JDC established Israel's Centers for Independent Living (CIL) with the guiding belief that people with disabilities deserve a comfortable, welcoming place where they can come to learn, grow and socialize with other people just like them. The first CILs were developed in Jerusalem in 2003 and Beersheva in 2005—both in cooperation with local grassroots non-governmental organizations—based on the successful program model piloted in the United States. Each center is managed by professionals who are themselves disabled, allowing the CILs to maximize abilities instead of emphasizing disabilities.
Today, there are seven CILs across Israel. Serving an average of 1,000 people a year, each center is a hub of activity that focuses on helping people with disabilities develop skills to lead independent lives and participate socially and professionally in Israeli society. A normal week at any CIL may include peer counseling and self-help groups, educational sessions to provide advice on accessing rights and services, advice on assistive devices, employment training, social change advocacy activities and, of course, lots of fun, social events for CIL members and people across the community.
Additionally, as thousands of Israelis with disabilities live simply too far from a CIL to participate, JDC launched the virtual CIL online. Through the online platform, people can partake in interactive workshops, one-on-one chat rooms with trained professionals, social worker support, customized exercises classes and much more. CIL services are now available for all people with disabilities in Israel, no matter where they are. And it's all easily accessible from www.cil.org.il.

The Infoethics Survey of Emerging Technologies prepared by the NGO Geneva Net Dialogue at the request of UNESCO aims at providing an outlook to the ethical implications of future communication and information technologies. The report further aims at alerting UNESCO's Member States and partners to the increasing power and presence of emerging technologies and draws attention to their potential to affect the exercise of basic human rights. Perhaps as its most salient deduction, the study signals that these days all decision makers, developers, the corporate scholar and users are entrusted with a profound responsibility with respect to technological developments and their impact on the future orientation of knowledge societies.

actually i don't have an idea how to do this :D
comment:4 Changed 15 years ago by gogo
- Milestone set to Version 1.0
- Version changed from 2.0 to trunk
Mmm, you could do a fake "translation" of image names perhaps, so instead of loading ed-blah.gif you load _lc('ed-blah.gif')?
comment:5 Changed 15 years ago by niko
not that easy as the url actually is ["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2]
my first idea:
Enhance the language files this way:
//lang/de.js { "Bold": "Fett", "Superscript": "Tiefgestellt", "Justify Left": "LinksbÃŒndig", toolbar: { "buttonname": "image.gif", "bold" : "de_bold.gif" } }
...this way we could later add other items that need to have i18n - like sizes of dialog-windows or whatever.
or create a new button-translation-file with just
//langbutton/de.js { "buttonname": "image.gif", "bold" : "de_bold.gif" }
3rd idea (don't know if this is possible)
we have a ed_buttons_main.gif
why not create a ed_buttons_main_de.gif?
(this would be hard to maintin, unflexible, problematic with plugins and i don't know how we detect if a file exists)
comment:6 Changed 15 years ago by gogo
Hmm. Well, we do need to keep the combined images ( ["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2] means the image at row 1 column 2 in ed_buttons_main) because this gives a great speed boost.
I think option 1 maybe, but, hmm, difficult, how would you have a "native" version like we do currently, you can't very well go
I guess we would have to have a "native" translation file as well so we have
//lang/native.js { "button_bold" : ["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2] } //lang/de.js { "button_bold" : ["ed_buttons_main-de.gif",1,2] } _lc('button_bold');
so the localisation system would just need modification to first check in <_editor_lang>.js, then if it's not there in native.js, then if it's not there just use the "native key" like it does now. This would work I think?
comment:7 Changed 15 years ago by niko
sounds nice for me
i never thought about having an array in the language-file.
although we have to load one more file (for core and for all plugins) which is only needed for those three buttons. isn't this a bit of an overkill?
what would you think about a 3rd parameter for _lc "key"?
if not set the first will be used for key
_lc(["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2], 'HTMLArea', 'button_bold') //lang/de.js { "button_bold" : ["ed_buttons_main-de.gif",1,2] } //and no native.js
comment:8 Changed 15 years ago by gogo
although we have to load one more file (for core and for all plugins) which is only needed for those three buttons. isn't this a bit of an overkill?
We could just put the native array in htmlarea.js itself..
HTMLArea._specialTranslations = { "button_bold" : ["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2] }
what would you think about a 3rd parameter for _lc "key"? if not set the first will be used for key
Hmm, how about _lc(['button_bold', ["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2]], 'HTMLArea'), ie the key to translate can either be a string _lc('Hello World') or a tuple ['key', <alt-native>]... that would be cleaner than a third argument IMHO.
comment:9 Changed 15 years ago by niko
i like this solution:
_lc(['button_bold', ["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2]], 'HTMLArea')
i think i should implement it...
comment:10 Changed 15 years ago by niko
...but it is not that easy, because
_lc(['button_bold', ["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2]], 'HTMLArea')
_lc(["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2], 'HTMLArea')
are both valid!
so how do i find out if in the second example i have to use ed_buttons_main.gif as key?
one possibility would be this:
_lc({key: 'button_bold', string: ["ed_buttons_main.gif",1,2]}, 'HTMLArea')
thinking about that we could even add a 3rd key "replace" - instead of the 3rd agument as i did just for #291
comment:11 Changed 15 years ago by niko
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
commited this in changeset:290
for german i added allready 3 buttons
currenlty only bold, italic, strikethrough, subscript, superscript and underline can be translated.

