Nesting bowls feed my urge to both stack things up in neat piles and have pretty places to put all the random bits of life. Nothing else looks quite as good both in use and when empty. Here a roundup of some of my favorites from Etsy:

Staying Connected February 2016
There has been much talk lately about the issue of the digital divide and equity. Recently, The New York Times published an article, Bridging a Digital Divide That Leaves Schoolchildren Behind, about how some school children are being left behind due to their lack of access to internet at home, which is needed to complete assignments. Kids are forced to stand outside school buildings in the dark on their electronic devices in order to have access to Wi-Fi or find other places outside of their homes to work.
This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed, but I am troubled that often the solution to technology issues such as these is to buy more technology, or in this case, buy broadband for the home. The problem is that it's creating an endless cycle. Today's technology will be outdated in a few years. Broadband will be considered yesterday's dial-up in the near future. Today's inkjet printers–which printer ink is an expensive item for many families–will be replaced by 3D printers. To introduce children to these advances is a necessity in school, but should not be pushed on families at home.View the PDF

Squad news
14 Sep 2018
The coach explained the strategy for the game and, together with the players, they felt sorry for not seizing the good second half of the team.
Coach Natxo González was accepting that each team dominated one half, I believe we didnt find the game and space in the first half, maybe for been afraid. There was no progression. Meanwhile, Zaragoza, besides taking the advantage early in the game, found depth and their attacks were more vertical. We met a situation that we didnt live before: to be behind in the score. Soon in the second part they scored the second and we had a good reaction, which was important. We wasted several minutes, but also reacted to a situation that we didnt live before.
We were wrong in the first half, we wanted to have the ball, but didnt move forward. We lost order with the passage of the minutes, and I believe we were better with the corrections made in the second half. We allowed two goals, but we knew how to react to a new situation. He added.
Later he was feeing sorry as the Copa is a competition that help to distribute minutes among the players, This competition is useful to see all the players having opportunities and minutes, since that point it is a new defensive line and we can extract some good things from the game.
Natxo was also explaining the motive why Mosquera was playing delayed on the field, The idea is to have three centre-backs and later have the ball possession, because the rival tries to leave players in delicate offensive positions, so you needed someone to make the covers. And in some plays, when we were attacking, he was back in the middle.
Víctor García debuted with the first team, he was commenting the game, It was hard for us to enter into the game after the first minutes, because the goal hammered us, but the team reacted, and later the goal of Cartabia and the reaction had in the second half helped us to be close to tie the game. We were hopeful, but we were surprised by their early goal.
The winger explained how he lived the opportunity to make his professional debut, Things went fast. The day before yesterday, I was resting at home after traveling to Madrid, and then they phoned me to train with the first team. It was a big surprise and I didnt expect for this. There are many good players at the squad ad it was surprising to see that I was the one called up.
Pedro Mosquera was explaining his position on the field, When they had the ball, we were making the output of the ball with three players and they had a formation that was good for us. We had the ball and we missed depth in the first half. In the end it was a game in which the players without minutes performed. It was a pity to not score the equalizer as we had chances for it.
The midfielder was saying that Depor must now focus in la liga, We now must focus in liga, we must prepare the game in Alcorcón and be ready for it. We are aware that all the games are complicated, but we havent lost in liga and want to continue in the same road.
At Real Zaragoza, Imanol Idiakez was satisfied with the result, but also admitted that his team suffered, It was a great match, we were more effective than Deportivo and must valorize the rival that was in front of us. The attitude was great, these people are working at the top and this is good news for Real Zaragoza. The team knew how to suffer in this game, until now we never spent so many time running after the ball.

Despite its paramount importance, in one way fitness is just like any other pursuit in our modern world. There's a lot of "stuff" you may need acquire (and "toys" you want to).
You can spend a lot here. Think: multi-thousand-dollar bike…expensive home-gym equipment…membership at high-end gyms or studios…personal trainer…performance nutrition products. And depending on your situation, man, these things may well be worth it…much more so than other areas of discretionary spending in your life.
But a small number of things – not that expensive – will go a long way to setting you up with what you really need. Things you'll use every week, and which do their job very well for a modest cost. A growing list of these things (products, as well as "services" like gyms, studios and online fitness programs) are featured on OlderBeast's Recommended Products page.
Here are nine of my favorites – things I SWEAR by, and which will be great for most guys.

f Imported Dengue Infection in a Spanish Hospital with a High Proportion of Travelers from Africa: A 9-Year Retrospective Study
Epidemiological data on dengue in Africa are still scarce. We investigated imported dengue infection among travelers with a high proportion of subjects from Africa over a 9-year period. From January 2005 to December 2013, blood samples from travelers with clinical suspicion of dengue were analyzed. Dengue was diagnosed using serological, antigen detection, and molecular methods. Subjects were classified according to birthplace (Europeans versus non-Europeans) and last country visited. Overall, 10,307 serum samples corresponding to 8,295 patients were studied; 62% were European travelers, most of them from Spain, and 35.9% were non-Europeans, the majority of whom were born in Africa (mainly Equatorial Guinea) and Latin America (mainly Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia). A total of 492 cases of dengue were identified, the highest number of cases corresponding to subjects who had traveled from Africa (N = 189), followed by Latin America (N = 174) and Asia (N = 113). The rate of cases for Africa (4.5%) was inferior to Asia (9%) and Latin America (6.1%). Three peaks of dengue were found (2007, 2010, and 2013) which correlated with African cases. A total of 2,157 of past dengue infections were diagnosed. Non-Europeans who had traveled from Africa had the highest rate of past infection (67.8%), compared with non-Europeans traveling from Latin America (38.7%) or Asia (35%). Dengue infection in certain regions of Africa is underreported and the burden of the disease may have a magnitude similar to endemic countries in Latin America. It is necessary to consider dengue in the differential diagnosis of other febrile diseases in Africa.

