Archive: More shoppers willing to pay extra for milk
Published 23 February 15

Four out of five consumers would be willing to pay more for milk if dairy farmers were to receive all the additional money, according to the AHDB/DairyCo Tracker, conducted by YouGov. Between 74 and 76 % of consumers surveyed have been saying that they would be willing to pay more for milk in the quarterly survey since October 2013. The increase to 80% in this latest wave (conducted 23-25 January 2015) has coincided with the recent heightened media attention around dairy farming.
Retail milk prices have fallen by 13% between February 14 and Feb 15, at least in part, because the competition between retailers for market share has intensified. The Tracker shows that almost one in five consumers say they would pay over 20 pence more for a four pint bottle.
Price cuts to a number of key household grocery items have been key to the retailers' everyday low pricing strategies as they look to gain or maintain market share. Price cuts do appear to encourage some shoppers to change where they buy. What consumers say they will do (in this case pay more for milk) might not necessarily translate into actions, as they continue to keep an eye on household costs, but clearly many consumers are sympathetic to dairy farmers.

With its open roads and mild climate, Alabama is a great place for bikers to go out and ride. Unfortunately, too many motorists in Auburn and the surrounding communities don't know how to share the road with motorcyclists, and when they cause motorcycle accidents, serious injuries happen.
When that happens, you're at an immediate disadvantage. Insurance companies love to play hardball with motorcyclists because they know there's a public opinion bias against bikers. We know the truth. We know you're a responsible operator who was injured through no fault of your own, and you deserve to be compensated for your injuries. The Slocumb Law Firm fights for you.
We understand the challenges posed by Alabama motorcycle wrecks
Motorcycle accidents, by and large, are high-stakes cases. Because bikers have very little protection compared to people in cars and trucks, they're often seriously injured. Some of the most common injuries we see in Auburn motorcycle accidents include:
- Head and brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Loss of limbs
- Biker's arm
- Road rash
But when the crash itself ends, the hurt is just beginning. There's a very strong bias against motorcyclists because the general public sees bikers as irresponsible thrill-seekers. Insurance companies are always ready to take these cases to trial because they know the jury will be influenced by that bias. And that's especially true in a contributory negligence state such as Alabama, where if you're found even slightly at fault for your injuries, you can't recover damages.
Get a proven fighter in your corner
Getting the compensation you deserve after a motorcycle wreck in Auburn isn't easy, but it is possible. The key is to get a motorcycle accident lawyer on your side who knows how to overcome those challenges. We pore over accident reports, interview witnesses and leave no stone unturned to build you a winning case. And we know how to stand up to the insurance companies in negotiations and at trial.
Injured bikers in Auburn know they can trust Mike Slocumb and his team to fight for maximum results. If you've been injured, get the Alabama Hammer on your side. Contact us online or call 334-741-4110 right now.

New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who is undergoing treatment for kidney ailment, will take oath today for his new six years term in the Rajya Sabha. The ceremony will take place in the chambers of Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu.
The 65-year old Jaitley was elected recently from Uttar Pradesh and will take oath at a special ceremony due to his health condition.
The Vice President & Chairman, Rajya Sabha, Shri @MVenkaiahNaidu will administer the oath to Shri Jaitley in his Chamber in Parliament House," the Finance Ministry said in a tweet. The ceremony is likely to take place at 11:00 AM, sources said. Jaitley was on April 3 once again appointed as the Leader of the Upper House following the re-election. He has not been going to his North Block office since April 2.
He underwent dialysis at AIIMS on April 9 and has been confined to a "controlled environment" at home. He had cancelled his scheduled foreign visits and had confirmed his illness in a tweet. "I am being treated for kidney-related problems & certain infections that I have contracted," he had tweeted.
Jaitley had in September 2014 undergone a bariatric surgery to treat weight gain that he suffered because of a long-standing diabetic condition. That surgery was first performed at Max Hospital, but he had to be later shifted to AIIMS because of complications. He had a heart surgery several years ago.

They remodeled the Holiday Inn where I lodge while working in Carpinteria.
Marble counter tops, simulated wood flooring, fresh carpet - it's not homey, but I like it.
I'm one of those people who enjoys hotels (until I begin to miss my family). When I'm on the road, I'm focused on the task at hand, whether it's work or vacation. No chores, cooking, dishwashing, laundry, bed making, or answering the door, that is, unless its dinner being served.
On an average business trip, I work about 14 hours a day. Six hours for sleep and the rest is dining or exercise. When I return home from one of these adventures, I usually feel a huge sense of accomplishment.
This afterglow quickly fades once I tackle the pile of bills and the loads of laundry waiting for me. But I do love seeing my family and the cat.
Maybe next time I should bring them to the Holiday Inn with me,
and stay longer.