COURTS: Navy employee gets 41 months in prison
A federal judge gave two former civilian Navy employees and three North County defense contractors prison sentences ranging from 18 months to more than three years for their roles in a years-long bribery and fraud scheme at North Island Naval Air Station.
U.S. District Court Judge Larry A. Burns also sentenced two other former Navy workers to probation and spending 30 consecutive weekends at the downtown federal jail.
The sentences came in a case in which prosecutors said more than $1 million in gifts ---- including cash, gift cards for Home Depot, Lowe's and the Apple store, and home remodeling work ---- was given to the Navy employees over at least a six-year period. And the case is far from over.
The owners of two of the defense contractors involved in the scheme have been indicted on bribery, money laundering and fraud charges.
The case is also widening. On Oct. 3, federal prosecutors charged a fifth Navy worker, Kenneth Ramos, with conspiracy to commit bribery and bribery of a public official. Court records state from 2007 to 2011 he received more than $10,000 in cash, jewelry and electronics from one of the defense contracts, keeping some for himself and distributing some gifts to others at the base.
The most severe sentence Burns handed down on Tuesday was for Donald Vangundy, 54, of Chula Vista, who received 41 months in prison. Prosecutors say he took $413,000 in gifts from defense contractors over the years, pressuring them to provide the goods in order to keep doing business with the Navy.
Vangundy's lawyer told Burns his client was one part of a larger culture that pressures workers to perform tasks the military needs, and lean on contractors to get the job done. Lawyer Gerald Blank told the judge "the government's claim this all started with Mr. Vangundy is just plain wrong."
Blank said Vangundy accepted responsibility for his actions, but indicated contractors giving gifts to workers is nothing new.
"This has been going on that island for a long time," he said.
Burns did not disagree, but said it was not a reason to escape punishment.
"This was a long-running abuse of the public trust," he said.
Kiet Luc, 53, an assistant to Vangundy, got a 30-month prison sentence. He received $559,700 in gifts ---- including $240,000 in gift cards.
Two supervisors, Brian Delaney, 55 of La Mesa, and David Lindsay, 57, of San Diego, were sentenced to three years' probation each. Burns said they were not involved in the scheme for as long as the others, although he faulted them for knowing what was going on and not acting to stop it.
Delaney received $50,000 in materials and labor to remodel his home. Lindsay also got $20,000 in home remodeling work and $23,000 in cash.
All four of the workers have resigned, retired or were fired from their jobs after details about the investigation emerged in early 2011. They all worked on an aircraft repair program at the Fleet Readiness Center at North Island Naval Air Station in Coronado.
Prosecutors said that for years the Navy workers would demand gifts from the defense contractors, who obliged by creating false invoices for items such as reamers and other tools needed to do repair work.
In a brazen touch, the bogus invoices contained a 25 percent markup, which was pocketed by the contractors, prosecutors said.
The Navy workers would create a fake work request form to go along with the false invoices. The paperwork was submitted to the U.S. Department of Defense, which would pay the claims.
That means taxpayers were footing the bills for the gifts. They included $3,500 massage chairs, fancy televisions and other electronics.
Three defense contractors each were given 18 months in prison. They are Michael Craven, 43, of Carlsbad, owner of X & D Supply in Carlsbad; John Newman, 51, of Poway, a sales manager and former owner of Poway defense contractor L&N Industrial Tool & Supply; and Paul Grubiss, 39, now of Wickliffe, Ohio, a former sales manager at Centerline Industrial Inc. in Poway.
One by one, all seven defendants addressed Burns and each said they were alternately ashamed and embarrassed. But none said there was a compelling reason behind taking the bribes ---- no family catastrophe or financial mishap. Burns noted they all had good jobs and steady employment. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Huie frankly said the motives for taking the gifts were "inscrutable" and that many of the gifts were "luxury toys" such as fancy bicycles and kitchen appliances.
"The scheme corrupted people at all levels of the organization, including those people who were supposed to serve as checks in the system," he said.
In related action, Joanne Loehr and Robert Ehnow were indicted in August on charges of bribery, money laundering and wire fraud. Loehr, 52, of La Jolla was the owner of Centerline, and Ehnow, 46, of Coronado was the owner of L&N. They have pleaded not guilty.

PREVIOUSLY: "Hey! That's my line!"
"Oh-LOOK!" Linda quipped, "We have our very-own 'Bickersons' here!"
It was quiet in the café—the lunch rush was over when the two strangers walked-in.
"Good afternoon gentlemen," Kiwi Silverthorn greeted, "Coffee?"
"Yes, please—black," the man wearing the Stetson said.
"Me too, but with cream, please," the other man said.
As Kiwi prepared their orders, Hiram engaged them, "You fellows are new in town, what brings you to Danger Bay?"
"We're in the insurance business," Stetson replied, "We specialize in business insurance."
"Interesting," Hiram replied as Kiwi brought them their coffee, "We're well-insured."
"Everyone we meet believes that," Stetson replied, "But we generally are able to convince them otherwise."
Hiram's internal radar informed him that these fellows might just be setting them up.
He was correct.
Season 17—Adventure 10—REVENGE—Episode 12—Scene 1… Inside Silverthorn Café Downtown Danger Bay… "How so?" Hiram asked.
Before they could reply, Chris & Wyatt Earp walked-in, "Too late for lunch?"
"You're right on time," Kiwi replied, "What'll you have?"
"What'll you have?"
"How about a couple of BLTs?" Chris replied.
"Coming right up," Kiwi replied.
Chris looked Stetson and his friend over slowly, "You fellas visiting our little town?"
"Yes," Stetson replied, "We're selling insurance."
"Any luck?" Wyatt asked as he looked each man over slowly and obviously.
"We're working on that," Stetson's now nervous partner replied, smiling.
Both Wyatt and Chris became suspicious.
And it showed.
The two quickly finished their coffees and left Silverthorn's.
Episode 12—Scene 2… Downtown Danger Bay Minnesota… Stetson and his friend didn't get far before Sheriff James Silverthorn pulled them over.
"Gentlemen, may I see your license to sell insurance, please?"
"I must have left mine in the motel," Stetson-wearing man replied.
"Me too," his unnamed partner chimed-in.
"Okay then!" Jimmy replied as another Sheriff's squad arrived—blocking any escape, "Step out of the car, please."
"Okay then!"
When Deputy Sheriff Smithers searched the two, "It seems Sheriff that these fellows not only don't have a sales license—they have no ID whatsoever. But, they each have a handgun."
"You take the one without the Stetson, Deputy Smithers—I get him."
Both lawmen quickly drew their sidearms—and both bad guys raised their hands. They were just smart enough to know they lost this encounter.
"You got it, Jimmy."
And so, it was—another roadblock to Janet Smith's plans.
Inside the Silverthorn Café—Chris & Wyatt Earp smiled very-wide—very wide indeed.
Our story will be Continued…