Foss Grim ~ means "river horse" in Old Norse. The Foss Grim is a water spirit, with the body of a man and not that of a merman. He is said to be strikingly handsome, seen near rivers and bodies or water, barely clothed, and playing haunting music from his violin. His music would lure Women and Children into his watery home and their final resting place. However, it is believed that if properly approached, the Foss Grim will teach a musician to play so adeptly "that the trees dance and waterfalls stop at his music"Underwater photography by Anastasia Traina ~ 2015~

A very touching love story that is sure to move anyone who reads it is that of Pyramus and Thisbe. Theirs was a selfless love and they made sure that even in death, they were together. Pyramus was the most handsome man and was childhood friend of Thisbe, the fairest maiden in Babylonia. They both lived in neighboring homes and fell in love with each other as they grew up together. However, their parents were dead against them marrying each other. So one night just before the crack of dawn, while everyone was asleep, they decided to slip out of their homes and meet in the nearby fields near a mulberry tree. Thisbe reached there first. As she waited under the tree, she saw a lion coming near the spring close by to quench its thirst. Its jaws were bloody. When Thisbe saw this horrifying sight, she panicked and ran to hide in some hollow rocks nearby. As she was running, she dropped her veil. The lion came near and picked up the veil in his bloody jaws. At that moment, Pyramus reaches near the mulberry tree and sees Thisbe's veil in the jaws of the lion. He is completely devastated. Shattered, he pierces his chest with his own sword. Unknown to what just happened, Thisbe is still hiding in the rocks due to the fear of the lion. When she comes out after sometime, she sees what her lover did to himself. She is totally shattered when she sees the sword piercing right through her lover's chest. She also takes the sword and kills herself.Underwater Photography by Anastasia Traina ~2015~

Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. Its sound was such a cacophony, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a dark wild beast!Photography by Anastasia Traina ~ 2015 ~

The moon was a man, passionate, dark, and handsome. He hid in the shadows admiring the sun from a distance. It was a time when the moon had no light, but just watched and waited in dark shadows of sky and worshiped Eglantina's light from afar.Then one day as Eglantina was putting on a brilliant set of morning clothes, she felt she was being watched. She looked around and noticed the handsome moon starring at her from a deep corner of space."Why do you stare at me so, somber moon ?", asked Eglantina."I'm overwhelmed by your beauty and you leave me speechless so I can only watch you from a distance, because if I touched you I would surely die."Eglantina went closer to the moon and said, "You will not die if you touched me, come closer and kiss me."The Moon went to her and kissed her fiery lips that morning and the fire was so strong it left him glowing all day and into the night. And every morning she would kiss him again and he would rise up glowing so brightly he lit up and the light filled his whole being and the night sky was full of light.Then one day the moon came out and said he would not receive a kiss from her that morning because he was becoming too bright, and the people on earth would have two Suns instead of one. "But I will kiss you and love you as much as I can, just not every day."The Moon was sad to miss the morning kiss and in his sadness he began to grow cold and dark again. But he did not become black as the night as he once was. The hope and anticipation of being with the Eglantina once more kept a few embers glowing leaving the moon to look as if he had put on a blue cloak.And so is the legend of the blue moon.Photography by Anastasia Traina ~ 2015 ~

One of Hobart's greatest charms is the city's old world atmosphere.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the inner-city suburb of Battery Point, first settled in 1804, and neighbouring Salamanca Place. The area takes its name from the battery of guns established in 1818 on the promontory of land, close to the site of the present CSIRO Oceanographic laboratories on Castray Esplanade sections of which still stand. Two of the original houses still standing; Stowell and Secheron were built in 1831, and Narryna; now a colonial museum, in 1836. By the 1850's, Battery Point had become a mariner's village. Tiny workers' cottages were crammed, amid the grand mansions of the wealthy merchants. The almost toylike Arthur Circus circling its 'village green' in the shadow of the mansion Lenna is an example of this. Lenna is now an award-winning hotel.
Between 1835 and 1850 the delightful Georgian warehouses lining Salamanca Place were built. This was a principal area of waterfront activity when transport by sea was still supreme and Salamanca Place drew sailors and whalers from around the world.
Their thirsts were quenched in a host of pubs, some of which still serve today's visitors - particularly around New Year, when Hobart is the focal point for the yachting world, hosting the finishes of the Sydney-Hobart bluewater classic and the 'Westcoaster' Melbourne-Hobart race.
The area is a treasure trove of colonial architecture containing such gems as the original Customs House, now Tasmania's Parliament House; the John Lee Archer designed St George's Church, and Government buildings on Castray Esplanade but Battery Point and Salamanca Place are much more than a museum of colourful past.