The future of Pakenham's most iconic festival has been plunged into doubt amid a dire volunteer shortage.
Yakkerboo Festival is on a knife-edge; with committee president Michael Porter revealing the carnival needs five new volunteers before the end of September to remain viable.
He said it is likely the 42-year tradition will be permanently retired without an influx of support.
"We are considering shutting down the festival due to lack of interest of anyone wanting to get on the committee," Mr Porter said.
"We are at an all-time low and are now desperate after losing three people at the recent annual general meeting but only gaining two new committee members.
"If we don't get them we may have to make the very tough decision to cancel the 2019 festival and possibly retire it for good.
"The small team we now have just isn't enough to run the festival."
Mr Porter revealed his personal enjoyment of 2018's festivity was hampered by the personal burden of having fewer hands on deck.
"Last year we were run off our feet and did not enjoy the day like we have in the past due to being so undermanned," he added.
Volunteers are required to attend monthly 90 minute meetings to shape the future of the following year's Yakkerboo Festival.
Despite many declaring their intentions to assist, the committee has become sceptical because many fail to follow through.
"We have had so many promises of people wanting to join our team and come to the meetings but only two have actually turned up," Mr Porter said.
Councillor Graeme Moore, known affectionately by the community as Mr Yakkerboo, remained confident the festival would survive the rough patch.
However, Cr Moore – who keeps the monstrous green Yakkerboo in his garage – said it would be "devastating" if the festival was retired.
"I'm the carer of Yakkerboo and I don't know what I'd do with him, I don't know where you'd put a big green question mark type of animal," he said.
"It's just starting to get a lot of momentum with the community so it would be horrible to see it go."
He said it was vital for passionate people to volunteer their time.
"It will have trouble surviving if you lost the heart and soul of the committee," Cr Moore added.
"It needs the right balance of people that will get on the ground and do things to help out."
Residents were shocked when they learnt of the festival's predicament.
"I can't believe we may lose the heart and soul of Pakenham," Shirley McLay said.
"I've been going for the past decade and I can't imagine Pakenham without it," another supporter added.
The next meeting takes place on 26 September from 7pm at Cardinia Club's boardroom.
Those interested can contact the Yakkerboo Festival committee at email@example.com.

Born in Poland in 1978 currently living in US. Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. I believe that travel broadens one's view of the world. Experiencing other cultures, meeting people from other communities and other countries and seeing the beauty, and sometimes ugliness, of the world has helped me understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual. It has made me better appreciate my own home and culture as well as that of the people I've met and the lands I've seen and I have become a much more tolerant person as a result. Through my photography I seek to document my own personal experiences, to capture scenes and events as I see them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world I've seen. As the images of other photographers have inspired me to explore the world, I hope my own contributions will inspire others to do the same. I view the art of photography as a subtractive process, a distilling of reality into a personal vision. As such I often use the tools of modern photography different film stocks, filters, digital enhancement trying to capture in an image the emotions I felt at the moment I tripped the camera's shutter.

"Rigid rules, regulations, official schools and current trendy styles needed by the unimaginative are deadly to creativity. History is full of "Golden Rules," laws of composition and other indispensable guidelines. Yet not one great image has ever been created through their application. Style is a natural result, not an aim."

Michal Pudelka at Christies
By Andrew Edwards, 8 June 2017
Here at Hempstead May, we have a long-standing working relationship with Michal Pudelka offering our post-production and printing expertise to finesse his stunning and truly unique imagery.
Christie's featured two of Pudelka's iconic prints for their new auction 'Photographs' on 18 May 2017. This auction consists of an encompassing range of work, from seminal artists such as Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Guy Bourdin and Erwin Blumenfeld to fashion photographers, as well as more contemporary artists.
Christie's, one of the world's most prestigious and leading art businesses. With over 350 auctions annually all over the globe, not limited to just photography. To be amongst such great art and on the walls of Christie's, this is a monumental time for both Pudelka and us.
We collaborated with Michal and a trusted framers to produce his fine art prints.

