Brother MFC-5890CN Printer Driver Download
Brother MFC-5890CN Printer Driver Download– There's developing enthusiasm for inkjet holding nothing back ones that can deal with A3 archives and also A4 and Brother has a few models that can do this, pretty much. Pretty much in light of the fact that in this model, the MFC-5890CN, A3 bolster just reaches out to printing. The machine's scanner is an A4 unit, so A3 outputs and duplicates are out.As you may expect with the bigger paper limit, this is not a little machine. Be that as it may, Brother has figured out how to style it so it doesn't take up significantly more work area space than a run of the mill A4 unit. Running down through and through, the machine has a genuinely tall Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) on top, with a fold-out food plate, which ventures at a jaunty point when open.Beneath that, at the front, is an inclined control board with all the general controls. From the left there are committed fax catches, a number cushion for dialing, the machine's LCD show, mode catches, menu route lastly four catches for mono and shading replicating, work scratch off and control spare mode.As is presently entirely normal in Brother machines, the LCD presentation is twofold width, which is especially useful when printing from memory cards – all the basic sorts are bolstered – as should be obvious a thumbnail of the picture and a menu of alternatives in the meantime.The single paper plate can hold 150 sheets of paper and has no single-sheet food worked in, yet has an extendable base and top spread, so you just need to develop it when printing A3 paper. On the off chance that a large portion of your work is A4 or littler, the plate doesn't extend from the front of the MFC-5890CN by any stretch of the imagination.Sibling doesn't appear to have worked out yet where associating attachments are expectedly situated. The telephone line and handset connectors are at the back of the left-hand side, alongside the mains attachment. USB and Ethernet attachments are tidier, yet less advantageous, as you need to pivot up the scanner area and reeve the links through a channel to a position simply behind the control board, inside the machine.The organization improves the ink cartridges, every one of the four of which slide in behind a flip-down spread to one side of the paper plate. A coincidental charging cycle then has the machine prepared for printing inside a few minutes.Packaged programming incorporates Brother's MFL-Pro programming suite, which handles checking and transferring of pictures from memory cards, and also printing and OCR, by means of Nuance PaperPort 11SE.As regular, print speeds seem to have been picked from the ether and Brother cites 35ppm for dark print and 28ppm for shading. Indeed, even in draft mode which, by chance, delivers preferred print over a few and is presumably usable for inside documentation, we can't perceive how you could achieve those velocities.In our tests, a five-page dark content print took 1min 14secs, proportional to 4.05ppm and when we ran the 20-page test, which removes any preparing time, the rate just rose to 4.53ppm, around one 6th of the evaluated greatest. Our five-page content and shading representation print took 1mins 55secs, or 2.61ppm, so for all the standard, plain A4 pages the MFC-5890CN is slower than a few of its immediate rivals.The machine is somewhat snappier, relatively, when printing A3 pages. A five-page content print finished in under two minutes and the identical content and shading design page took just shy of three minutes.Photograph prints were more on a standard with opponent machines, as well. The Brother printer created a 15 x 10cm photograph in its most noteworthy photograph mode in 3mins 46secs, however in the default Photo mode it took only 1min 39secs and there's next to no obvious distinction between the two. Prints from a SD card and from the machine's PictBridge attachment each took 1min 42secs. A full-drain A3 photograph took a recess inciting 14mins 30secs.Print quality is sensible for content, with just a little roughness obvious around bended characters. Shading representation likewise duplicated sensibly well, as well, however without much life to the hues. Enlistment of dark content over shading is great.A solitary page duplicate from the scanner glass demonstrates some loss of shading, making the duplicates look much more flat, yet the outcome is usable. Photograph prints are all around recreated, with normal hues and abnormal amounts of subtle element, however they are not exactly as sensible by and large as the best offerings from Canon or HP.Checking photographs to a PC demonstrates the same helping of shade as with duplicates, however the scanner head's shockingly high optical determination of 1,200 x 2,400ppi means subtle element levels are great.The four ink cartridges are the main consumables on this machine and we discovered them at costs which give costs per page of 2.68p for dark and 6.10p for shading. The dark print expense is about normal for a machine in this class, however the shading expense is two or three pence per sheet lower than the vast majority of its opponents, giving great economy, generally.

[VIDEO] This documentary is close to 20 minutes. I have yet to watch it, but I will share this description:
A production of the Northern Nigeria Information service in 1959 presents "Giant in the Sun" a short documentary showing the foundation laid down for the development of the Northern region just before Nigeria's independence in 1960.This is believed to be one of the earliest coloured film documentary shot in Nigeria and one of the best to come out from Africa.Nigeria will surely survive and recover her past lost glory by effectively and efficiently utilizing her abundant human and natural resources.I post this realizing that as a man of African descent, this blog generally doesn't talk about Africa a lot. Perhaps when things in Africa are bad do I start talking about it. It's probably about time to look at the good things of Africa, even if those good things were in the past.
In 1959, Nigeria wasn't yet independent from the British Empire. I would be very curious what this film documents of the time before independence.

Use a Web Designer for Web Design
A graphic designer should not be used as a web designer. A graphic designer is an expert in print design, they know their PMS colours and usually work to a fixed brochure layout. Graphic designers will often use a program such as InDesign which is not used in the web design industry and does not give all the tools of a web design product.
Web Design Requirements
A web designer must work to screen resolutions that are varied for each user, not a fixed paper size. There are a limited number of fonts to work with and if you want to use extra fonts they are generally created as graphics and increase the load time of your website and thus slow it down. The webpage design impacts the speed of your website and thus the user experience, and whether people will come back. In web design colours do not cost extra and do not use PMS colours. Web design has a direct impact on SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and if you do not optimise your SEO you will not get potential users finding your website through search engines like Google. If users are not finding your website it does not matter how pretty your website is.
Why use WebIT for Web Design
WebIT are experts in Web Design and all too often we have been supplied designs that simply do not work for the web.
WebIT is often asked to review websites created by print designers and although they look good and are very appealing to some users, we often find they cannot be viewed properly in common screen resolutions, or with different browsers. Or, they load a lot slower than they should, or even worse cannot be found by search engines and thus the client has trouble getting viewers to their website.
As web designers WebIT understands the programming behind the website and designs accordingly. WebIT overcome the obstacles and still provides a great looking website design.