Top 5 Destinations In Europe Every Senior Couple Must Visit
Most senior people out there have a lot of free time on their hands, and that's not always a good thing. Once they retire from their jobs, older folks simply don't know how to entertain themselves. Single seniors spend their days browsing through various senior dating sites while married couples spend most of their time in front of the TV.
If you're a senior who is happily married and you want to make your retirement a little bit more interesting, you can do that by traveling the world with your spouse. That being said, here are the top 5 destinations in Europe you have to visit with your significant other.
Douro River Cruise, Portugal
If you and your beloved partner want to see a lot of different and beautiful places during one vacation, a boat cruise is probably the best way to achieve that. Douro River Cruise is, without a doubt, one of the best choices in all the Europe.
This magnificent journey begins in Porto, the beautiful city that offers spectacular scenery and great wine and it ends in Spain's Vega de Terron. Along the way, you'll be able to savor breathtaking views, terraced vineyards, and ancient castles, while enjoying a flawless service on the boat. A perfect and peaceful vacation every older couple should experience.
Prague, Czech Republic
The alluring capital of Czech Republic is rich in both history and beauty you have to see in person. With its spectacular architecture, this city is one of the most beautiful and majestic European locations. Besides lovely buildings and bridges, Prague offers fantastic food and delicious beer. So, if you're not into wine and the Mediterranean Sea, Prague is the city for you.
Bruges, Belgium
Another European city that offers a variety of high-quality beers and that alone should be a good enough reason for you to visit it. Joking aside, Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. With many narrow streets, old architecture and canals, Bruges looks like a fairytale town from the medieval times. This is a romantic city, and that's why most people and historians call it the "Venice of the North."
Venice, Italy
Since we mentioned the Venice of the North, it would be a shame not to put the real Venice on our list. This legendary capital of the beautiful northern region Veneto is the perfect destination for every couple out there, regardless of the age or nationality. Venice offers breathtaking scenery and unique architecture. You can travel back in time by taking a gondola ride with your significant other.
Cinque Terre, Italy
If you're looking for a romantic vacation during which you'll be isolated from the rest of the world, Cinque Terre is the perfect spot for you. Hidden between gorgeous mountains and the sea, this rocky and intimate town is one of the most breathtaking places on the Northern coast of Italy. It offers incredible wine, delicious food, and the peaceful atmosphere that will heal your soul.

Freewebs Launches a Widget Bank
Freewebs, the free website creation site, announced its new Widget Bank as an additional set of tools for its users.
The Widget Bank offers unlimited access to thousands of widgets to be added to users sites, without having to copy, cut or paste code. Selected widgets are added directly from the Widget Bank to users' sites, similar to frontpage widget additions, like Netvibes or Pageflakes. Some current widget selections include games, clocks, RSS feed readers, maps, and video players. Freewebs has partnered with companies including YouTube, Widgetbox, RockYou, Miniclip, Gizmoz, Craigslist and more.
The Widget Bank is accessed through the Site Manager, once you've chosen to edit an existing page or create a new page. The Widget Box icon appears in the WYSIWIG editor, along with the other editing tools.
This offering is similar to Facebook's recent Platform release, opening up the community for other networks to create widgets for user integration. Providing the widgets from an on-site directory makes them more accessible for users and easily added to accounts. In a similar concept, Widgetbox offers direct addition of widgets to select social networks with its "Get it Now" feature, and has just announced its new Remote Gallery for providing its widgets for direct access within third party networks.

Bridgeport parties to tap fall candidates
BRIDGEPORT -- Democrats and Republicans on Wednesday will nominate candidates for City Council and Board of Education seats for the fall campaign, an election cycle expected to be relatively quiet since there will be no mayoral candidates at the top of the ballot.
Only the city's majority Democrats, who outnumber Republicans 6-1, appear to have the makings of a fight on their hands as five candidates vie for three Board of Education seats. The nominations in at least one council district appear to be in flux, and a primary will likely be needed.
Republicans, who currently hold no seats on the 20-member council, are expected to nominate candidates for most of the seats and the three BOE seats to be contested in the fall. No primaries for GOP seats are anticipated.
The Democratic Town Committee is scheduled to hold its nominating convention at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Testo's Restaurant on Madison Avenue. The Republican Town Committee will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Smolen's Catering on Huntington Turnpike.
Bridgeport mayors now serve four-year terms, and Bill Finch, the Democratic incumbent, is at the mid-point of his first term this year.
"It's kind of boring," said Dan Roach, a longtime DTC district leader, referring to this year's political races.
Still, Democrats are facing a challenge with its school board nominations, pitting veteran incumbent Bobby Simmons and four others in a contest for three nominations. Simmons is expected to secure a party nomination, leaving four others to vie for the two remaining slots.
Others Democrats seeking school board seats are Carmen Lopez, a former Superior Court judge; Patrick Crossin and Keith Rodgerson, both former members of the City Council; and Leticia Colon, a current member of the council.
Roach said Crossin appears to have a leg up on the party endorsement, but added it's unclear who might prevail among Lopez, Colon and Rodgerson.
On the council side, Andrew Fardy, a former parks commissioner, is challenging City Council member Robert Curwen and Richard Paoletto for one of the seats in the 138th District. Fardy is not expected to receive the party endorsement, and may wage a primary for one of the district's two seats on the legislative body.
The town committee is not expected to endorse incumbent council members Daniel Matinez and Marie Valle in the 137th District. Lydia Martinez, a former state legislator, is emerging as a possible candidate in that district, while Valle appears ready to orchestrate a primary challenge to retain her seat.
Paul Boucher, who works in the city's zoning office and serves on the DTC, is considered a possible replacement for Colon, should she secure a school board nomination.
Marc Delmonico, the RTC chairman, said he hopes to field candidates in most of the upcoming races.
"We sent out fliers to every Republican who voted in the last election. Hopefully, that will get them off their couches. We are going to make a strong push to have candidates for every race," he said.