On Tuesday, IT giant Fujitsu announced it is offering a five-day program – available in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa (EMEIA) – that allows organizations to develop a minimum viable blockchain or distributed ledger technology (DLT) product. At the program's core, Fujitsu and each participating organization test blockchain business ideas that can potentially be implemented at a larger scale. Fujitsu asserts that if creators use this proof of business approach prior to developing a proof of concept, they can avoid many pitfalls common to blockchain and DLT projects.
Frederik de Breuck, head of Fujitsu's Blockchain Innovation Center, commented on the program's intent:
"Blockchain and other DLTs hold the potential to transform organizations and entire industries. Inspired by high levels of interest from our customers, we have created this ready-to-go package not only to jump-start the customers' blockchain efforts but also to review and improve existing projects. Available immediately across the EMEIA region, we expect this assessment to have a major impact on unlocking blockchain's potential for business use cases."
However, the program seems more suited to people without a pre-existing product. In an interview with The Register, business developer and lead architect at Fujitsu's Blockchain Innovation Center (BIC) Chris Pilling, described how the program could be utilized by clients who are seeking to develop a product from scratch.
The program starts with an introduction to blockchain technology, and then Fujitsu works with the client to define a problem, analyze it, and develop a use case. The next three days see the Fujitsu team develop a prototype and consider web applications and integration. On the last day, Fujitsu presents the product to the client and demonstrates how it could meet the organization's business need.
The program's framework puts the ball in the client's court: It is up to each organization to decide what to do with the product and the accompanying analysis. Clients can continue to develop the product, save it for later, or scrap it entirely. However, per Fujitsu's terms and conditions, clients cannot take their prototypes to rival tech companies.
The program is overseen by the Blockchain Innovation Center, which is located in Brussels, Belgium. The center opened on March 21 with the intent of conducting research and collaborating on blockchain projects. One of the center's goals is to expand blockchain technology outside of financial services "as a new architecture for information systems and sectors of all kinds."
One of the center's loftier goals is to create "the city of the future," with a focus on technology as well as "sociological and demographic factors, societal organization, economic functioning and ecological challenges." Fujitsu said it will promote the research and development of smart city services in Brussels and other cities.
Fujitsu's productization program starts at €9,900 (approximately $11,560 at time of press).
ETHNews does not endorse Fujitsu's program or any other blockchain-related project.

The Seminole Indians of Florida left a truly remarkable legacy with their patchwork designs. Used on pottery and baskets as well as quilts and clothing, the seminole patchwork designs look complex but are relatively simple to make.
This patchwork cushion cover is made using three colours and a straight cut on the strips – one of the most simple designs
Cutting requirements
Strips of fabric 1.1/2″ wide in blue and yellow, 1.1/4″ wide in black
Two strips of black fabric 1″ wide
Making the seminole patchwork strip
This patchwork cushion cover is made using a straight cut on the strips – one of the most simple designs. Sew the three fabric strips together along the length with the black in the middle. Press the seam allowances all in the same directions. This makes it more easy to match seams when sewing the smaller strips together. Cut across the width of this strip at 1.1/4″ intervals. These pieces will be sewn together offset so that the top of the black of one strip lies against the bottom of the black strip to the left of it.
With right sides together, place two strips with the black/yellow seam of one matching against the black/blue seam of the other. Sew the strips together first in pairs and then sew the pairs together until you have one long strip. The strip should be about 39″ long. Press.
In order to trim the edges of this strip place your ruler on the seminole strip, lining up the 1/4″ line on the ruler with the corners of the black squares. The edge of the ruler is now 1/4″ from these corners. Cut along this line and repeat on the other side of the patchwork strip.
The seminole strip looks stunning on its own, but it is safest to add a border strip above and below to hold all the triangles in place and prevent stretching. Sew a 1″ strip of black fabric to either side of the strip. Sew with the black strip underneath and the seminole strip on top so that you can see that your stitching is going just outside the black squares as you sew the seam. That's the seminole patchwork part of this cushion cover complete. You will need to cut this into two 17.1/2″ lengths for the cushion cover.
Making the patchwork middle of the cushion cover
The middle of the patchwork cushion cover is a larger strip of the same pattern. For this you will need three 4.1/2″ black squares and two 4.7/8″ squares each of blue and yellow. Cut the yellow and blue squares along the diagonal to create triangles and place them as shown with the black squares on point (placed diagonally) and the blue triangles above, yellow triangles below. Sew a triangle to each side of the black and add the triangles at each end. When adding the triangles, begin and end sewing 1/4″ from the edge so that the stitching from two seams just meet at the corner of the square. Trim the tips.
Trim the edges of the patchwork strip and add a 1″ strip of black above and below the strip. Cut the strip to 17.1/2″ long. The cover overall will be 17.1/2″ wide which will give a good fit with an 18″ cushion pad. Making the cushion cover slightly smaller than the cushion pad gives a nice plump cushion when complete.
Finishing the cushion cover front
Sew a 2.1/2″ by 17.1/2″ yellow strip above and below the patchwork strip and then add the seminole patchwork strips above and below the yellow strips. Sew a 2.1/2″ by 17.1/2″ strip of blue fabric at the top and bottom and that's the front of the cushion cover complete.
The back of the cushion cover
Cut a rectangle of yellow fabric 17.1/2″ wide by the width of the fabric. Turn under a double hem on each of the short edges so that the raw edges are hidden and slipstitch in place – or machine stitch if you prefer. Lay this rectangle with right side up and place the patchwork panel on top with right side up. The backing will extend about 12″ above and below the patchwork panel.
Fold the backing below the patchwork panel up over the top of the patchwork. Fold the backing above the panel down so that the patchwork panel is completely covered and the backing fabric overlaps by about 8″. This will create the envelope to turn the cushion cover right side out and to insert the cushion pad.
Pin carefully, making sure that you have all the layers of fabric together at the edges, and sew all round the edge of the square. I tend to use a 1/2″ seam to make sure that all the layers are caught in the seam. Turn the patchwork cushion cover inside out through the envelope at the back, gently push out the corners and insert a cushion pad.