In a daisy chain of sources, MocoNews reported an incognito source has leaked the possible prices and channel line-up for AT&T's mobile TV service due May 4. This in additional accordance from PhoneMag quoting The Boy Genius Report (linkbaiting gone wild).
I'm removing quotes since I can't even begin to understand who I should credit. The gist is as follows:
The $13 plan gets you four channels – Fox Mobile, CBS Mobile, NBC, and NBC News – while for $15 a month you can add Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, CNN Mobile and ESPN to that.
But that's not all folks! Jump to the $30 package, and you get the previous nine channels, Media Net, Cellular Video and an exclusive Sony Pictures channel.AT&T will be keen to differentiate its MediaFLO service from that of Verizon.
I'll take showcase number 2 Bob! Though I have to let you know, to quote Happy Gilmore, "The price is wrong b*@ch!
Sure FLO has its advantages over the ever-buffering TV over Internet solutions of the past (RIP Amp'd Live, I loved you), however is it $30 worth of advantages…a month?
Doubtful. Maybe if they could sell a phone with more than 2 hours of battery life I'd consider it, but after a full day of text, bluetooth pairing and voice calls, I can't foresee getting the level of value the costs demand to support the service.

My name is Jenni and I am in love with butterscotch. There, I said it.
Why do I love it? It is rich and deeply flavorful, and it is perfectly balanced between salty and sweet.
It's more complex than caramel, and every bit as delicious.
If you're a fan, this page is for you. And if you think you don't like it, let me just say there is no comparison between homemade butterscotch and the artificially flavored stuff you can find in stores.
Looking for more butterscotchy goodness? You can find all my butterscotch recipes in one place!
This post contains affiliate links. For more information, please see my disclosure policy.
Why People Think They Don't Like Butterscotch
Butterscotch gets a bad rap. Everyone is all "Oooh, caramel!" and "Oh, I just had some lovely salted caramel." and "Yes, each caramel has exactly three flakes of salt from Tatooine balanced atop it. Magical!"
But try talking butterscotch to these folks, and Noses turn Up. They say things like this:
- "It's too sweet."
- "It tastes like chemicals"
- "It's a weird color. What is up with that?"
I submit to you that these butterscotch naysayers just haven't had good butterscotch.
As a matter of fact, most of the store-bought products labeled as "butterscotch flavored" don't even contain the two main components of the flavor at all. (Spoiler alert: brown sugar and butter)
What Is Butterscotch and What Does It Taste Like?
Butterscotch is rich, complex, buttery, and a bit smoky. It should be a little bit salty and not super sweet.
Butterscotch tastes like the best crunchy toffee you've ever had, minus the nuts.
The disctinctive flavor comes from the perfect marriage of caramelized sugar, browned butter, and a hint of molasses.
In other words:
Why salt? Back when butterscotch first came on the scene (see my recipe for authentic butterscotch candy), almost all butter was salted to allow for longer storage.
How much salt? Kind of a lot. And old school butterscotch contained equal parts of sugar and butter plus 1/4 part, by weight, of treacle or molasses.
Lots of butter means lots of salt, so salt is really an integral part of the flavor profile. Not enough salt, and your butterscotch ends up tasting too sweet and not with nearly as deep and complex a flavor.
What Flavor Is Butterscotch?
Butterscotch is a flavor, so there aren't really any other flavors of butterscotch. It's not like lollipops where you could have cherry lollipops, grape lollipops, or lime lollipops.
You can have flavored butterscotch, as with my coffee butterscotch sauce, but butterscotch was originally a candy. The flavor of this candy was so great, folks started to use it as a flavoring in other desserts like cakes, custards, etc.
Modern Butterscotch versus Old-Fashioned Butterscotch
Looking at the proportions of ingredients for original butterscotch, which was a hard candy before it was a flavor used in other desserts, there is a relatively large amount of molasses in it. 25% of the weight of the sugar and butter, to be exact.
According to How Stuff Works in their post on making homemade brown sugar, dark brown sugar these days contains 6.5% molasses.
If you were to make butterscotch using the original proportions, you might think it a little bitter with way too much molasses flavor. Look at some of the comments on my authentic butterscotch candy post, and you'll see folks saying that.
I have a butterscotch sauce recipe where molasses is almost 19% of the weight of the sugar. Even that's a bit more molassesy than most modern versions.
These days, we like our candy sweeter, so dark brown sugar is ideal for adding molasses flavor without being too bitter for modern taste buds.
How To Make Butterscotch
This video gives you a pretty good idea of how to make butterscotch itself before I go on to show how to make creme brulee.
There are degrees of butterscotchiness. The longer you cook the brown sugar and butter together, the deeper the flavor will be.
To get full on butterscotchy goodness, you need to cook the brown sugar and butter together until the butter browns and the sugar caramelizes.
Since the milk solids in the butter will brown well before the sugar caramelizes, you'll be looking for indications that the sugar has caramelized to tell when your butterscotch is done.
- Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. American style butter contains about 18-20% water, so melt the butter first over medium low heat. Don't let it boil because we need the water in the butter to help dissolve the sugar.
- Add the dark brown sugar and cook the two together. Cook the butter and brown sugar together, stirring constantly, until the sugar is at least mostly dissolved (this is easier to do when you use more butter rather than less, since more butter equals more water). Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cook until the sugar caramelizes. At first, the mixture will be smooth and bubbly. At a certain point, your butterscotch mixture will separate, and you may see butter swimming around in the pan. That's okay. Keep going. Cook and stir until the mixture comes back together, it starts to smoke a bit, and you smell the distinctive smell of caramelized sugar. That's how you know that you've gotten the deepest flavor that you can.
Here's another video for you to watch, this time of making butterscotch cheesecake.
What Kind of Sugar to Use to Make Butterscotch
If you're going old-school, you can use granulated sugar and add in molasses on its own. That way, you are free to add as little or as much molasses flavor as you want.
But, for modern butterscotch (less bitter, less molasses), use dark brown sugar at the sweet spot for modern palates of 6.5% molasses.
Light brown sugar doesn't really have quite enough molasses in it to make a really deeply flavored butterscotch, so stick with dark brown.
What To Do with Butterscotch
Once you have made the butterscotch, the simplest thing to do is to pour it out and allow it to cool as an old-school hard candy.
You have other options, though. To make a butterscotch sauce, you can add heavy cream.
Once you've made your sauce, you can use it over ice cream, or you can add the sauce to another recipe to infuse the flavor of butterscotch into it, like I did with my butterscotch cheesecake recipe and my butterscotch creme brulee.