(CNN) -- In an audio message released Sunday, a speaker identified as al Qaeda's second-in-command offers condolences to the Turkish people on the loss of nine activists in a May 31 Israeli raid on an aid flotilla headed for Gaza.
The incident badly frayed Israel's once-close relationship with Turkey. The speaker, who was identified as Ayman al-Zawahiri, said in the message the incident underscores the need for Turkey to stop cooperating with or recognizing Israel.
"Change will come when the Turkish people demand that their government ceases all aspects of cooperation with Israel and stop recognizing Israel and when they ask their government to stop sending their (Turkish) armed forces to fight the Muslims in Afghanistan and end their battle against Islam and the Sharia," al-Zawahiri said.
The message is identified as being a production of As-Sahab production, a company typically handles al Qaeda communications. Although CNN cannot independently authenticate the audio message, it appeared on various radical Islamist websites known for posting similiar statements, messsages and recruitment videos by al Qaeda figures.
In the message, titled "A Message to the Turkish Muslim people," the speaker said the blockade of Gaza by Israel "is another form of the criminal acts waged against the Muslim world by the Crusader Zionist alliance."
"We must change this disgusting reality that we live in," he said. "This will not take place by sending (a) few relief aid ships or starting one demonstration or another."
"The Turkish people need to restore the glorious role of the Ottoman Empire when they used to defend every Muslim land from all outsiders," he said. "The role of the Turkish Muslim people cannot be minimized into an aid ship or two that are being sent to Gaza."
Israel has maintained its troops used force on the activists after they were attacked by those on board one boat in the flotilla, the Mavi Marmara. Soldiers were attacked with knives, metal poles and other objects, Israeli officials have said. But passengers on board the boat insist Israeli troops fired on them without provocation.
In the Sunday message, the speaker said Turkey condemns the "Israeli crimes against our Muslim brothers in Gaza, but still they commit the exact crimes against the Muslims in Afghanistan ... The Turkish people must stand up and be responsible for their government's action in recognizing those who violated and stole the land in Palestine and end the collaboration with the crusaders in killing Muslims in Afghanistan."
The last message purporting to be from al-Zawahiri was on July 27, when he mourned the loss of al Qaeda senior commander Sheikh Mustafa Abu Yazid, killed along with family members. He also called on Muslims to unite behind al Qaeda and wage jihad against their governments if they want change.
CNN's Saad Abedine contributed to this report.

Two of the great Solemnities of the Lord during Ordinary Time are celebrated this month: the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Corpus Christi. During this year's Sunday Liturgical Cycle "B" we read from St. Mark's account of the "Institution" narrative. Any of the "Institution" narratives should speak right to our hearts, but especially the heart of priests. It is the priest of the Sacred Order who confects the Holy Eucharist in the person of Jesus Christ, a gift we can't possibly comprehend this side of heaven. While it is true we celebrate "our" priesthood on the day of our Sacred Ordination and Holy Thursday, but shouldn't the Solemnity of Corpus Christi speak specifically to our celibate hearts?
St. Mark states in verse 22 of chapter 14: "take it; this is my body." Other evangelists will add, "which is given for you." My brothers, that is not only Jesus Pure Body, offered, but our bodies, as well! I am sure all of you have naturally noticed we do not say "take this and eat for this is Jesus' Body given for you." While it is very true it is Jesus's Body-His Real Presence, which we celebrate today with beautiful solemnity and procession, but it is also our broken, sinful bodies offered in sacrifice as priest/victim for the salvation of human persons. We give up a wife and children, not because they are bad, but because they are very good and make ourselves "eunuch's for the kingdom."
March 10, 1982 to July 21, 1982 Pope St. John Paul II delivered 14 general audiences at the Vatican discussing the beauty of authentic celibacy for the Kingdom of Heaven as part of the teaching called Theology of the Body. St. John Paul quotes the Gospel of St. Matthew 19:21 and expounds on the gift of celibacy to the priest from God and from the priest to the Church. He states that we are freely foregoing the beauty of earthly marriage and sexual relations as a sign of that state in which men and women "neither marry or are given in marriage." We "passover" the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony in anticipation of the "Marriage of the Lamb." We celibates are truly married – a marriage of communion of Christ and His Church. We are given the great gift of "original solitude," which preceded "original unity" in the Garden of Eden, but, at times, many times, the ache of original solitude will subjectively feel lonely or a burden. Objectively, the ache is a gift – our hearts need to be purified to see it as such. Just like so many hearts need to be purified of skepticism, doubt and cynicism to see Jesus Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist. This is when we shouldn't turn to sin or self-pity, but to the words of Institution-take my body given up for you. We can pray this to the Father, for the Church, ourselves, for the priesthood, which needs sacrificial purification and intercession from us priests, as well as the laity. Have you sacrificed, fasted, prayed and given alms for struggling brothers lately or yourself?
The Church is our spouse, beautiful and without blemish on one hand, broken, sinful, battered and bruised on the other. What a gift She is to us! So many brothers have left Her only seeing Her bruises, but not seeing Her beauty and dignity. Is She the body of Christ or isn't She? Which is it? She definitely is. She needs our love, our healing, our embraces, our protection, our reverence and respect, our sacrifices and she needs our priesthood and victimhood. The Church doesn't need our constant gripping, complaining and backbiting. She needs our humility and our poverty as Christ gave Himself for Her. We brothers are celebrating that Heaven is real and Jesus has risen and our celibacy is a sign of that reality. How we celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass should reflect our spousal union (love) with Christ and His Church. The Sacraments should be offered with great love and reverence, not hastily or robotically. As a husband offering himself to his wife, she shouldn't be rushed or taken for granted, as well. Which is more important to us – the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church or the incessant meetings, and administrative duties to which we have to attend? Celibacy, lived properly, takes Divine transformation, not just human formation. We must be able to live this freely and this takes healing and deliverance from our sinful bondage. The remedy for this Christ gave us is prayer and fasting. Obstacles to real transformation and authentic living of celibacy are: unconfessed sins, unhealed wounds and unforgiveness of offenses we have received from others and ourselves. We are so dignified; we should and need to be merciful to ourselves and allow ourselves time everyday in front of the healing Presence of our Eucharistic Lord.
Corpus Christi is indeed about Jesus Real Presence and should be celebrated as such, but also, we priests, battered and bruised, need to celebrate the authentic beauty of the priesthood, because it is us, with the Descent of the Holy Spirit, who make Jesus Truly Present in the Most Holy Eucharist – Corpus Christi! This is My Body given for you!
Father Tom DeSimone was ordained a priest on May 13, 2006, the Feast day of Our Lady of Fatima. He most recently served as Parochial Vicar of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in White Plains, NY. He joins the staff of the Theology of the Body Institute on a three year leave from the Archdiocese of New York, to become the Institute's first full time spiritual advisor and Director of Clergy Development.