Be sustainable
Who needs brand-new when you can have a perfectly good, pre-loved recycled bicycle. The manufacturing of new bicycles contributes to the huge strain on our earth's resources. Mining for raw materials such as metal ores, the process of mass production and the shipment of new products and materials around the world is causing global warming and scars our planet. By using your cycle you are reducing your carbon footprint. Be green, keep it clean and purchase a Vintage Cycle!
Full of life
Everyone wants to be fit and healthy, and cycling is well known to be one of the best forms of exercise. Not only that, we've heard from the experts that a bicycle is designed to minimize stress, which we all need from time-to-time. When you're exercising, do it in style with a Vintage Cycle, and no-one will call you tubby anymore!
Value for money
Our Vintage Cycles are excellent value for money. Enjoy style, speed, transport and fun for a fraction of the price of a new bicycle. We've been looking into it for you and a new bicycle of a similar standard will cost approximately five to ten times more than one of our pre-loved Vintage Cycles.
Free transportation

The above screen shot is of the relationship report from the Individual Access Project the Lime Class performed during ITEC 3650 in Spring 2012.
Reflection on the process of making this Access Database.
Please note the one to many relationship between Projects in the Project table and Project in the Billing Table. There is also a one to many relationship between EmployeeID in the Employess Table and the EmployeeID in the Billing table. This makes the Billing table a joined table since more than one Access Table has a many relationship to it.
Professor David Luneau did an excellent job in teaching the Lime Class how to understand, work with and build Access Databases. I had taught myself Access 2003 using Professor Teaches software, but still had some gaps in my understanding of what should and what should not be done in the process of building and maintaining an Access database. We learned how to use Access 2007, I have Access 2010 on my home laptop and my office desktop computers. It is slightly different between the two versions, but not nearly as much as 2003 differs from both 2007 and 2010.
Tables are the data storage areas of access databases.
The above screen shot shows the Tables, Queries, Forms, Reports and some of the Macros built in this project. Tables are used to store the data that Queries, Forms and Reports draw from for their answers. Be mindful to keep the information unique and does not duplicate. Use separate spreadsheets for each subset of data and use of queries to gather that information as needed.
The above screen shot shows the Property Sheet and the Field Properties screens which allow different options for modifying the able in specific ways to be selected.
The above screen shot illustrates how useful an input mask such as (!\(999)'000\-0000.0;_) for Home Phone number formatting can prove to be. Data Type gives meaning to the information provided, such as numbers or text.
Queries are the questions we ask of the tables in a database. Reports draw from queries to give specific answers to these questions. Think of queries and reports are the way we get information out of a database while tables and forms are the manner we put information into the database. It's important to note that forms do not store the data entered into them, that is the job of the table(s) that they are linked to.
The above screen shot illustrates how the Billing table forms a "join table" between the Projects and Employees tables in multiple one to many relationships. In the queries properties sheet we also see under Total: that there is a Group by, First and Sum options available to us. These come in handy in drilling down the information we need displayed in the query.
The above screen shot shows a Date being pulled from the Billing Table, being sorted in ascending order and the Criteria being "Between 02/1/2011 and 02/29/2011". Criteria is very helpful for pulling specific information that we are looking for in a query. "If Null" is another helpful Criteria command should you wish to locate any record with a null value in the field that you specify. It is also handy to check or not check show, not checking it will hide the field in the query, but will still run it.
Forms feed the data keyed into them into the table(s) linked with them, and it is important to note that forms do not store information in themselves directly. Forms are just a nice way to organize the data we want to enter for end users.
The above screen shot shows the Billing Form in layout view.
The above screen shot shows the Billing Form in form view. It is interesting to note the difference between these two views. Form View includes the Property Sheet which gives us the ability to reconfigure the Format, Data, Event, Other and All elements of the form. We can even lengthen or shorten the fields height and width in Form View.
The above screen shot is of the Employee Hierarchical Form in Layout View. We can see something special about this form, in that it has a secondary form embedded within it for Project Hours Billed by Employee. This is what makes it Hierarchical, Employee Billing Hours Form is the parent of the Project Hours Billed by Employee Form.
The above screen shot is of the Employee Hierarchical Form in Form View. We can see here that there are Command Buttons at the top of the form under the Header. In Form View we also see the tools to build these buttons three icons to the right of the highlighted cursor button. These make navigating and operating within the record much easier for the end user to work with.
Reports are the exported information drawn from queries based on the information stored in tables in Access. An example of such a report is as follows:
In Layout View we have access to the Property Sheet and the ability to format the columns and cells of the report to appear as we would like them to as a paper document.
Macros come in very handy and are essential in order to get Queries to work properly in the Switchboard. In the switchboard you can't run Queries directly in Access 2010. You must first build a macro to run the Query and then go into the Switchboard and display the Macro for the Query to be able to run Queries successfully from the Switchboard.