Now that you have a pretty good handle on butterscotch as a flavor and how to make it, here are some more recipes you might enjoy.

Future role of national parliaments in the EU
September 7, 2009
The German Constitutional Court judgment is likely to provoke parliaments in other Member States to seek ways of controlling their governments when acting in the EU Council. Were they all to choose the Danish model, the consequences for Council negotiations would be dramatic.
Danish ministers, before attending EU Council meetings, require a negotiating mandate from the Europe Committee of the Folketing (parliament) on EU policy questions "of a major importance". In practice, almost all legal documents are submitted to the committee, prior to their adoption. The committee meets weekly and has a substantial, well qualified, secretariat.
There is a need anyway for national parliaments to buy in to the EU process and to play a much more active role. Unfortunately, MPs have shown little interest and MEPs do not always make them welcome.
What then is the solution?
Conscientious MPs are overworked. A way needs to be found to make it directly worth their while. I was one of three rapporteurs for the myparl.eu project which began in early 2008 but was prematurely terminated by the European Parliament for internal bureaucratic reasons. The principles of this aborted project could well carry the seeds of a long term solution.
An intranet site would enable MPs and MEPs to share information and knowledge about the European, and also enable MPs to share information and knowledge about what they are themselves doing at the national level.
The intranet could include a forum for the exchange of ideas and debate.
Myparl.eu was multilingual, enabling participation by the MPs of all 27 Member States.
MPs would have had easy access to what is happening in the European Parliament and would have enabled MPs to help each other, eg by obtaining information on what has been done or is being done in other national parliaments on the same subject.
From an MP's point of view, Myparl would have increased his/her visibility, credibility and reputation, and facilitate their input to EU legislation.
Myparl had the firm support of EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering and Commission Information Vice President, Margot Wallström. It is therefore recommended that Myparl be dusted down and be reintroduced, adapted in the light of experience.
A similar networking site for congressmen and women is being launched in the US this autumn.
Politicians need to recognize that new technologies can help communication and policy-making, and have the courage to open their debates beyond mainly elite circles.Author : Stanley Crossick
, EU national parliaments, german constitutional court, Myparl, Poettering, Walstrom
Involving national parliaments to such extent helps transparency and democratic standards, but is fully against the so wanted EU simplification.
There is little danger of other Member States following the Danish example. They can see its stultifying impact on the Danish representatives every time they sit in the Council.
The core problem is not the misplaced competition between MPs and MEPs but the inability of the former to recognise that they must mandate their ministers to negotiate in the Council. This cannot, by definition, mean sending them with riding instructions that they come home with a pre-ordained result, which is what the Danes are forced to attempt.
This political reality is what guided the outcome of the negotiations between the German political parties in agreeing an amended form of "accompanying legislation" following the decision of the German constitutional court. Ministers will retain full freedom to negotiate subject to some changed monitoring and review powers for the Bundestag and the Bundesrat.
Thank you for the explanation of the Danish Model. At first, I mistook it for the flexicurity concept which is also referred to as Danish Model.
My question: why would EU-wide adoption of the Danish Model have dramatic consequences for Council negotiations? Will it slow things down? How ministers prepare themselves before attending EU council meetings is up to them and their MP's, isn't it?
Very interesting stuff, keep it up!
Without wishing to hurt the feelings of those involved, or to question their dedication to the idea of Myparl, had it gone ahead it would simply have served to make the situation worse.
A US citizen understands very well how "Washington" works. They know what the relationship is between the Administration and Congress and the interplay between the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The problem of the democratic deficit in Europe is the fact that the citizens of Europe do not know how "Brussels" works and, what is worse, those involved seem to do their best to hide it from them. Article 203 of the TEC states "The Council shall consist of a representative of each Member State at ministerial level, authorised to commit the government of that Member State". What could be clearer! The job of national parliaments is decide the extent of that commitment in respect of particular issues, having regard to the fact that the Council is a negotiating forum subject to decision-making by QMV (i.e. whatever instructions the relevant Minister has, he or she may be voted down) but within the institutional triangle made up of the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament and subject to the control of the ECJ.
National parliaments cannot insert themselves into the process. It would be the equivalent of the members of a State legislature in the US attempting to do the same. The provisions in the Lisbon Treaty allow national parliaments to block the process but the likelihood of this ever happening is remote. How could the Commission and governments across Europe be unaware of the fact that a proposal would be anathema to a sufficient number? The provisions are pure window-dressing to try mask the unwillingness of governments to face the fact that their citizens, in a Europe of 27, are now very uneasy about what they have signed up to.
The judgement of the German constitutional court is but a symptom of this malaise.