text: TV / VideoFirst Mover: Randy FalcoUnivision's new CEO says it's time to embrace the realities of the Hispanic media marketplaceBy Adweek Staff|October 17, 2011 ShareBy Adweek Staff|October 17, 2011 Share You don't have loads of Spanish-language media experience under your belt. ¿Habla Español? [Laughs] I don't speak Spanish. I understand enough of it, having spent some time running Telemundo, and I put in a lot of time in Spain during the Barcelona Olympics. But I don't pretend to speak Spanish, and I don't want anyone to think that I can. When our English-language executives and Spanish-language executives get together, we all speak the universal language of television. Do you feel like you're at a remove from the audience you serve because you're not fully immersed in the culture you represent? You know, it's funny, but it doesn't all come down to language. It's not a dodge: I think language is important, but the culture is so much more important, and you need to understand the differences not only between the general-market culture and our audience but also within the Hispanic community as a whole. The Hispanic population in this country is not a monolith. When you're in Miami, the newscast is going to be different from the newscast in Los Angeles. The U.S. Hispanic population has grown 43 percent in 10 years, yet media agencies still treat those consumers like a niche segment. You would think the very sophisticated media agency and CMO community would see this tsunami coming and be able to react to it faster than they have. It really is a conservative culture. The job is to get advertisers and brands awakened to the fact that Hispanics are a $1 trillion economy, representing 50 million people, and their budgets should reflect the same thing. In other words, 15 to 20 percent of an advertiser's budget should be set aside for Hispanic media every single year. One in six Americans are Hispanic. In another 40 years it'll be one in three. So what's the big stumbling block? The ads themselves have to be different. When you do a car commercial targeting Hispanics, it has to feature the entire family, because when they shop for a car they shop as a family. On the general-market side, a prospective car buyer will have done all his homework on the Internet. They make their decisions and they go on in and they buy a car as fast as they can. And that's just not the way it's done on the Hispanic side and you have to be sensitive to that. There's a dearth of programming on the general-entertainment side. The buying community tells the advertisers they'll find all the Hispanic viewers they need to reach with George Lopez. You know, just check the box. Well, that's ridiculous. Forty-two of the top 50 shows for Hispanics 18-49 are on Univision. We have a 70 percent unduplicated audience and there isn't any other network in all of television that comes close to that. So the most efficient way you can reach Hispanics in this country is Univision. It's one-stop shopping. Your upfront numbers seem to suggest you're making some headway. True. In the past several months we have activated 150 new brands. In this upfront alone, we added another 45 brands that have never been on Univision before. To me, that suggests that maybe the agencies and the CMOs and the brands are actually starting to get it. You may have lucked out with your new gig: Your tenure at Univision begins as America develops its latest crush on soccer. I think we have a tiger by the tail here with soccer. For the first time, it seems the sport is really taking off in this country, and you'll see that reflected in the rights fees for the [2018 and 2022] World Cup. ESPN and Fox are going to make unprecedented bids for the English-language rights. That's how you know soccer is no longer a niche sport.Continue ReadingPages: 1 2 Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kr2VUA copy Adweek Adweek

My life is crazy busy this week. I have a friend coming into town on Friday to stay with me because a friend of ours is getting married on Sunday. I'm running around my condo like a crazy person trying to get it clean.
I also have a lot of what I call my life "side work" to catch up on. Basically, I (after seeing inspiration on Pinterest) decided to keep a little planner, or tickler file, or whatever you want to call it so I remember to do those little things that need doing... like scheduling dentist appointments, cleaning out my freezer, etc. I figured this would be useful for me considering I have the worst case of ADD in the history of science. But no... not so much. All it has done is create a running list of "side work" that I never completed on the day they were supposed to be completed. The list just keeps growing and growing and growing.
Sound crazy?
I absolutely 100% am.
BUT today... I completed:
Clean/organize under kitchen sink
Clean/organize pantry
Make Halloween wreath
Keep in mind, I typically only have one "side work" item listed on my planner for the day and sometimes only one every other day. Yet here is the list I have piled up from procrastinating or daydreaming or forgetfulness or just plain laziness:
Clean linen closet
Change air filter (I keep forgetting to look and see what size I need)
Clean dresser drawers
Purchase new bed sheets (anyone know any great websites with good deals?)
Clean/organize coat closet
Purchase vanity stool
Order business cards for Bloggy Boot Camp (this one I'd better hurry along!)
Create Fall/Winter clothes shopping list
Create list of gifts/crafts for Christmas shopping
Clean oven
Schedule pest control appointment
There just aren't enough hours in the day....
Speaking of Bloggy Boot Camp, I'm starting to freak. Did I really think this decision through? Am I going to look like a complete idiot at this thing? Do I have to go to all of the sessions? What on earth should I pack? And the whole business cards thing... ummm, I don't even know where to begin. I may be way in over my head. I hope I'm wrong.
because I'm so behind on everything and 'Blog' is just another item to add to my side work... here is an Instadump of my recent Instagram photos.
Are you following me? You should be.
my baby Bax and my roommate's cat Tessa
Yeahhhhh, I'm kind of a big deal.
Customers love me.
Chicken Lasagna Alfredo Roll Ups
I can't wait for y'all to be so impressed with my skills on this one.