From the road it is signposted but otherwise it is difficult to know that it exists. The cemetery is hidden from view from the Falklands settlements of Darwin and Goose Green, at the request of the residents.
Today, however, the Duke of York, who served as a Navy pilot during the Falklands war, will make a point of visiting the Argentine cemetery, 60 miles from Port Stanley, and lay a wreath.
His simple act of remembrance is a visible gesture of reconciliation 20 years after the war. No British VIP made an official visit to the cemetery until 2000. Ministers have since laid wreaths but the Prince will be the first member of the Royal Family to do so.
Islanders see it as a further step towards rapprochement with Argentina and part of an attempt to ensure democratic government is maintained in Buenos Aires.
The Falklands council recently approved an Argentine designed memorial for the cemetery. However, a compromise had to be reached on the size because it was considered too garish.
About 750 Argentines died in the conflict, most of them at sea. Half of the graves of the young conscripts are unidentified. Some of the white wooden crosses carry the words: "An Argentine Soldier Known unto God."
But it was not just a faceless enemy. Others bear names like Alberto, Raul and Guillermo. The graves are decorated with rosary beads. There is a photograph of one young man in his best suit and another in a bow tie.
Explaining his action, the Prince said he believed it was important to pay his respects to all those who died during the campaign.
"I lost friends and colleagues and I know what it must be like for the great many Argentines who have shared the same experience."
There has been no formal protest by the islanders. Patrick Watts, a resident and the former head of Falklands Radio, said: "I think the majority will feel it does not indicate Prince Andrew is pro Argentina or that he believes they have any right to the Falklands. So they will see no real harm in it."
Today, the sheep shearing shed, where the Argentine prisoners of war were housed, still bears the painted letters PoW.
In the community hall there is a framed letter from Margaret Thatcher sent on Jan 14, 1983 thanking the residents for her visit. Most of the residents at the time of the war have moved. However, among those that remain, there is resentment.
Bobby Smith, 47, a shepherd, who was one of those held prisoner by the Argentinians, did not approve of the cemetery.
The decision to lay a wreath "was a matter for Prince Andrew" but the cemetery "is far too close", he said.
A shearer, Steven Dickson, 28, agreed. "The cemetery should never have been put here. They should have sent the bodies back to Argentina."
Government officials in Port Stanley said offers were made after the war to repatriate the Argentine bodies. However, they were refused because Argentina wanted to keep them on the islands. "They felt it was their bit of soil," said an islander.
The main focus of the Prince's visit is Remembrance Sunday when he will take the salute and lay a wreath at the main war memorial in Port Stanley. Two hundred British veterans, who are re-visiting the battlefields, will join him.

AFPAK and more
It seems that Afghanistan will have to vote again as the first result was 'wrong'. This happens in the EU too. For example the voters in France, Holland, Denmark and Ireland have all had to do it again. The reasons are very different I hear you say, well if you insist. However, do remember that no EU country that first voted yes has been asked to vote again. Is this a fiddle funny or what? Election fiddles take many forms, Hamid Karzai has been caught out on the classic election fiddle but there are far better ways of working than this old style. He should take a leaf out of the Nulabour book on how to do things and introduce postal voting. The Nulabour run North Birmingham postal vote scam shows the way.
In the 2004 local government elections, massive fraud occurred, mostly as a consequence of the postal voting system. Richard Mawrey QC famously stated at the Birmingham trial that the electoral fraud in the case 'would disgrace a banana republic.' More than 20,000 postal voters dropped off the register in the wards being investigated. Aspects of fraud have included: intimidation, a pillar box set on fire by party supporters who feared it might contain votes for the opposition, members of ethnic communities threatened with deportation if they didn't vote a particular way, children paid to collect ballot packs that hadn't been pushed fully through letterboxes, large numbers of voters having their ballot papers stolen or taken away for 'safe keeping' and the creation of fictitious electors' registration. The fact that ballot envelopes are easily distinguishable in the post can also be an open invitation for their theft. How can the police investigate all the complaints? They can't, so people get away with it. You have to know how and when to petition if you suspect fraud and must either fund your case or obtain legal aid. Hence, only the worst cases are investigated.
But postal voting was introduced when none other than Tony Blair had his hand on the tiller. So if it's good enough for the great helmsman then it's good enough for the rest of the world. Mind you others would disagree, see HERE And also see HERE
Now we take a look at the way the recent referendum in Ireland was run, just throw money at one side and they win. It really is very simple! To paraphrase arch EU watcher Christopher Booker, this election broke rules you did not know existed! The scale of the cheek bordered on classic fraud, but was not. That's the smart thing about election fiddlers, they get away with it. Hamid Karzai is a fool, an expensive joke, we should no longer throw money or the lives of our troops his way.