Homeowners generally like to take their time when selling their houses, but often the need for cash is greater than the desire to find the perfect buyer. It takes time, effort and money to sell the property at the highest possible price, because you will first need to increase its value and to promote it on the dedicated market and only afterwards hope to find a generous buyer. Fortunately, you can skip those stages by resorting to a house buying company like Webuyanyhouse.co.uk. Whether you are in a dire situation and you need money urgently or you simply wish to avoid the hassle of selling a property, house buying services are the perfect choice. The advantages of using this type of services include convenience, speed, reliability, privacy, cash buyers, no mortgages, independent valuation and so on. On the other hand, you can potentially establish a higher price on the open market for your property.
Another perk of using a company specializing in buying houses is the fact that they generally buy properties in any condition, so you do not have to worry about increasing the value of the house. However, the main reason why people choose to rely on a house buying company is the fact that they get the chance of selling their properties in less than a week. Whether you wish to move to a new house, you are relocating or you wish to sell one of your properties for the money, you will need to find a buyer fast. If you do not plan to take out mortgage for a new house, you will need to sell the old one as soon as possible. Resorting to a real estate agent and marketing you property online are alternatives that will not provide fast results; on the contrary, you will need to have great patience to sell your house using either one of these methods. Sometimes, using the traditional methods will not even give results. You can have your house for sale years at a time to no avail, but a company specializing in buying and selling houses will provide immediate results and most importantly, immediate cash.
What is more, resorting to this type of services will allow you to enjoy a hassle free selling process, because you will be able to leave everything in the hands of a specialist. The company buying the house will take care of everything from documents to money transfer, the only thing the house owner will need to do is check the offer, decide whether they are content and sign the papers. The entire process will take as little as a couple of days, so people in dire need of money should resort to this service instead of relying on real estate brokers. Another convenient aspect of house buying services is the fact that you will be able to get money fit to the value of your house, because the buyer is someone experimented that will know exactly how much your property is worth, so there is no more need to negotiate.

A rising star on the rally driving scene was killed in a road smash early today.
Patrick Kiernan, 23, from Bailieborough in Cavan, died instantly when his car was involved in a two-vehicle crash in Stradone at around 12.30am.
The driver of the other vehicle, who is in his 20s, along with another passenger, who is in his late teens, are in a serious condition in hospital.
It was the second fatality on the roads within hours, following the death of 16-year-old Stacey Masterson in Dublin.
In that case, gardai want to interview the drivers of two other cars who overtook the bus moments before the crash.
A spokesman for Patrick's club, Cavan Rally Club, Ruaidhri Nash, recalled what a likeable person talented driver Patrick was.
He said: "He was full of life. He was a very nice person and was well know on the rally scene.
"He was an absolute gentleman and he was wise beyond his years. He always took the time to talk to you whether he was in the car or out of it, regardless of what he had going on."
Meanwhile, in Dublin, a 16-year-old girl died when a bus and car were in collision on a section of the Greenhills Road, near Walkinstown.
Stacey Masterson, of Kilmartin Green, Tallaght, Dublin 24, died instantly when the BMW she was travelling in crashed at around 5pm on Sunday evening.
Speaking yesterday, Stacey's devastated uncle, John Masterson, said: "She was too young. The good die young."

Chris Brogan, an extremely entertaining speaker at SOBCon08 in Chicago, asks How Does Your Blog Relate To Your Business? Since there were already 39 comments when I found his blog, I thought I'd give my answer here.
Answer: My blogs are one of my primary marketing tools for my business.
Through my blogs, and search engines, I seek to find new prospective customers for my various business products and services.
I don't do any offline marketing (unless you count giving out business cards). So everything I do for my business is online.
And after almost two years of blogging, and learning about marketing online, search engine marketing, pay-per-click advertising and now, ecommerce best practices, I've found blogging to be one of the most cost effective (cheap) ways to help prospective customers to "know, like and trust" me …
Most business people want some kind of return on investment bottom-line figure, but it's hard to put a number to what blogging does for my business. I do believe that if I stopped blogging, my business would not grow as fast …
Here's four ways blogging helps my business:
- Blogging puts a face to my business — I think people are more comfortable purchasing from someone they actually know, in some virtual way. Brian is a testament of this. His customers follow him almost like a fan club. And I think they buy because they like and trust him.
- Blogging helps new customers find me, or vice versa — I'm thinking more in terms of finding new customers through the search engines here.
- Blogging demonstrates my expertise in my business field — My hope is by blogging things like this post, those who have been hanging around my blog, but never bought from me or communicated with me, also see that I know what I'm talking about.
- Blogging is my way of educational marketing — I try to be a practical blog writer and give readers something they can use in their businesses. I enjoy teaching through blogging. And my goal is to teach people how to use my products and services in a way that's valuable to them even if they don't buy from me though.