Meridian Audio's booth at the 2005 Electronic House Expo in Anaheim, California this past weekend, showcased the ultimate in luxury home entertainment: a Meridian Digital Theater. Show attendees who voted for the Best of Demo Alley (BODA) awards agreed – this demonstration took home all six BODA awards including: Best Audio Demo Experience, Best Video Demo Experience, Most Informative Audio Demonstration, Most Informative Video Demonstration, Most Entertaining Presentation, and Best Overall Demonstration.
"The voice of EHX attendees was clearly heard as they overwhelmingly chose the Meridian and Transparent demonstrations as the Best of Demo Alley," says CE Pro senior editor Bob Archer. "This shows that these companies are living up to their performance reputations by delivering convincing product demonstrations to dealers and consumers."
The system shown at the EH Expo included Meridian's popular digital loudspeakers featuring their unique DSP (Digital Signal Processing) system and Transparent Cable as its wire partner. The system configuration included the DSP7000s at the front, DSP5200s for side channels, and DSP5500s in the rear. A digital signal was fed to each loudspeaker – in this case from a G68 Digital Surround Processor. Inside each speaker cabinet is a powerful crossover implemented entirely in the digital domain, permitting parameters and performance that are simply impossible with conventional passive designs. The crossover outputs are fed to individual precision digital to analog converters per band, and these each drive their own power amplifier, which is coupled directly to the drivers. The result is an elegant self-contained unit that sounds as good as it looks. In addition, the demo system featured a SW5500 analog/digital subwoofer, optimized for both music and movie soundtracks, making it an ideal companion to the system.
The loudspeakers were driven by a G68 surround processor, which decodes surround audio signals in the vast majority of current formats including Dolby Digital and DTS. It, in turn, was fed by a G98 DVD-Audio/Video player, which can play back almost any PCM-format disc including CD, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and the DVD side of a DualDisc.
The digital video signal from the G98 was fed via its HDMI output to a Faroudja DVP1080 Digital Video Processor. This accepts a wide range of analog and digital video formats and delivers full-bandwidth High Definition processing, optimizing current advanced 1920x1080p digital displays by converting 1080i interlaced HD video and other formats to a clean, 1080p progressive output.
Full High Definition cross-conversion and Standard Definition processing are included, with patented technology for de-interlacing, motion tracking, color fidelity and image detail enhancement, making the DVP1080 an essential central video component of any high-performance theater. All types of displays benefit from this processing, including plasma, DLP, LCD, DILA and CRT-based devices. US retail price is $6,995.
The DVP1080 drove a Faroudja DILA1080pHD Digital Projector, which utilizes three 1920x1080p DILA-based display chips. With a native resolution equal to full bandwidth High Definition, all the beauty and drama of the original source are reproduced with stunning accuracy. Each projector is Theater Optimized by video expert William Phelps, using proprietary firmware and optical equipment to offer a contrast ratio of 2100:1, excellent shadow detail and film-accurate color.
The Faroudja projector can be driven directly by an HDMI-equipped Meridian DVD player. Alternatively, the DVP1080 HD Digital Video Processor can be used to convert all analog and digital high definition and standard definition sources to the native 1920x1080p resolution of the projector. The DILA1080pHD retails for $29,995.

Yankees watch: Jeter putting on the hits
PUTTING ON THE HITS -- While Alex Rodriguez is having the kind of postseason long expected of him, Derek Jeter is doing what he's done most postseasons since his first in 1996 -- produce.
Jeter has six hits, including two home runs, and 12 total bases in the first four games of the ALCS after going 4-for-10, including a homer, in three games in the ALDS.
"You just try to treat it like any other game, that's what I try to do," Jeter said of his postseason success. "Doesn't mean you're always going to succeed, but I think a lot of times you can try to do too much or make it seem like it's bigger than it really is. In the end the consequences are bigger, but it's still baseball."
DEFENSE FIRST -- Mark Teixeira's defense is nearly as valuable to the Yankees as his bat.
The first baseman credits his father for teaching him the finer points as a kid, including fielding lots of grounders.
"My dad always stressed the importance of defense," Teixeira said. "As I've gotten into the big leagues, I've realized it's even more important."
Teixeira's bat has been quiet against the Angels in the ALCS, but his defense is being talked about.
"Without Tex, we wouldn't be here," pitcher CC Sabathia said. "Not just because he hit 39 homers, but just his glove. Some of the plays he makes, he saves everybody. I didn't realize he was as good a player as he is."
Teixeira has given the Yankees an upgrade at first base in his first season in New York over Jason Giambi, who was more lumbering than nimble at the position.
EXTRA BASES -- Sabathia wasn't looking ahead, but he smiled when asked about a potential World Series Game 1 matchup between himself and former Indians teammate Cliff Lee, now with the Phillies. Sabathia, a standout high school athlete who has never made secret his love of hitting, said he would look even more forward to a meeting in Philadelphia. "I want to hit off him," Sabathia said with a laugh ... Brett Tomko, designated for assignment by the Yankees in late July and subsequently signed by the A's, spent time in the clubhouse before the workout, talking amicably with manager Joe Girardi, GM Brian Cashman and many of his former teammates. Tomko's right arm, which helped beat the Yankees, 3-0, Aug. 17 in Oakland, was in a sling, the result of a nerve condition.
UP NEXT -- ALCS Game 5 at Los Angeles Angels tonight, 7:57 (Ch. 5, 61). A.J. Burnett (0-0, 2.19) vs. John Lackey (1-1, 1.38).