Kings' Mitchell fights for fishby NHL Green
When most fans think of Willie Mitchell, they picture the star Los Angeles Kings defenseman and Stanley Cup champion fearlessly protecting his goaltender. Most may be unaware the physical blueliner doubles as an eco-warrior.
While Mitchell remains off the ice due to injury, he remains in battle, fighting for the future of wild Pacific salmon. Mitchell, an avid outdoorsman and fisherman from coastal Port McNeill, British Columbia, is passionate about conserving this threatened species and preserving the health of our oceans.
Growing up in rural B.C., Mitchell developed a deep affinity for the ocean, where he spent much of his time when away from the rink. However, Mitchell did not entirely realize the rarity of such pristine environments until he went to training camps within more industrial communities. Mitchell credits this experience as vital to his appreciation for unsettled areas, which instilled in him a sense of responsibility to minimize his environmental impact, for himself and future generations alike.
One cause that is close to Mitchell's heart and home is the plight of wild Pacific salmon. Once found in great numbers, these fish have become dangerously depleted after the commercial fishing industry introduced open-net farming of Atlantic salmon in Broughton Archipelago, a group of islands on B.C.'s coast. In many cases, high density aquatic farming can lead to the rapid spread of aquatic diseases like sea lice, which can have deadly repercussions for the young wild Pacific salmon.
Compelled to help protect the wild Pacific Salmon and his local ecosystem, Mitchell became involved and eventually joined the board of directors of Save Our Salmon, an organization dedicated to preserving the sustainability of wild Salmon fisheries by shifting salmon-farming from open-ocean to closed containment farming. Closed containment farming puts a physical barrier between the farmed salmon (and any communicable diseases they may carry) and wild stock, effectively maintaining the sustainability and economic viability of both for many generations to enjoy.
Although Willie's crusade is based in his hometown of B.C., you too can help protect critically endangered wild Salmon and support sustainable seafood across North America. Many stores now offer closed containment-grown salmon, and public pressure can shift non-participating retailers to only stock the sustainable alternative. By purchasing this ocean-friendly option and pushing for its increased availability, you too can join Mitchell in the fight to sustain our oceans.

Having recently completed the VA Apprentice course I would love to recommend it to anyone thinking of becoming a VA. The course is very professional and everything from the video modules to the extra tutorials and the bonuses has been 'tried and tested' by Michelle and her team at VMF.
Do not think that it is an easy course to complete. It's extremely content rich and much of the work relies on you and your ideas. However, Michelle and her team are with you every step of the way and answer your questions, no matter how trivial, extremely quickly. The support in the forums from previous alumni and current apprentices is also second to none. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming.
Michelle is an excellent mentor/business woman. She never makes you feel silly when you need help and gets back to you asap. She is very encouraging and good fun and it is very clear she loves her work which can only inspire the apprentices.
The implementation part of the course is excellent. It's amazing to get an email from the TVAA Team with your latest implementation request completed looking fabulous! The team really are psychic in that they can turn a very vague email instruction into exactly what you had in mind.
I have been introduced to loads of fantastic systems, given templates for responses to clients, given huge amounts of valuable info from ebooks, bonuses and tutorials but most of all, I have been given the confidence to know that I have been taught by the best.
I am about to launch my site very soon and can't wait to get some experience under my belt. At least I know that, with my beautiful website I'll be standing out from the crowd!

This is the most beautiful thing I have read in a long time. ❤
We make myths out of the unrealized.
Love untouched
Is love curled
Into a scared ball
Pushed against the wall
Of the darkest passages
Of your most familiar,
Personal dungeon.
Love untouched,
Is not love undone.
He crept with feline grace
Shimmering, into that glass filled
With the only true liquid love.
He reflected, contorted,
Changing forms.
Elegant now.
Grotesque later.
Caught in a glass.
Tightened in a bottle.
Corked in a vision.
Free in the world.
Invisible in the Universe.
Things fall apart
But the centre holds.
Silly centre.
Caught into its own
And twirls
And folds.
Love unrequited
Has its colours.
Break it through a sheet of liquid.
Sparkling clear?
Blurred, dear?
Buried, fear?
While walking through a desert
I conjured a water in my mind
I conjured mirage in my mind
An illusion of an illusion later
I conjured comfort…