As the innermost planet's interior cooled and contracted, its crust buckled and fractured just as much as geologists expected.
NASA's Mariner 10 spacecraft made three historic flybys of Mercury in 1974–75. Among the mission's many amazing results was the discovery that the innermost planet must have shrunk as it cooled after forming 4½ billion years ago. The evidence for that is a series of ragged thrust faults — places where one giant slab of rock has been pushed on top of another — due to strong compressional stresses within the crust.
Geophysicists quickly realized that Mercury is a "one-plate planet." It lacks the interlocking (and constantly colliding) patchwork of crustal plates found on Earth. Consequently, as Mercury's interior cooled and solidified over billions of years, its total volume shrank a bit. But by then the crust had long since solidifed — it had no "give" to give. So it responded by cracking and crunching, creating the thrust faults and wrinkle ridges seen in Mariner 10's images.
The same thing happens to an apple that's been sitting on the kitchen counter too long: it gets dried out, its volume shrinks, and its skin gets all wrinkly.
Due to the peculiar coupling of Mercury's orbital and spin periods, Mariner 10 viewed less than half of the planet despite three passes.at close range. So researchers guesstimated, based on the faulting they could see, that overall the planet's radius had shrunk between 0.8 and 3 km. This result puzzled them, because calculations showed that the contraction should have been several times greater.
Now, thanks to NASA's Messenger spacecraft, geophysicists have global, high-def imagery that allows them to take a fresh look at the problem. In March 16th's issue of Nature Geoscience, published online, a team led by Paul Byrne (Carnegie Institution of Washington) reports that Mercury's radius has shrunk up to 7 km, much more in line with the theoretical prediction.
Byrne and his colleagues measured the crustal shrinkage two ways. First, they kept track of the thrust faults and wrinkle ridges spotted along eight "great circles" around the planet. This yielded a total radial contraction of between 3.7 and 5.5 km. (There's no good way to know at what angles the thrust faults extend down into the crust; shallower angles would cause greater overlap.)
The second method involved taking a complete census of the planet's contraction-induced ridges and fractures — 5,934 in all. After excluding territory covered by the large Caloris and Rembrandt impact basins, which postdate the era when Mercury cooled most rapidly, the team found that the radius had contracted anywhere from 4.7 to 7.1 km, again depending on the thrust-fault angles.
Either way, it's a solid match to the theoretical values. "That we have documented changes in Mercury's radius of up to a factor of seven larger than previous results resolves a nearly four-decades-old paradox," the researchers conclude, adding that "the history of heat production and loss and the accumulated global contraction are now consistent."
Other interesting tidbits emerged from this study. For example, the widespread volcanic plains near Mercury's north pole bear a disproportionate share of the wrinkle ridges and thrust faults. These plains cover only 6% of the planet, yet 28% of the counted features are found there and they account for 19% of the total shrinkage.
Also, because Messenger's laser altimeter has mapped the planet's highs and lows, Byrne's team found several instances where the regional topography slowly undulates, as if the crust has warped and buckled on larger scales.
Historical footnote: back in the 19th century, some scientists speculated that Earth's mountain ranges, tectonic rifts, and fault zones were created by the same kind of global contraction that's evident on Mercury. Now we know that it's all largely the result of plate tectonism, our planet's signature geophysical process.
Still, it's a reasonable scenario for what happens to rocky planets as they evolve. As Byrne and his team point out, "With the increasing number of terrestrial planets identified in extrasolar planetary systems, Mercury may come to serve as a case study with which to understand the global cooling and contractional histories of rocky, one-plate planets in general."
By the way, Mariner 10 will always have a special place in my heart. Its Mercury flybys were the first planetary encounters I covered after joining the staff of Sky & Telescope.

With the control of a host PC, up to 50 terminals can be connected via the multi-PC projection from a single projector. The host PC acts as a moderator, selecting media from up to four terminals to be projected simultaneously. With the moderator function, you can maintain control and prevent tampering with what's projected on screen.
1.6x Zoom Lens
Enjoy greater placement flexibility with 1.6x zoom lens. With wider lens, you can position the projector closer to the screen to free up valuable room and desk space.
Wireless Transmission
Enjoy enhanced connectivity and flexibility with Wi-Fi connectivity. Easily share and transmit images and files from your smart devices using the "Epson iProjection" application for smooth and smart projections. And with an additional attachment piece holding the wireless LAN adaptor in place, your transmissions will never be interrupted.
Epson iProjection
The Epson iProjection application enables a wireless connection for projecting images and files from your smart devices. The new "QR Code Reader" function makes this wireless connection even easier by simply reading the QR code that is projected on the screen from your smart devices.
High Contrast Ratio
Add brilliance to your presentations. Boasting stunning brightness of up to 4,200 lumens and a high contrast ratio of 15000:1, these projectors enable you to project beautiful, well-defined images wherever you are, regardless of ambient light.
Miracast Screen Mirroring
Use Miracast to mirror your tablet or smart phone screen on the projection*. You can display contents such as documents, photos and videos from your mobile devices simply through a wireless connection to the projector. No more messy cables to worry about.
* If the Miracast function is activated, other network features will be disabled.
Horizontal Keystone Adjuster
Deliver powerful presentations anywhere in the room. With the easy-to-use sliding Horizontal Keystone Adjuster, screen corrections can be done quickly, easily and accurately, even in a limited space.
With automatic vertical keystone detection and adjustment, there is no longer any need for awkward and time-consuming manual image adjustments that interrupt the smooth flow of your presentation delivery. This handy feature automatically detects the projector's vertical keystone distortion and corrects it instantly.
Quick Corner
With the quick corner feature, you can use the keystone correction and lens shift function simultaneously for maximum projection without having to worry about unintentionally changing the aspect ratio.
Superior Sound Quality
The built-in 16W speaker provides ample sound even in large rooms, removing the need for external speakers to save you valuable time and money.