Bella decided instead of putting her rose in water, she'd rather play with it all night! Ha!
My Wonderful Husband
May 6, 2010
On Monday, I had such a bad day at work. I just visably upset, & Eric knew it. He decided to cheer me up by bringing Bella & I a rose each home! I rarely get flowers so it was really special to me! Here are some pictures once we got our flowers. Enjoy...
1 comment
That was really sweet of Eric! To answer your question, I still work at Baylor Irving. I can't believe Bella has a dress with that flowery pattern... so does Kynli!!! It's a halter dress that she will be able to fit into in a few months. I LOVE it, and the pattern is so adorable... that's why I had my friend make a blanket out of it! = )ReplyDelete

I recently got asked how to be successful on LinkedIn, here's my latest blog on how to generate new connections and sales leads – comments welcome
LinkedIn is a bit of a science. It's much like your Facebook wall if you want it to be, full of ads and meaningless posts by people you don't know every well. However with a bit of thought (and time) you can narrow the scopes and set a strategy that will bear fruits for things like lead generation, referrals, personal status and brand awareness.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail
When I first started out using LinkedIn it was just like Facebook – "Look Mum I have a 100 connections!" – Quantity over quality. After a while I realised that simply connecting to people wasn't really doing me any favours, in fact I was burning time in my valuable week sifting through irrelevant posts endlessly.
More recently, I started an online business. It's a digital news publication and so I thought social media would be the best way of getting me started and spreading the word about my new business. I chose LinkedIn as my major and so off I went researching how I could best use this huge social networking platform for business. Here's what I learnt…
- Start with WHY? – make sure you have purpose. Sounds simple but what exactly are you trying to achieve?
- Clear the decks – disconnect from people if they post trash, be brutal. LinkedIn is not Facebook, it's a professional social networking platform for business people and you don't want unnecessary noise on your feed.
- Sort your profile page – your profile page is not a brag page, don't be a jerk and boast about awards, certificates and possessions you have. Be cool. This is a really crucial point.
- Choose a friendly Headline – having Sales Person, Business Development or Recruiter in your title is likely to put people off.. be an educator, thought leader or someone that wants to help others before themselves..
- WHO is your target audience? – what industry, location, interests, skills to they belong to?
- Start with small buckets – choose a small audience to start that fit a certain criteria e.g interest, job role
- Isolate keywords and hashtags – what is your audience searching for? If you have identified what your target audience are interested in then matching up keywords is easy.. you could use Google's Keyword Tool if you're struggling.
- Collect, curate and share – use something like Feedly to monitor Google News and specific RSS feeds. It provides a free edition that will give you a simple to use dashboard (Mobile App and Desktop Browser). Find interesting news posts, read them and share them on LinkedIn on a regular basis.
- Don't just share a link – when sharing interesting articles and stories put your own spin on it. People respond to that personal touch! If you're struggling, copy and paste an interesting snippet of text from the article.
- Hashtags rule – Recently LinkedIn stepped up their game when it comes to hashtags. Make sure your hashtags are relevant and don't over do it. 3 keywords is normally more than enough.
- Visual content – we buy with our eyes before anything else. If you want to grab the attention of others (especially amongst the noise of social feeds) make sure your chosen image or the one being posted from your shared link appeals to the eye.
- Tagging people – very very very powerful. When you tag others (people and companies) you'll be amazed how much better the results will be. When you tag someone they receive an instant alert. If it's good you'll get a like or comment, possibly even a share! LinkedIn prioritises posts that get engagement over lonely posts with low or zero engagement.
- Video rocks – LinkedIn (as of 2018) is prioritising video over static content. If you can find a good video on YouTube, download it (using a YouTube ripping tool) and then re-upload it to LinkedIn, you'll get results. Reference the source, it's best practice and will avoid the originator telling you off.
- Engage with others – it's a life rule, givers gain! I heard it once in a BNI networking group and I live by it. If you like, comment, share other people's posts on social media they'll reciprocate.
- Opinion – don't be a social hand grenade and don't be too quiet either. Find some balance, make constructive, well-thought-out comments and you'll see the difference.
- Routine – bake LinkedIn into your routine and make it a daily habit. Whether it's 15 minutes a day or 2 hours a day, make sure you are consistent. Too many people go big guns to soon and then burn out within a few days or weeks. Winners develop habits and stick to them.
- Less is more – start small. Choose one keyword, share something a couple of times per day and do some liking and commenting.
- Connect with people and follow companies – One you have a good solid profile page and a healthy feed of posts and activity, start connecting to the people that match your criteria.
- Add a note – don't just connect, add a personal note. State why you're connecting with them. If your intentions are to sell to them, probably best not to say 'Hey I want to sell you something!'. Test a few things, find out what works and stick to your winning formula.
- Messaging connections – Sending messages on LinkedIn is a bit like email spam. Be respectful of your connections, don't send them salesy messages. Be cool, do your background on the person and company and politely request to talk to them. The foundation of good prospecting skills is to start with WHY. Figure out what your prospect might need, identify the challenge and provide a solution.
- Enjoy it – social selling is fun, low cost and can be much more powerful than cold calling or email marketing. Shotgun marketing sucks, sniper your targets, engage with them properly and you'll be just fine.
Being successful at social selling requires patience, hard work, dedication and persistence. Focus your mind and make it a daily habit and you'll be amazed how fruitful it can be. If something doesn't work, try again. Find yourself a winning formula and stick at it.

is an option for the low-level function ButtonBox that specifies the minimum total height in units of font size that should be allowed for the button.
- The default setting ButtonMinHeight->1 forces a button to have a total height that at least accommodates all the characters in the current font.
- ButtonMinHeight->0 reduces the total height of a button as much as possible, allowing buttons containing characters such as x and X to be different heights.

Trail cams have become very popular and are used primarily by hunters but by nature lovers too. If you want to track an animal or just see what comes by at night then set up a trail cam that snaps photos whenever it detects movement.
Most of the time you won't catch anything too interest, but every once in a while you will capture something so crazy it will blow you away.
Here are the rare instances when these trail cams caught something that was truly unbelievable. Some are scary, some are amazing and some are hilarious. Come check out some truly amazing real life photos that were captured by trail cams.