Facebook testing location-specific segment of app
Facebook is testing a new area of its app called "Today In," a mix of city-specific events, announcements and local news. Trial cities include New Orleans, Louisiana; Olympia, Washington; Billings, Montana; Binghamton, New York; Peoria, Illinois and Little Rock, Arkansas. Users in test markets will be able to access the feature through the bottom-right menu button (the three horizontal lines) in the core Facebook app. The move comes as part of Facebook's Journalism Project Initiative, a program the company announced in January 2017 that seeks to build out local news partnerships. – TechCrunch
Google's Search Throne Topples
Google's share of search ad revenue is at a decline, according to a new report by Forrester. Digital ad revenue is expected to generate $85 billion this year, nearly half of it from paid search advertising—and most of that, in turn, spent with Google. Yet the overall search market on mobile is growing, and that growth isn't going to Google but instead to rivals such as Amazon, Pinterest, and Apple. As offline dollars shift to mobile, the search category itself will continue to grow, but unlike desktop—where Google had little competition—mobile has a number of niche players who are capturing growth. – AdAge
Twittter Launches Updated Reporting Tools
On the heels of #WomenBoycottTwitter late December, Twitter has given a facelift to their reporting process. Offically ruled out on January 10th, users can know see the status of their report, play-by-play. Users will now see an in-app notification of any submitted reports, the results of the reported tweets, and what rules the user violated. Along with the changes, Twitter also added new tools so users can see why their account was suspended, including an email listing the violations. – Digital Trends

Comic book conventions, or Comic-Cons, are, without a doubt, a haven for geeks, nerds and super-fans, regardless of what it is that they love.
The honest truth about Comic-Cons, whether it be the largest or the smallest, is that those who attend throw themselves into what they love with what seems like reckless abandon. It would be strange to see a Klingon walking down Summit Street, but at Comic-Cons, it happens.
People of all varieties dress as their favorite characters. Costumes, makeup, facial appliances and even colored contact lenses are used to transform them into these characters. This form of entertainment is known as "cosplay," short for costume play.
Perhaps the most impressive element of these conventions is the widespread acceptance one sees.
One of my friends is a huge fan of the "Back to the Future" franchise, so he dressed as Doc Brown at the last convention we attended together.
That particular franchise, surprisingly, is not seen often at conventions. It is far more likely that the cosplay seen will be based on "Star Trek," "Star Wars" or the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the occasional DC Comics or "Doctor Who" character thrown in for good measure.
However, at this particular Comic-Con, my friend ran into another individual dressed as Marty McFly. The pair didn't know each other prior to that even, but after they met in the last aisle, they became instant friends through their shared love of the 1980s movie trilogy.
Not only were they able to bond, but others who saw them together were able to interact with them in a positive way. Some even took pictures.
Perhaps the best part about Comic-Cons is that you can be literally anything you want to be.
Steampunk Iron Man? A Dalek in the form of a ballroom gown? A family of Supers?
All of these options not only are acceptable, but also are actual costumes I have seen at various Comic-Cons in the Midwest.
Whether they were professional looking or not didn't really matter — only the enthusiasm of the wearer.
And there isn't anything wrong with coming in plain clothes, either.
As an individual who struggled with body image issues and embracing the love I had for geek culture, seeing others who are as passionate about the things they love was eye-opening.
While it might seem on the outside that these conventions could be a mecca for fanboys who spend time arguing about whether "Star Trek" or "Star Wars" is better, they also serve as safe havens for those who love all things sci-fi and comic books.
There is no way to adequately explain how accepting people at Comic-Cons are of each other and other franchises that are not their favorite.
It just has to be seen to be believed.