Hey, I'm back to writing posts after 1 month of not writing anything here at Stream SEO even though I promised to write 8 posts per month back in january.
Yeah well…
I'm not proud of it, but I have some great excuses and some good news behind it.
You know, sometimes you REALLY don't have enough time to write a post, or when you do, you don't have the inspiration, and that's something you really need to avoid writing boring posts.
My last post was written 5 weeks ago and after that I went into a business trip for the rest of April with very limited time to connect to the internet and with super long days of smart work.
Of course I came back in may but I wasn't prepared to write yet. I needed some rest and I decided to start a new pair of business I were looking for since March.
The good thing is that I'm doing well and the business are almost 100% automated by now, which means I have more time to write posts. Also, I've got the inspiration I needed and a lot of things to talk about what happened in the last weeks.
I'm preparing 5 posts right now to be published in the following weeks and I bet you'll find them all really interesting as most of them are case studies on traffic and money generation 😉
But here, I want to talk about something different…
We all have our excuses
Yeah well. We all really have our own excuses. If you think you don't, then think again.
Even if I was really busy the last weeks of April flying from a city to another, I could have written at least 2 extra posts here, but I didn't.
And the last 2 weeks of May, I could have written a few more too. I had the time, but I didn't have the inspiration. But isn't that an excuse?
I mean, why did it happened? I already had a big list of headlines and good topics to write about, and instead, I preferred to spend my free time watching Dexter (totally recommended) and reading books via Kindle on my Smartphone.
I don't really have an excuse for that. However, things happen and we need to fight them back.
The "Work from home problems"
Now that I've been working from home almost every day, I have more time to do a lot of stuff.
Instead of 3 hours of driving back and forth to an office and waking up at 6:30am just to fall asleep at 11-12pm to wake up early the next day, now I can sleep until 8-9am and work until 1-2am.
Yes, I work more hours than before in my projects, but I'm happy and I still have more time to spend with my family and friends while not being totally exhausted at the end of the day. I actually feel free to do what I want, but I've also found some problems from working at home. And because many of my readers are bloggers struggling to get some time to write or some of you might even work at home, here are some things that might make you feel connected to me.
1. Work from and being a blogger doesn't mean you're on Vacations
One thing I had already noticed is that every time I worked from home, people used to think I was free to do anything they wanted. As if I was unemployed or something like that.
- There's no milk? Please go and buy more
- No water? Guess who's going to the miscellaneous?
- The TV technician is coming? Please receive him and stay with him during his work to check everything goes fine.
- Oh, you're working from home? Please go and pick up your brother from school
And I could keep going…
If you feel like you're being invaded, you need to set your limits and make people respect your job. Working from home doesn't mean you're free to do whatever they want without any plans.
I could actually use this as an excuse, because many times I'm just about to dive into a new post and someone calls me and I get distracted. The distraction could take 2 minutes, but then I need 5-10 more minutes to concentrate and start writing again. And that only if I don't find a new video of a cat dancing with a dog on my Facebook's feed… Cat's are fun to watch.
So what I actually did was to inform everybody that I really need to concentrate to get some work done at the end of the day. In fact, I told them not to count on me unless there's an emergency and to think as if I was in the office 2 hours away from home. Nobody called me when I was in the middle of a meeting at the office unless it was an emergency, and the same should apply here at home.
2. Having a few hours free per month doesn't mean you publish everything the same day
You need to learn how to schedule your posts and analyze the best hours.
With WordPress this is very simple. Instead of hitting the "publish" button you just schedule your post for the day and hour you want it to be published.
Even if you can only write 3 posts the first monday of the month, that doesn't mean you publish them all the very same day. You can write 3 posts and publish one each monday.
In fact, what I do now, is to publish them one night before I want them to be seen, and then program my email responder to send the RSS feed the next day at 11am. This way I get more readers, commenters and engagement instead of just hitting the publish button at 11pm on Sunday when nobody is in front of the computer.
3. Being a blogger doesn't mean you should write all the time
But writing helps, as I've shown you before. its a hard way to achieve things, not smart.
I recently decided to start a lot of extra things because I have more time to do so. In fact, I'm already investing in 2 other business on the IM niche, while creating some extra niche sites and I'm all in for the Niche Site Duel 2.0 with Pat Flynn from the Smart Passive income.
One of the business is already generating a lot of money with Contextual Ads like Google Adsense and I'll cover some interesting stuff on how to increase your revenue with A/B Testing and using Scrollmaps and Heatmaps. And when I mean "a lot" of money, I'm talking about quantities that will make you think you can quit from your 9-5 job.
So, I haven't been exactly losing my time the last weeks while scratching my belly 😉 But I know it's not an excuse for my readers.
The advantages of doing all these things at the same time is that you can create some great material to write on your blog without having the so called writer's block. Case studies are very interesting and you can learn a lot from them. People love them.
So remember not to limit yourself into writing just because you have a blog or you'll just squeeze yourself so much that you'll wonder if you want to stop writing forever.
You can always engage with other bloggers, participate in a community, read forums and spend money in other business at the same time as long as you have enough time to be happy with the people around you.
What's next?
Well, it seems I'm changing my writing strategy now. For the last 6 months I've been writing between 5-8 posts per month, or 2 posts per week in order to get more traffic and improve my rankings. But this is about to change.
Don't get me wrong, the blog has been growing even though May has been lower and that really is because I stopped writing for a month. So yeah, writing does help and you shouldn't stop writing for long times like I did.
But I think I'll be writing 1 post per week (hopefully to be published every thursday) here at Stream SEO and I'll focus another post per week at guest posts. That is 50/50.
This is an strategy that I had read before at Social Triggers (he used the 80/20 scale) and I recently remembered it from Traffic generation Cafe.
This strategy just works because you get quality traffic, build backlinks and it helps you raise your authority. Also, I'll be testing Squeeze pages for the traffic that's coming from those guest posts and later I'll make a report on how it works.
The Niche Site Duel
Yes, I'll be participating on the NSD 2.0 with Pat Flynn. I'm doing my keyword research but I already have an idea. If you're interested on participating with me and many other people make sure you read this post: Niche Site Duel 2.0.
Other posts coming
I already have the headlines for the following posts at Stream SEO. In the following days I'll cover:
- How I increased Adsense earnings from 150 to 200 USD per day using custom channels and Heatmaps
- How to increase your conversions with an Scrollmap and using ranked posts
- How to convert a great post into the Ultimate Guide using Long tail keywords to get more traffic
- How to convert a ranked page into a money generating page in a few minutes
- How to setup Mobile Responsive Subscribe boxes in your blog and why I don't use Optin Skin anymore
- My follow ups to the Backlinking and Page Speed case studies
So stay tuned and talk to you next week!

Green Bay fan sues over Bears' sideline ban on Packers gear
CHICAGO — One Green Bay Packers fan is going to court over a favorite Wisconsin pastime of disparaging the arch rival Chicago Bears.
Russell Beckman filed a lawsuit in federal court Friday, June 16th accusing the Bears of violating his free-speech rights by prohibiting fans from wearing Packers apparel at Bears' pregame warmups. He is seeking a court order lifting the ban.
Beckman lives in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, near the Illinois state line and holds Bears seasons tickets. Season-ticket holders can attend certain pregame warmups on the sidelines.
The Bears sent Beckman an email before a December Bears-Packers game warning in capital letters, "NO OPPOSING TEAM GEAR WILL BE ALLOWED." He went in Packers apparel anyway and was turned away.
The Bears didn't respond to a message seeking comment Monday.