Sitting here in the garden, I look to all we have done together.
All the creations, the paintings, the crafts.
10 years of Shiva Garden, almost 7 with us together.
Shiva Garden is a place for Creators.
It's a place for Free Souls.
It's the place for the so named "crazy ones". The ones who dare to be different.
This is the last night.
I leave this place with a nostalgic feeling, some rivers of tears, but in peace.
I leave this relationship which has served his purpose.
Together we built up what today is the Shiva Garden Home Stay, as it is.
Together we had raised these two little Angels who had given us the honor of being their parents.
Within this relationship I came to know about my co-dependency.
And to find out this and being able to heal myself from it it's a hole and profound Life Changing process.
Here I had the safe space to built up from zero my project, my vision, the soniaindigo.com.
Today, nothing is left. My heart is is empty, bleeding. My eyes are full…of tears. My head is at peace.
Within 2 days, on the 11th January will make exactly 8 years that our story started, back in 2010 and 6 years that I followed my heart, left everything in Portugal and I arrived here to live with him.
There is a silent mutual inner knowing and agreement that our Soul's pact is done, accomplished.
Its time to move forward.
And we are moving, without straights, pushed by a gentle giant Hand. The God's Hand.
Our bodies separate from each other, but I know, our Soul's will keep on walking together, hand on hand.
I cry alone, grieving, not only the end of this 6 years relationship, but the end of a 40 years cycle of letting myself being neglected, abused, manipulated, used for the other ones purpose, during childhood, in professional and personal relationships.
I cry alone in the night, writing these words knowing them to be True.
Thank you for awakening me from a 40 years dream. The pain lived in silence in this relationship was so deep that it gave me no chance than Awakening.
More than a spiritual awakening, this is the Real One. raising myself from a 40 years cycle of illusion of something I Was Not meant to be: A people-pleaser.
I undress myself from masks, leaving my body naked, my feet barefoot, to be no longer the "nice one".
I leave now my body naked, my soul undressed, for the Goddess to dress me with the real ME. That of what I was made from before I born.
Remembering those words that God whispered me a few seconds before I came down to this Planet Earth:
"You Are Here To Create.
You Are Here to tell them that is all wrong.
That this society as we know it, is rotten. Full of hypocrisies, lies and dysfunctional environments for child's to grow. That the human beings forgot to be Humans long time ago.
It's time to make a new US, a new Present, a new Earth.
This is the starting point. From where All The Rest Will Unfold.
Walking together in separate roads.
With gratitude,
Dedicated to Jayan and our little Daughters Divya and Nithya.

Hi Eric, You've already made a great start in creating the illusion of distance: maximum detail and contrast in the foreground, diminishing in the mid- and backgrounds. I think you need to keep your foreground and 'near-midground' warm, but start cooling things down in the middle line of hills, and really cool and pale down your distant hills. Nice work.
He's right... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_perspective
My apologies, I meant 'She's right'.
Because I was focusing on your question, I neglected to mention how wonderful your crows and wood posts are. Kudos.
Thanks for the help Laurel.
Perhaps something in the background that you know the scale of. Right now your perspective is mostly atmospheric.
Good idea Ray, I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future.
Nice crows! Lower the mid background chroma and raise the overall mid background value slightly.
hello Eric....these crows are so realistic and they measure up with the rendering of the fence pole. The background seems to become sketchy though...perhaps it needs more definition with line and color instead of the white haze which does no justice to the masterly rendition of the crows. It gives the impression that you have painted on top of a photograph...man, those crows are so good...in essence too.
"The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci", Volume 1 covers this issue plus many others for painting.
yes , by using a bigger brush stroke or size of brush as objects apear closer to the view. Kind of a 3D effect. It may not apply to this type of painting. I like the painting as it sits now.
In the case of a picture like this [with objects in the near foreground, and the rest at some distance] it would probably help to "detach' the foreground from the background as much as possible. The darker, blue shadows next to the left hand crow's beak and body are "pulling" it to the background, and it would be a help to remove them. Also, the dark shadows on the right side of the picture are a hindrance - dragging your eye there and reinforcing the horizontal nature of the background, and not the vertical nature of the birds and pole shadows - you can check this by covering it up with your finger. Lightening the background a little where it contacts the foreground objects is also an effective way to get some distance into the picture. As to the question of fading detail with distance - the eye, unlike the camera, has no depth of field problems, so I would think that the viewing would be quite detailed for a considerable distance in this kind of landscape and would add more detail - especially in the nearer background at the bottom of the picture. This is all intended to be constructive criticism, and I hope it has been some help. It takes courage to put your out for critique.

As women, we believe it is important to share a blog series, focusing specifically on women's cyber safety while they use the internet for social and commercial activities, highlighting the dangers of using this medium and providing tips to ensure online safety. This is the first part of the three-part blog series guiding women on social networking and the possible risks associated, providing a few precautionary steps to follow, though not exhaustive.
The internet to the modern women is akin to the purse she carries, indispensable. She uses the internet to interact with friends and family, shop and bank, in that order. A recent survey by comScore revealed that women dominate the usage of social networking sites and wield the social networking portals as an empowering tool to connect across boundaries and to successfully build e-commerce businesses.
Unfortunately the freedom of the internet also helps cyber criminals and online miscreants to connect with you quite easily. Social networking users should be vigilant about the kind of information they share online and the crowd with which they interact. Often women overlook the potential dangers of social networking sites. A simple socially engineered chat message with a malicious URL or a wall post of a "video link" especially of a cute baby/shopping offer could attract many victims to silently seed malware into their computer, as witnessed in the case of the Microsoft Windows worm Koobface. This allows hackers to either gather the user's personal information or infect the computer.
With the stolen valuable information, miscreants can potentially cause distress to a user, especially to women and children.
One should also be keenly aware that photos shared on these social networking portals are viewable by even unintended audiences and can be morphed and redistributed without one's consent. Young women tend to be the most likely targets of online harassment such as cyberbullying, trolling, stalking and death threats. This harassment gets even more dangerous if it manifests itself in real life. Even in the virtual world, targeted online harassment has the potential to cause severe mental trauma.
In order to curb such online threat issues, the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) educates internet users about safe surfing, helps the public report online abuse, and offers recovery procedures.
Here are some simple tips to make women more social networking wise:
- Never disclose sensitive information such as date of birth, location, phone number, address, etc.,
- Incorporate privacy and security settings offered on social networking sites
- Beware of clicking on links and opening messages from unknown sources
- Think twice about accepting requests to connect from strangers
- Secure your computer with a good antivirus solution

Food safety is high on the priority list of consumers, regulatory agencies, and industry stakeholders owing to the increasing health and safety risks posed by microbiological, chemical, and environmental contaminants in food products. This emergence of new safety issues has compelled companies to establish as well as upgrade their food safety and testing programs and come up with innovative analytical approaches in response to these challenges.
Food manufacturing companies are also driven to deploying more rigorous method-validation standards in the face of changing and much stricter regulations. Difficult-to-detect food contaminants are now being spotted with higher sensitivity testing methods and companies are working on bringing down the incidence of product recalls. Smartphone apps are also being launched to assist in testing for food allergens in restaurants and at home.
Persistence Market Research recognizes the efforts of diagnostic testing companies and research laboratories and strives to address the host of prevalent issues of concern that plague the food and beverages sector.