What's your connection to the Coffs Coast?
My dad moved the family to Coffs Harbour when I was a few months old. Moving to a new town is a huge decision and at the time, Dad had a couple of different work possibilities on offer. However, when breaking these down into work/life opportunities, Coffs Harbour came up as the number one family friendly destination to relocate. In the years to come, it was plain to see that Dad had made the right choice, becoming a successful small business owner spanning more than 30 years, as Peter Booth's TV & Electronic Services.
Keen to follow my Dad's success and provide a wonderful childhood for my children, as he did for my brother and I, Coffs Harbour was always going to be my number one spot to establish my own business once returning from university in Sydney with a Teaching Degree in Early Childhood.
Having raised nine children in the local area, my husband, Matt, and I have worn many different hats with many community groups, from little athletics, soccer, football, board riders, basketball, physical culture and the Coffs Harbour Surf Club. It's safe to say our lives are pretty busy!
You're the owner of a successful child care business, 3 Bears Cottage. Tell us about it?
We are a family run business and have been locally owned for over 20 years.
Having six children of my own, who at various times have all been enrolled at the service, I worked sometimes 10 hour days in the early years of establishment and of course, had a great understanding of what busy families wanted and needed.
As we focus on the needs of the whole family, we don't believe in closing over school holidays, as parents still need to work during these times and finding alternative child care arrangements can bring many challenges for busy families. So, we operate 52 weeks a year.
We also have eliminated the morning stress put on families rushing to get ready for work on time, by providing the children with all their necessities for their day at the service. These services include: nappies, bed linen, hats, sunscreen, drinks, and what sets us apart from many other services is our nutritionally designed and cooked meals prepared by qualified chefs from the Surf Club Restaurant and Bar delivered daily to the service. No more need for busy parents to worry about providing their children with healthy lunch box choices. We've got that covered!
The whole family is welcomed to our service, by accepting children from six weeks to school age. We eliminate the need for parents to make a number of drop-offs in the mornings to various services. We accommodate this diverse range of ages by having two baby rooms, one toddler room and one preschool room.
How do you create a positive environment for your team?
Great educators are the backbone of my business. I have been consistently reminded that as a successful business owner for more than 20 years, "happy educators make for happier children and happy children means happy families". I am always reflecting on my staffing practices and continually reinventing these procedures to maintain a passionate team. Some of our initiatives include: granting our educators with additional paid time off to celebrate their birthdays, pursue professional projects and volunteer for local charities.
What do you enjoy most about what you do?
The energy and enthusiasm of young children is what drew me to the industry in the first place. The knowledge or peace of mind that I can contribute to their growth and make a difference in their lives and their families is what keeps me here. Working to empower families in their roles as parents is the greatest gift I have been given, as parents will always have the greatest impact on the lives of their own children.
In terms of marketing, what activities do you find most successful for your business?
Identifying our unique position in the industry, by offering products and services that others may not and highlighting our long exceptional service to the Coffs Harbour area are the aspects that we chose to market.
We have found the best avenue for this has been through FOCUS, as we are able to convey these messages to potential customers by telling our stories and showcasing the beautiful centre we have.
Our target audience is families of all ages, from those expecting to grandparents, and with FOCUS making its name as a guide to local living for the area, freely distributed to thousands of households, it has made good business sense to partner with them as our prime marketing avenue.
What is the best advice you could give other women looking to succeed in their chosen field?
Firstly, I think the key to running any successful business is to create a team that will genuinely care for all those involved; being driven to make good things happen for other people is extremely important. Values like honesty, trustworthiness, loyalty, hard work, harmony, tolerance and courtesy are just some common qualities I admire when looking for staff.
Secondly, setting goals so you have a sense of purpose and direction in your business. Furthermore, when you do set goals, be flexible, because your plans could change as the needs in your community changes, without any warning. Learning to be agile is crucial in running a small business.
Keeping kids and their parents happy would play a key role in your organisation. What's your approach to getting this right?
My knowledge of children – parenting, along with my qualifications and years of industry experience definitely helps. However, more importantly over the years, my role in early education has taught me to become flexible and to bring a sense of humour to each and every day in the workplace.
Educators employed at 3 Bears have an obvious passion for children and are calm in their ability to deal with every situation. They are trained to create a safe, happy and stimulating environment, where children can play and develop physically, socially, creatively and to encourage communication and listening skills
I treat and run my business like a family. I want our families and employees to feel like they are part of a bigger family and as a result, many of our families have built strong relationships with one another, by lending support through exchange of parenting tips. This has been a very rewarding to experience.
Many BBQs and children's birthday parties have been planned and shared outside the service over the years. And we look forward to these shared memories continuing well into the future.
Thanks Renae.