With a wide-ranging interface, you can choose from a variety of connection methods including HDMI, VGA and LAN. In addition, these projectors are equipped with two HDMI ports, one of which is MHL-enabled, for greater digital compatibility.
Simply connect your MHL-compatible device with the MHL cable to fully enjoy your contents on the big screen. What's more, when connected, you can charge your smart device and operate it using the projector's remote control.
Redirected Exhaust
The front-facing exhaust is intelligently positioned to prevent anyone from being exposed to the hot exhaust, especially when on a narrow table. This allows the audience to fully concentrate on the presentation, even if they are seated beside or behind the projector.

Liam Hemsworth: Miley Cyrus Would Beat Me in the Hunger Games
The actor says his girlfriend is "tough" – and calls Games mania a "punch to the head"
The Hunger Games are a brutal fight to the death requiring smarts, resourcefulness and brute strength to win. So if, say, Liam Hemsworth were competing in the Games against his girlfriend Miley Cyrus, who would take it?
No contest.
"Probably her," Hemsworth, 22, said on the black carpet alongside Cyrus, 19, at Monday's massive Hunger Games premiere in L.A. "She's a tough girl, that one."
The Aussie actor also marveled at the mania surrounding Games, which drew thousands of screaming fans to the premiere.
"It's like a good punch to the head," he said of the raucous scene, noting that his brother Chris, 28, who starred in last summer's superhero blockbuster Thor, has experienced fan pandemonium in the past.
"My brother had somewhat been through it," said Liam. "And he's always been a big role model in my life. I try to take as much knowledge from him as I can."
Meanwhile, Hunger Games's youngest star – 13-year-old Amandla Stenberg – sought advice from the film's Girl on Fire herself, Jennifer Lawrence.
"I talked to Jen about [the mania]," Stenberg said at the premiere. "And she was like, 'Just be prepared. It is gonna be crazy.' So she did give me a heads-up."

In the breathtaking and bracing French/Turkish feminist drama Mustang the performances from co-writer and director Deniz Gamze Ergüven's striking and fiercely resilient young female cast are inarguably tremendous, and possess extraordinary range, but, for me, it is the assertive direction that is the film's most exciting trait. You don't often find a female-directed début film collect accolades as diverse as the Cannes Director's Fortnight Prize, the Best First Feature Cesar Award, and an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. You can be sure, it deserves them. This film will floor you.
Mustang's pedigree is as impressive as the accomplished production, with producer Charles Gillibert having worked previously with Abbas Kiarostami, Olivier Assayas, Xavier Dolan and Mia Hansen-Love, co-writer Anna Winocour is also an established director – her second feature film Disorder, starring Matthias Schoenaerts, premiered in the Un Certain Regard at Cannes in 2015 – and the composer of the entrancing score Warren Ellis is a veteran Nick Cave collaborator.
On the last day of school in a remote village in northern Turkey, five energetic, free-spirited orphaned teenage sisters (Güneş Şensoy, Doğa Doğuşlu, Elit İşcan, Tuğba Sunguroğlu and İlayda Akdoğan) splash around on the local beach with their male classmates. Their innocent games catch the eye of a nosy neighbour, who reports what she considers to be their illicit behaviour to the girls' over-protective grandmother (Nihal Koldaş) and domineering uncle (Ayberk Pekcan, Winter Sleep). The family's overreaction results in the confiscation of all 'instruments of corruption' like phones and computers, and the girls are forced to become prisoners within their own home.
Bars are added to the windows, so rendezvous with boyfriends and admirers are cut off, and they don't return to school after the summer break. Instead, they must endure daily lessons from neighbourhood elders to prep them and keep them pure for their subsequent arranged marriages. In the bittersweet developments; which depict these young women clinging to the fleeting freedoms of childhood in hopeful and inventive ways, but always flirting with the wrath of the family regime, they find their resilience surrender one at a time to their family's wishes. The youngest of the siblings Lale (Şensoy), the last in line to be married and the most opposed to the traditions, seeks an escape; gradually building an arsenal of secret weapons, procured following risky descents down the drain-pipe and covert sleuthing, in case the chance presents itself.
The heft of the narrative – the exploration of what its like to be a young woman in a conservative Turkish town, the unity of sisterhood, and subversive efforts to maintain a grasp on independence and seek empowerment while navigating adolescence – is considerable, given the lean runtime. It is so efficient, and confident in its expression. For a film about the preservation of female agency amidst a strict, hypocritical patriarch-ruled household, this film aligns us with their voice; positioning them as a single unit (although clearer focus is directed on Lale as the sisters fall victim to patriarchy) and as the central narrators of this story. We feel their suffocation, understand their frustrations, empathise with their self-destructive urges, and experience their terrifying exploitation and uplifting embraces of freedom every step of the way.
Gorgeously photographed, and briskly edited, Mustang skillfully fuses montage with broader, expansive sequences – and has one of the most incredible cuts in any feature film I have seen this year. As sweet as it is enraging – this very impressive film is firmly in opposition to perverse puritanism, offering a rebellious social critique, and functioning as a dramatic escape-thriller, while spotlighting the arrival of both an exciting new voice in European cinema, and introducing the world to five potential future superstars of the screen. Unforgettable.