The 2007-2008 Baseball season began with coach Charles Simmons entering his third year as head coach. He believed that the team could be very successful, despite having a team that returned only two seniors and one junior. The reason for this optimism was the growth demonstrated by the young players through last season and summer ball.
The season's first game was on April 9 against Washburn at North Commons Park. The results were similar to last season. The Polars gave up 12 runs in the first inning, on their way to a 29-0 defeat. The Polars did not record a hit and the only base runner, Kahjuan Evans, reach base via a walk. The North pitchers, however, combined
The Polars traveled to Van Cleve Park to face the Tigers from South. South scores two in the bottom of the first. North scored one in the top of the third to cut the Tiger lead to 2-1. South scores five runs in the bottom of the third inning, but the Polars would not quit. They scored single runs in the fourth and fifth innings. However, the Tigers answered each Polar score with scores of their own, two in the fourth and four in the fifth. The final score of 13-3 did not demonstrate how well the Polars played. Kahjuan Evans and Justin Hutchinson each recorded their first hits of the season. Six Polar batters were walked and Carlton Littlejohn was hit by two pitches. The
April 16 was the date of the third game. The Polars returned home to face Southwest. The Polars tried everything to sink the Lakers, including using five different pitchers, four who had never pitched in a game prior to this. The Polars walked 14 batters and gave up 18 hits in route to a 30-4 defeat.
The Polars next game at North Commons was against Edison. Former Polar, Adrian Waters, now playing for Edison, started the game. The Polars countered with Sophomore E.J. Easley pitching in his first game. Easley gave up four runs in the first inning after facing four hitters,
North traveled to the far side of north Minneapolis to face arch-rival Henry. The Polars scored first, taking their first lead of the season. It was short-lived however. The Patriots scored four in the bottom of the first and seven in the bottom of the second to take and 11-1 lead. The Polars struck for one in the third, but the Patriots also scored one. The Pats then scored six in the bottom of the fourth. The Polars
Washburn was the next opponent on April 28 at Pearl Park. Donte Green recorded the only hit for the Polars. Three other Polars reached base on walks, while 11 Polar batters struck out on their way to a 27-0 defeat.
The team took time away from their conference schedule for the first time to play the Agriculture and Food Sciences Academy. During the game, a reporter from the Star-Tribune was writing a story about two of the AFSA players, one who was deaf and one who was female. Unfortunately, the Polars managed only six hits and one run, while AFSA scored 18. The defensive plays of the game were made by Alfred Ray who was constantly knocking hard smashes down at third base.
South came to North Commons for their second game against the Polars. Again, the Polars managed only one hit, a double by Justin Hutchinson, and three walks. The Tigers seemed to hit at will collecting
The Polars traveled to Nieman Sports Complex to play Southwest for the second time. Donte Green pitched a complete game in this loss. The Polars actually played better than the final score of 18-0. Only four errors were made. Green walked only six. Demetree Robinson broke up the Laker pitchers no hitter with a hit in the top of the fifth inning for the only Polar safety. Earlier, E.J. Easley broke up the perfect game with a walk. Emmanuel Perry also reached base when he was hit by a pitch.
The Polars traveled again for a non-conference game against Heritage Christian Academy/Providence Academy.
The Polars stayed on the road to play Edison for the second time. The Polars struck for two runs in the first inning. They scored one in the second. The Tommies scored two in the bottom of the second to cut the lead to 3-2. The Polars lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning, the longest they have led in over two years. However, the Tommies scored eight runs in the bottom of the fifth and three more in the bottom of the sixth to win 13-3. Again, the Polar pitchers of Justin Hutchinson and Carlton Littlejohn struck out 11 Tommy batters. Demetrius Neal was 2 for 3 with
The Polars then played their third non-conference game, this time against Minnesota Transitions Charter School. The Game began like many previous games with the visiting Transitions team scoring two runs in the top of the first. However, for this game, the team did not quit. The Polars came back and scored six in the bottom of the first. Thinks started looking bleak when transitions scored four to tie the game at 6. However, the Polars scored seven in the bottom of the inning. The Polars kept scoring on their way to a 21-8 victory. The win broke
The Polars then hosted Henry for the second time. The score of 7-1 in favor of the Patriots after four innings showed that the Polars were in the game. However, the Patriots unloaded on the Polars for 13 runs in the top of the fifth.
The Polars hoped for revenge from Roosevelt
The Polars finished the regular season with a non-conference game against the Math & Science Academy.
The final game of the season was played in the region subsection. The Polars, seeded #8, faced #1 seed Delano. The Polars did not get a hit and only had one baserunner, E.J. Easley, who walked on five pitches. A scare was put into the Polars when a Delano batter hit a line shot right back to relief pitcher Donte Green. The ball hit Green in the ankle.
The season ended for the Polars with a 1-16 overall record and a 0-12 conference record for 7th place. Two Polars, Justin Hutchinson and Carlton Littlejohn, were named all conference by the vote of the conference baseball coaches. A coach CANNOT vote for his own players. A third player, E.J. Easley, also impressed the other coaches with is defensive play however he fell short of the honor.
Justin Hutchinson led the team in almost all offensive categories, at bats (42), hits (14), runs (13), doubles (3), RBI (7), and average (.333). He tied with Carlton Littlejohn with 1 triple. E.J. Easley
Carlton Littlejohn dominated the pitching statistics. He led the team in innins pitched (26.2), batters faced (241), Hits allowed (58), runs allowed (106) earned runs allowed (58), wild pitched (30), strikeouts (48), and losses (7). Justin Hutchinson led the team with 10 hit batters. Kahjuan Evans won the only game and had a 12.07 ERA. (Demetree Robinson had a 0.00 ERA, but only pitched one inning.) Three pitchers were on the conference leader board for strikeouts. Littlejohn was second (42), Hutchinson fourth (34) and Evans ninth (22).

