared having to find an answer to this question; several Irish emigrant organisations could not reach consensus on whether representation in Seanad Éireann was enough, and the proposals were shelved. Almost 20 years later the Seanad is finally to be reformed— but to a far lesser extent. Many Irish emigrants will still see an increase in their ability to politically participate in Irish public affairs, but they only retain this right as graduates. In the eyes of the State, then, it is their degree that ultimately enables them to vote, not their citizenship. These proposals and the debates surrounding them have made clear that the third answer is most accurate: Irish citizens participating from abroad simply does not pose any credible threat to the integrity of our public institutions. The Houses of the Oireachtas will not crumble if citizens abroad are afforded a say.
Perhaps the reasoning behind this blind eye is that the political opinions of university graduates are considered more valuable. Perhaps the intention is to encourage emigrant graduates to feel more involved in Ireland and, ultimately, to return. Regardless, it is regrettable that such inclinations are not extended to the many Irish tradespeople in Australia, or to those who couldn't afford university and left to work in England, or to the many, many other Irish citizens abroad who have just as much of a claim to representation at home as those who hold a university degree. As Irish citizens, it is the passport in their pocket that should matter, not a four-year bachelors.
As a campaign that advocates for an emigrant vote, perhaps we should be delighted by the Government's plans to reform the Seanad. After all, the UCC Émigré survey, carried out last year, showed that 62 per cent of emigrants aged 25-34 have a third-level qualification, and these people will now be able to vote in elections for a House of the Oireachtas. However affording emigrants a vote on the basis of their qualifications, not their citizenship, falls short of the 'democratic revolution' promised by our Government in 2011, post-election. The Seanad referendum and subsequent appetite for reform has provided a real opportunity to afford Irish citizens abroad representation in Irish political life; we would be remiss not to take it.

FashionValet Opens Its First Flagship Store
By Rathika Sheila • 21 Dec 2015 in Hanger
FashionValet is the leading retail website in Malaysia. With over 400 brands in its digital catalogue in addition to having customers from almost every continent, it's really a no-brainer as to how it was christened with such a title. Okay, maybe being the brainchild of Vivy Yusof and her husband Fadza Anuar helped too since they're both fluent in fashion and business.
For those unfamiliar with FashionValet, or as it's fondly known as, FV, it curates the best ready-to-wear collections from regional designers such as Alia Bastamam, Tsyahmi, and Zakwan Anuar to name a few. Having an online business has its limitations, especially if it's retail-related for the simple reason that customers may want to try the products on before buying it — because the struggle of getting clothes you're confident will fit but then it doesn't because the cut is different and you couldn't properly gauge that through a screen is too real! — and feel the garment's quality to justify the cost.
FV has been a webstore since 2010 and a successful one at that, so the next natural step was to open a flagship store — which it finally did in Bangsar Village 2. Now patients of retail therapy will have a physical outlet to heal themselves at — terrible for the bank account but great for the economy. Since FV houses hundreds of brands, it'll rotate which collections to showcase on a fortnightly basis — depending on how fast or slow each brand move. The space will display everything from clothes to accessories to shoes to bags, and yes, the new Sofina's are available here too. Well, what's left from the recent collection anyway (every colour except charcoal and grey) 'cos those babies sell out faster than punk musicians do to capitalism.
Photos of the store below:
FashionValet is located at Level 1, Bangsar Village 2 and is open from 10am to 10pm. Peep our iprice tab here for the latest deals from them.