The AP reports: C.J. Miles scored a career-high 29 points and the Utah Jazz set a team record with 15 3-pointers in a 129-87 rout of the short-handed Washington Wizards on Monday night. Deron Williams had 12 points and 16 assists, despite resting most of the fourth quarter, and Mehmet Okur returned from a stomach virus with 16 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Carlos Boozer added 19 points and Kyle Korver scored 15, making all six of his shots. Utah outrebounded Washington 40-23, had 40 assists on 50 field goals and shot almost 60 percent (50-for-84)… They were also resting Caron Butler's strained left hamstring instead of playing him back-to-back nights. Antawn Jamison led Washington with 22 points.
Month: March 2008
Melo and Martin feeding off each other
I'm watching the Suns and Nuggets, and several plays in a row now Carmelo Anthony has gotten the ball around the right elbow, with Kenyon Martin around the free throw line. And when Melo got double-teamed, Martin immediately cut to the rim, caught a feed from Melo, and scored.
But now, for a play or two in a row, the Suns aren't doubling Melo, and backed off of Martin, letting him shoot from just outside the free throw line instead of slashing at the rim, and it's worked for Phoenix.
Mar. 31: Hawks 116, Grizzlies 99
The AP reports: Josh Smith had 26 points, eight rebounds and six assists as the Atlanta Hawks built an early lead before and beat the Memphis Grizzlies 116-99 on Monday night. Atlanta led by 38 in the third quarter and seemed to be coasting to the victory. However, Memphis opened the fourth with 13 consecutive points, part of a 23-4 run that made the game more interesting, and forced Atlanta to put its starters back in the game… Al Horford and Joe Johnson scored 19 points apiece for Atlanta, and Mike Bibby had 17, Josh Childress 14 and Marvin Williams 12. Johnson also had eight assists and Bibby seven. Smith shot 11-of-13 from the field, part of Atlanta's 56 percent effort on the night. Rudy Gay led Memphis with 29 points, while Juan Carlos Navarro and Kyle Lowry finished with 17 each.
Mar. 31: Pacers 105, Heat 85
The AP reports: Jermaine O'Neal scored nine points after sitting out for more than two months with a knee injury, and the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat 105-85 on Monday night. O'Neal shot 3-for-4 from the field and 3-for-4 from the free-throw line in 18 minutes. He had missed 33 straight games with a bone bruise, and the Pacers went 12-21 during that stretch. Danny Granger led Indiana with 23 points and Mike Dunleavy added 18 as the Pacers won their second straight and their sixth of eight to remain contenders for an Eastern Conference playoff spot. Indiana entered the game three games behind Atlanta for eighth place in the East. Daequan Cook led Miami with 16 points and Kasib Powell and Chris Quinn both scored 15.
Mar. 31: Raptors 104, Bobcats 100
The AP reports: Chris Bosh scored 32 points and the Toronto Raptors remained alone in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a 104-100 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday night. Bosh hit 13 of 16 free throws and added eight rebounds and five assists for the Raptors, who won for the third time in four games to pull a game ahead of idle Philadelphia in the playoff race… Anthony Parker added 20 points and T.J. Ford added 15, including the clinching free throw with 1.9 seconds left for the Raptors, who bounced back from a home loss to New Orleans on Sunday. Jason Richardson scored 18 of his 26 points in the first half, Gerald Wallace scored 20 points and Emeka Okafor had 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Bobcats, whose faint playoff hopes took a hit.
Heat sign Blake Ahearn and Stephane Lasme to second 10-day contracts
The Miami HEAT announced today that they have signed guard Blake Ahearn and forward Stephane Lasme to second 10-day contracts. Per team policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Ahearn, a 6'2", 190-pound guard, has appeared in six games for the HEAT averaging 5.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.0 minutes of action. He scored a career-high 15 points at Detroit on 3/27 and his 94.7 percent (18-of-19) from the free throw line currently leads the team.
Lasme, a 6'8", 215-pound forward, has appeared in six games for the HEAT averaging 5.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.00 blocks and 1.00 steals in 21.5 minutes of action. He blocked a career-high three shots on two occasions and has recorded 12 blocks in his six games with the HEAT.
J-Rich and Melo win Player of Week
The Charlotte Bobcats' Jason Richardson and the Denver Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony today were named the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Monday, March 24, through Sunday, March 30. More info here.
J-Rich is playing well but it's too little, too late for the Bobcats, who need a miracle to make the playoffs and may be having issues with head coach Sam Vincent, who several newspapers recently reported may not be kept around next season.
As for Melo, all recent talk was that they might miss the playoffs, as they were sitting in 9th place in the West for a while, but as of today they've jumped up to 7th, but only by virtue of a tie-breaker with the Mavericks and Warriors. I think Denver may stay in there.
Anyway, the Western conference playoff race is awesome. Even if you're a fan of an East squad, watch the West closely, because that's where it's at.
Spain: Ricky Rubio may play in Olympics
Fiba.com reports: Spanish backcourt phenom Ricky Rubio is almost certain to be headed to the world champions' pre-Olympic training camp with a chance of making the team for the Beijing Games as a back-up point guard. Pepu Hernandez, the Spain coach, indicated earlier this season that the DKV Joventut star would join up with the senior squad and that likelihood has become even stronger with Rubio enjoying an outstanding campaign with his club.
Wolves learning to compete in fourth quarter
The Minneapolis Star Tribune (Jerry Zgoda) reports: The Wolves lost eight of the first 13 times they led going into the fourth quarter this season. They now have won the past four games in which they led after three quarters and are 10-4 in that category since winning at Golden State on Jan. 21, the demarcation line in a season they started 5-34. "We've grown up," Wolves center Al Jefferson said. They won seven games in March, are 14-19 since that Jan. 21 game, and Sunday's victory was their second over the Jazz at home in five weeks. "We're getting better and better," Jefferson said. "To win like this two times in a row over them at home says a lot."
Mar. 30: Lakers 126, Wizards 120 OT
For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant (just 7-of-24) had 26 points and 13 assists, Sasha Vujacuc (6-of-9, including 6-of-8 three-pointers) had 20, Vladimir Radmanovic (7-of-11, including 4-of-7 threes) had 18, and Derek Fisher (6-of-12, including 3-of-6 threes) scored 17.
For the Wizards, DeShawn Stevenson (9-of-15, including 8-of-12 three-pointers) had 27, Nick Young (10-of-16, including 3-of-4 threes) had 27, Caron Butler (6-of-17) had an awesome 17 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 steals, and Antawn Jamison (6-of-15) had 19 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. The two teams combined for 31-of-57 from three-point range.