Today, given recent growth in global accessibility and opportunity, entrepreneurial projects as well as multinational corporations operate amidst linguistically diverse environments.
The most important factor that has lowered barriers of access is information technology and the internet. These have systematically reduced the costs of starting or expanding projects, favoring rapid growth, and strengthening the potential of startups and industries that adopt IT.
The explosion of information technology, and the challenge of bringing to market products that satisfy needs of consumers that speak different languages has increased the demand for language classes. Younger companies especially have supported the use of language classes
Here are the 7 most important languages for businesses, which any CEO with a global outlook should look towards mastering:
1) English
English has been and will continue to be the most widely used language in international transactions and exchange. The official language of more than 40 countries, it is used in the business sphere as much as it used in IT. Internationally-minded businesses have greater opportunities by adopting English, as 85% of the internet is composed of English language content.
Likewise, mastering English is essential if you are an entrepreneur. You will be better positioned to assist conferences, network, execute marketing campaigns, and lead your web page if you learn English.
2) Mandarin Chinese
With more than 1.2 billion native speakers around the world, Mandarin Chinese is the world's most spoken language. China has the world's second largest economy, and is on the cusp of innovation in tech and heavy industry, with nearly unparalleled economic growth. It is also impossible to ignore the fact that China has also recently pivoted commercial relations towards Latin America and Europe. Businessmen and women should realize the current and future financial attractiveness of learning and dealing in Chinese.
3) Spanish
With more than 500 million speakers in the world, Spanish provides the opportunity for entrepreneurs and visionaries to enter the Latin American market. Latin America is very attractive as a source of raw materials for many industries. While Spain is as of late still recovering from the European economic crisis, it represents a strategic place for business and cultural exchange with the European continent.
4) Portuguese
Portuguese is the world's fourth most spoken language and represents several countries with strong economic potential, including Brazil and Angola. Brazil has the world's 8th largest economy, besides being a leader in Latin American integration. It has an attractive array of possibilities in commerce, environmental engineering, and international business.
5) Russian
This country represents a market of more than 250 million people, with Russia being the regional leader and source of vast natural resources to other regions. Russia has developed technology, energy, and manufacturing sectors. In addition, there are other countries in Russia's sphere of influence that are emerging economies.
6) Arabic
Learning arabic entails access to 57 countries with a growing online culture. It also opens the gateway to the food import/export trade. Those who learn Arabic also expose themselves to some of the richest markets that will enjoy greater growth and diversification in the future.
7) German
Germany is one of the most prosperous countries in Europe, withstanding the European economic crisis with stable production and sustained economic growth. As the economic engine of Europe, Germany has many possibilities for businesspeople and entrepreneurs. Other prosperous economies, including Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria, also speak German.

Why psychotherapy? Why not a book? a workshop? a friend? this website?
Put into words, the stuff of psychotherapy can seem hopelessly obvious. One thinks: Of course your depressed friend has nothing to be depressed about; why can't he see it? Why can't you just tell him so, give him some books about depression and how to overcome it, and end the problem that way? Of course the overly timid, cautious, and withdrawn man became that way because he grew up with an intolerant, volatile parent; everyone else who knows the family can see that, and they can see that this man has no reason anymore to be so scared. If they can see all this, why cant he do the same and get moving with his life? Of course the arrogant, know-it-all only irritates the very people hes trying so hard to impress? Why cant he keep quiet a bit, so that he doesnt end up jobless, friendless, and solitary?
The short answer is that it's too painful. Your depressed friend is stuck in this depression partly because, believe it or not, it is easier to feel depressed than to face what really hurts. It is easier for him to believe that everything about him is worthless, however much this flies in the face of all the data, than it is to cope with whatever else is going on. That is why his depression seems so irrational to us -- because its a distraction from something else. Meanwhile we can only drop our jaws in disbelief as this handsome, talented, successful man mopes that he has nothing and is worthless. The bright and attractive woman who attaches herself to one unreliable and dishonest man after another prefers -- at an unconscious level -- to cry or rage over the current man's behavior rather than to feel and acknowledge more pervasive and unweildy dissatisfaction with herself and her life. Even the timid soul finds it more comfortable to flinch his way through life than to face all the rage, despair, and fear involved in questioning his habitual view of himself and the world. [Greg, Ed - II]
Important: These irrational patterns of feeling, perception, and behavior are not chosen or established on a conscious level! Clearly most of us would not engage in such silly behavior on purpose. But these habits develop outside of awareness (and nonverbally) where we cant get at them. Why this is so, and how it happens, was explained in previous three sections. (See also Ed - II, Bully, Ron]
It is this unconsciousness that is key to understanding "Why psychotherapy" (as opposed to other kinds of help). For just as the problems are established somewhere outside your awareness, so too must the cure reach into this area. Otherwise the treatment wont work. Learning on an intellectual level is rarely sufficient. Take a look at these case examples [Evan, Ed - II, George, George - II, Ron II, Evan - II] to see the difference between intellectual learning and the kind of personal insight that is the goal, and the great gift, of psychotherapy.
Unfortunately this kind of learning is difficult, which is one reason psychotherapy usually takes more than a few sessions. Put simply, in psychotherapy we resist most strongly the things we most need to learn, once again because they are painful [Greg]. (If after reading the rest of this website you still find this last statement odd, be sure to read the page on resistance.
Its only later, when you try to put your experience and insight into words, that it all sounds so obvious, so icky. This is such a common phenomenon in psychotherapy psychoanalysts are fond of saying, "Trite is right". So when you discover something you are sure is profoundly important and which you can feel deeply, yet saying it makes you feel foolish and even sickeningly touchy-feely, you are probably on the right track. (I think this is why psychology can sound so asinine on talk shows.)
What's the cure? What Does Psychotherapy Do?

Excerpt from The Huffington Post -- "In December, the U.S. and the UK took a significant step in that direction, announcing a common strategy for resolving insolvent cross-border financial giants, known as global systemically important financial intermediaries (G-SIFIs). In spite of this progress and the Dodd-Frank law notwithstanding, the specter of 'too big to fail' still haunts the financial landscape."