Dinner Party by Tracy Bloom: Three couples, Beth and Chris, Sarah and Tony, and Marie and Duncan, alternately host a monthly dinner party. But, when it is Beth and Chris' turn to host, Chris invites Simon, a man he met on his postal route. He fails to tell Beth, who is annoyed, but it just so happens that Simon is very attractive and is recently separated from his wife. However, no one could ever have predicted the outcome of such an innocent invitation.
Usually, these monthly dinner parties are all about dips and chips and the usual chit chat- nothing notable or too crazy. In fact, they can be a little dull. But, once Simon becomes a fixture, the group's dynamic will never be the same again.
I think fans of Liane Moriarty would really like this story. The author does a great job of creating a tense domestic environment in which each of the wives feels their marriages are less than ideal. When the attractive, and vulnerable Simon arrives on the scene, he revitalizes all three women, much to the chagrin of their husbands- except for the ever -oblivious Chris.
Told from the benefit of hindsight, we know something catastrophic takes place between the featured couples and that Simon is the catalyst. But, we have no idea what will happen and which marriage(s), will become collateral damage. This format creates an almost unbearable amount of suspense, which sorely tempts readers to skip ahead to see what will happen next.
The story also has a few moments of hilarity, where I guffawed out loud- especially at Beth, who has a forthrightness that is unrivaled. But, at the core of the story is Beth's unhappiness in her marriage, something her poor, overly optimistic and affable husband, Chris, is seemingly unaware of. Beth wants to feel cherished, beautiful, and sexy, but she is usually described as 'cuddly'. That's not a bad thing, really, but Beth doesn't see it that way. She's bored, and wants something exciting in her life, and Simon just might be her ticket out of the doldrums. But, she will have to get in line behind Sarah and Marie, women who are stylish, thin, and much more conniving, who also find Simon stimulating.
This is a very well-written domestic drama, full of suspense, and comedy, but it is also surprisingly romantic. This book was hard to put down and had me furiously turning pages to see how everything turned out in the end. There are lots of surprises, lots of comedy, and a little bit of emotion sprinkled in, here and there, to give the story depth and balance.
Overall, this is a highly entertaining and absorbing novel. This was my first taste of Tracy Bloom's work, but, will not be my last!!

The September issue of Advocate magazine (published by CAALA, the Consumer Attorneys Associations for Southern California) contains an article I wrote prompted by the funding crisis in California courts. These court cutbacks, which will cause delays and other problems in working cases through the court system, should cause the consumers of court services–both litigants and attorneys–to rethink the way they use the court system.
The title is borrowed from the fall conference I am helping to organize for the Southern California Mediation Association. Part of my article describes the new "Select a Mediator" program designed by SCMA in response to the closure of the LA County Superior Court's ADR program.
I also offer some suggestions for conducting litigation in an era where courts have fewer resources to deal with motions and trials. Lawyers and litigants are going to have to negotiate their way through pre-trial proceedings without bringing every controversy to a judge. That's a necessity caused by budget cutbacks, but doing that might also prove to benefit the parties by reducing the costs of court resolution of every dispute within a case.

FAI tries to set record straight
Soccer:The Football Association of Ireland today attempted to clarify the nature of their request to be included in next year's World Cup finals. Stressing that the request was raised only fleetingly, the FAI had been assured all issues at last Friday's meeting with Fifa would remain completely private.
When Fifa president Sepp Blatter unexpectedly brought the matter into the public domain on Monday the FAI responded by asking that the matter not be raised at today's meeting of the governing body's executive committee in Cape Town.
Seeking to draw a line under the matter, the FAI released a statement today explaining their original stance and accusing Blatter of "diverting attention" from the real issues of cheating and fair play in the sport.
"The FAI has already clarified that this matter was peripheral, was not raised in any of its formal written submissions to Fifa, and was explored only fleetingly as part of a wide-ranging 90-minute discussion with that body," the statement read.
"Regrettably, the matter appears to have been singled out in public by Mr Blatter despite his assurances that the meeting would remain private."
Blatter has received widespread criticism for the manner of his revelation, when he mockingly referred to the FAI's 'humble' request to be included as a 33rd team in South Africa.
In his address to a soccer conference on Monday, Blatter also revealed that he had spoken to Thierry Henry, who's handball sealed Ireland's fate, and explained that he could understand why he had cheated although he did not condone his actions.
The FAI described that stance as entirely "inappropriate" and outlined a list of issues they hope to see addressed.
These included:
*Ensuring that Fifa's rules cannot be changed mid-way through a tournament, for whatever reason, commercial or otherwise
*Introducing video technology for matches at the highest level which has been resisted for too long
*Introducing stronger sanctions for players involved in match defining breaches of the laws