Examine the pros and cons of medication to treat obesity.
Are you an adult who is overweight or obese and has serious health problems because of your weight? Have you tried diet and exercise but haven't been able to achieve significant weight loss? If you answered yes to these questions, then a prescription weight-loss drug might be an option for you.
You should know, however, that prescription weight-loss drugs are used in addition to — not instead of — diet and exercise.
Your doctor may consider weight-loss drugs for you if you haven't been able to lose weight through diet and exercise and you meet one of the following:
Before selecting a medication for you, your doctor will consider your health history, possible drug side effects and potential interactions with medications you're already taking.
It's important to note, however, that weight-loss drugs aren't for everyone. For example, prescription weight-loss drugs shouldn't be used by women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant or women who are breast-feeding.
All prescription weight-loss drugs approved for long-term use produce significant weight loss compared with placebo. In addition, studies show that the addition of weight-loss medication to lifestyle changes results in greater weight loss than lifestyle changes alone produce.
Over the course of 12 months, that can mean a weight loss of 3 to 7 percent of total body weight beyond that achieved with lifestyle changes alone. That may seem like a modest amount, but sustained weight loss of 5 to 10 percent of total body weight can have health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, blood sugar and triglyceride levels.
Mild side effects, such as nausea, constipation or diarrhea, are common, but may lessen over time. Rarely, serious side effects can occur. For this reason, it's important to thoroughly discuss medication options with your doctor.
Weight-loss drugs can be expensive and are not always paid for by insurance. Check with your insurance company to learn about coverage for each medication option.
How long you will need to take weight-loss medication depends on whether the drug helps you lose weight and whether you have any side effects. If you have lost enough weight to improve your health and aren't having serious side effects, your doctor may suggest that you stay on the medication indefinitely.
If you don't lose at least 5 percent of your body weight after 12 weeks on the full dose of your medication, your doctor will probably change your treatment plan or consider using a different weight-loss medication.
After stopping weight-loss medication, many people gain back some of the weight they lost. However, adopting healthy lifestyle habits may help limit weight gain.
Four prescription weight-loss drugs are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for long-term use: bupropion-naltrexone (Contrave), liraglutide (Saxenda), orlistat (Xenical) and phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia).
Most prescription weight-loss drugs work by decreasing appetite or increasing feelings of fullness, and some do both. The exception is orlistat, which works by interfering with absorption of fat.
Bupropion-naltrexone is a combination drug. Naltrexone is used to treat alcohol and opioid dependence. Bupropion is an antidepressant and quit-smoking aid. Like all antidepressants, bupropion carries a warning about suicide risk. Bupropion-naltrexone can raise blood pressure, and monitoring is necessary at the start of treatment. Common side effects include nausea, headache and constipation.
Liraglutide is also used to manage diabetes. Unlike other weight-loss drugs, liraglutide is administered by injection. Nausea is a common complaint, and vomiting may limit its use.
Orlistat can cause bothersome gastrointestinal side effects, such as flatulence and loose stools. It's necessary to follow a low-fat diet when taking this medication. Orlistat is also available in a reduced-strength form without a prescription (Alli). Rare cases of serious liver injury have been reported. However, no cause-and-effect relationship has been established.
Phentermine-topiramate is a combination of an anticonvulsant (topiramate) and a weight-loss drug (phentermine). Phentermine has the potential to be abused because of its amphetamine-like effects. Other possible side effects include an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, insomnia, constipation and nervousness. Topiramate increases the risk of birth defects.
Phentermine as a single agent (Adipex-P) is also used for weight loss. It's one of four weight-loss drugs approved for short-term use (less than 12 weeks). This group of drugs isn't widely prescribed because of the limited duration of use, side effects and potential for abuse. The exception is phentermine. It's commonly prescribed and the actual rate of abuse appears to be low.
Weight-loss drugs aren't an easy answer to weight loss, but they can be a tool to help you adopt the lifestyle changes you need to lose weight and improve your health.

Through no fault of their own, a child suffers sexual abuse or rape, at the hands of a person in a position of power or authority over them. This is the darkest, most painful, frightening and confusing time of the child's life.
When the sexual trauma ends, at whatever age, the victim is now a survivor. They cope the best way they can with the broken emotional tools and fractured life skills they now possess.
When a survivor reveals to a trusted confidante or counselor the rape they suffered and seeks help for the pain, they shed all shame, they hope and dream again, and they see a viable future for their lives despite the past, they are now Victors.
Once a Victor is empowered and motivated to see that no other child is subjected to the same trauma, they take action and become an Advocate.
No matter where you are on your path to Victor, we believe you.
In Canada there are many non-profit organizations working day in and day out to raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse and rape, advocate for change and provide healing. We have found that most are chronically under-funded and unknown.
The Victor Movement was created to raise awareness for, and heal those who have been devastated by childhood rape, to that end the Victor Movement is a social good company focused on business endeavours that will create revenue to give to those chronically underfunded non-profit groups. We don't believe Canada needs another charity, it needs companies and people who will create platforms to make money and give where needed in the world.
The Victor Movement has chosen one main organization to work with and donate to: the Breaking Free Foundation. Together we can make a difference.