Following on from yesterdays post about diet,
Its another question we see a lot
Whats the best exercise to do for weight loss ?
So this is a subject that people very easily get on their soap box about, some are adamant its weight lifting, some swear by running and long slow duration exercises, others chosen method are circuits and "metabolic conditioning"
In reality the latest studies have shown they all have their benefits and can all be useful tools for weight management, the most important aspects to making an exercise programme work is consistency, progression and enjoyment.
In order to be consistent you must enjoy what you're doing, If you find your workout regime overly torturous or generally boring you wont keep it up (similar to the reasons most diets don't work), its also important to have someone to be accountable to and to support you when it gets tough to keep you on track.
The issue with being in charge of your own fitness regime is its very easy to not be progressive, always lifting the same weights, running at the same speed on a treadmill, always using the same machines etc… having someone to motivate you and push you to do more will lead to your body constantly having to adapt to new stimulus leading to better results when it comes to weight loss.
You need to have fun with your fitness regime, whats the point of having a nice body if you're miserable… not saying it should be easy but it shouldn't be a process you hate, an easy way to have fun with training is to train in a group of like minded people and also to have a laugh when you're doing it !
If you're looking for ALL of this, We have you covered … this is what sweat is all about

20 windmills stand as witnesses to the island's large production of cereals exported over the centuries, giving the island the nickname of the "breadbasket of the Azores"
By Leila Monteiro Lins | Photos by Teresa Oliveira
Classified by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve, the island of Graciosa is the second smallest of the archipelago and also the one with the least imposing terrain, with several flat areas and smooth hills. The beautiful scenery of the island justifies its name: Graciosa (charming). This reserve is a nesting area of international importance for its rare species of birds.
Ihéu da Baleia (Baleia Islet) :
It has crystaline waters and is protected by rocks. The famous whale shaped islet lies next to Ponte da Barca.
Regional Food
The popular queijadas of Graciosa (Graciosa custards) was inspired by the centuries-old recipe of the Portuguese custard tart. Other local delicacies include cavacas, escomilhas, capuchas and pasteis de arroz.

A big mistake people are making is that they think they learn from experience… you don't!
People that divorce will keep having bad relationship.
People that fail in business keep failing in business.
People don't learn from mistakes. And, it applies to parents too!
Parents do not learn from their mistakes or their parents' mistakes, and so parents do not improve as parents.
I know it is shocking BUT it is true.
Now what we do know is that parents love their children.
When you love someone you want to do for them what you consider is good.
And that is the MISTAKE.
What you consider is good for you is NOT what ACTUALLY is good for your child.
You don't know – no one gave you any play book on how to raise kids.
And that's why the GP Parent Academy exists – we supply the play book for raising children…

Hamilton in Federalist No. 17 underestimates the power and scope of men's natural ambitions. This is strange for of all the founders Hamilton seems to be the best study in the ambitions of men; he understood what drove others and later in his career he demonstrated that he knew exactly how to manipulate and play the game of politics. So why he was so blind to the scope of a natural ambitious federal authority in this essay is beyond me. Perhaps he knew that the anti-federalists had a great point here and this was his attempt to down play it.
He states plainly that the argument that the federal authority under the proposed constitution would "absorb" state authority and carry out those functions is ridiculous. No ambitious man would ever undertake to undermine the sovereign duties of the states. Obviously he never met an FDR, LBJ or a Bush Republican or any of the currently Democratic controlled congress and executive. These are the very things our politicians are doing, they are using the federal government to carry out more and more functions that were clearly reserved to the states.
For Hamilton the ambitions of designing politicians are simple and few: "commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion." But if he could image a world and society in which there are no limits to intrusion he could easily have foreseen a world and society where ambitious men, through the coercive power of the national government have taken control of nearly everything from abortion, healthcare, state lands and DUI limits. They rob millions of hard working, law-abiding citizens to pay for programs that promote federal intrusion into the states.
To reassure anti-federalists, Hamilton argues that "it is a known fact in human nature that its affections are commonly weak in proportion to the distance or diffusiveness of the object." In other words, don't worry, the real power will still rest with the states because the power is close to the people. Unfortunately with the abolition of state representation in the national government through the 17th Amendment that statement of Hamilton is no longer relevent. Power is concentrated farther from the people creating a situation that Thomas Jefferson bemoaned in the list of grievances against the King in the Declaration of Independence:
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
The seat of power, from the vantage point of most Americans is distant, unusual and uncomfortable and it is time we restored home rule and patched up the gaping hole in the Constitution ripped out by ambitious men who have done the unthinkable even for Hamilton: usurped the prerogative and power of state and local governments in the name of progress and security.
Throughout this essay Hamilton claims that it is far easier for states to encroach upon federal jurisdiction under the Constitution, which for the first 100+ years was true. But he never dreamed that the states would voluntarily give up their right of representation in the national government. But since they have the federal government has grown in power and authority and I now pay, like a slave, 45% of my earned income to my master, the government.
As Hamilton points out in this essay the answer to balancing out federal and state authority, thus regaining essential freedoms socially and economically rests with the people. For the states "will generally possess the confidence of and good will of the people, and with so important a support will be able effectually to oppose all encroachments of the national government."
We must REPEAL the 17th! We must RESTORE state authority! We must RENEW the sovereignty of the people! If not, the tyrannous shadow of the national government will choke out the light of liberty in the name of security.