It may appear that way, particularly on small example data sets, but from an implementation point of view it's not straightforward at all... at least for me. I'm expecting a DELETE operation to find a concrete set of triples, which then allows me to go into the triple storage and remove those instances. A wildcard template means that I won't get an specific set. Consequently, I would need to start iterating through the index finding those triples that match the template taking the wildcard into consideration. If I want to avoid iterating through every triple in my system, I can do a query that takes the wildcard into consideration. So now I have a new query which is a transformation on the original query. However, that's just the case for when there is a single triple in the template. What about when there are multiple triples, with one or more of those triples containing wildcards in the form of blank nodes? The transformations become more complex. Multiple blank nodes make it significantly more complex. It can all be automated, but it gets alarmingly messy under the covers. > If you want to imlement it via rewriting that's fine. Instead of > finding instances (which requires computing mappings for the bnodes in > the template), you can then just delete syntactically equal triples, > but I don't see why this has to be defined in the algebra or as some > for of rewriting algorithm. The model is trying to define that set of triples to be removed. It seems to me to be awkward to define a solution set (via the WHERE clause), and to then describe how that is used to create a template that is then applied to triples in a graph. Perhaps the application of said template could be described as a filter, though I would not expect any implementation to actually implement it that way. > I think that is even dangerous since it > assumes that the bnodes that I return as bindings are really those > from the graph, but I am in no other place of the spec oblidged to do > that. I'm not sure I follow you here. Are you suggesting that variables (or even wildcard matches) that are bound to bnodes in the graph are to be the same ones that the template is referring to? If so, then that is a desirable outcome, or else it would not be possible to modify data relating to them. However, I may have misinterpreted what you have said here. > If you don't want to implement via rewriting, you can (have to) > find mappings for the bnodes in the instantiated template to find the > triples that are to be deleted. > > The only problem I can see is that we have to decide whether to delete > "iteratively" (solution by solution), which seems not to be good: > E.g., > data: > :a :b :c1 . > :a :b :c2 . > a :d :e . > :a :f :c1 . > :a :f :c2 . > :a :g :e . > query > DELETE { :a :f ?c . :a :g ?e } WHERE { :a :b ?c . :a :d ?e } > evaluating the query pattern gives two solutions > ?c/:c1, ?e/:e and ?c/:c2, ?e/:e > If now instantiate the template with the first solution and > immediately remove that graph equivalent triples, we are left with > data': > :a :b :c1 . > :a :b :c2 . > a :d :e . > :a :f :c2 . > If we now instantiate the templete with the second solution to > :a :f :c2 . :a :g :e > There is no longer a matching subgraph left.

In this case I have no problems with it. There are lots of operations which try to delete the same triple more than once, or try to construct the same triple multiple times. The duplicates are ignored. Regards, Paul GearonReceived on Wednesday, 23 February 2011 17:36:01 UTC

For any of you who follow me on Instagram you will know my grandmother is visiting from Calcutta. She used to live here in the 50's for a while when my grandfather's job bought them and my uncle to London and returned to India soon after my mother was born. She visits us every few years and I love to take her around doing quintessentially English things [last time we visited Westminster Abbey all abuzz after the Royal Wedding, visited Greenwich and took the boat back up the Thames, took in the sights of Liberty and its Christmas Shop and caught up on Downton of course].
So adding to our schedule of delightful things to do – a few weeks ago we visited Grow London a new "Urban Gardening Show" located on beautiful Hampstead Heath. A show featuring over 100 exhibitors from contemporary garden furniture brands, inspiring nurseries sand a tempting edit of fine garden sculpture, covetable pots, planters, accessories and tools.
Some of my favourite offerings were lovely new prints from hand screen printed home textile brand Thornback and Peel and a display of their stunning deck-chairs. Etsy shop Adorn Homeware's covetable geometric copper hanging planters for Air plants were a sure fire best seller as were metalworker Belinda Ferreter unusual sculptural bird feeders in elegant matte hues. The Urban Botanist was at hand to take care of all Terrarium needs and I loved Ragged Rose's pretty and practical textiles for outdoor living
My favourite part of the fair was the Gardenista Market which was a kind of general store for urban gardens bringing together artisan sellers, boutique garden stores and shop curators – too easy to fill up my shopping basket here!

3 Comments on Grow London 2015: The Contemporary Garden Fair
Looks like a fantastic day out and your Grandmother is so beautiful!Did she enjoy coming back to London?
I really love all of the trailing plants at the moment. I think they look wonderful hung in ceramic pots with leather strings. The cloche filled with little plants looks so cute too, I think this trend will last for a while. I also love glass displays, as its so much fun to create little worlds of plants and nature walk finds.
It looks so beautiful and so inspiring.

To explain the last couple of pictures: The Kolinsky is a weasel, Mustela sibirica. The scientific name translates to Siberian Weasel which is, in fact, the only name it is called in the scientific literature. The Sable is a species of Marten, a larger, dark brown, animal, in the Genus Martes. Unfortunately the museum did not have any skins of sables. The skin I am showing you is from a Marten collected in the United States which closely resembles it.
I am still unable to track down where the word "Kolinsky" comes in. Actually I did after I posted this. See here.

Defenders in Action: Taking a Stand for Wildlife
© Joel Sartore/joelsartore.com
When Woody Guthrie sang "this land was made for you and me" back in the 1930s, he neglected to mention the plants and animals it was made for, too.
Enter America's Wildlife Heritage Act, introduced into the House of Representatives in June by Representatives Ron Kind (D-Wis.) and Walter Jones (R-N.C.). The bill aims to ensure that the government manages national forests and other public lands by making the health of ecosystems a priority. Too often, conservationists say, wildlife takes a backseat to development activities such as logging and oil and gas leasing on federal lands.
If passed, the legislation would provide the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) with clear objectives and science-based tools to sustain and monitor healthy populations of fish and wildlife and their habitat in national forests, grasslands and BLM lands. "This is especially important today as the land comes under increasing pressure for resource development and energy production, and global warming threatens to change much of the habitat wildlife relies upon," says Peter Nelson, Defenders' federal lands program director. About 20 percent to 30 percent of plant and animal species alive today are at risk of extinction by 2050 if average temperatures increase more than 2 degrees F, according to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Protecting habitat could help some of these species adapt.
Forest Service and BLM lands hold some of the last remaining intact wildlife corridors for large animal species, such as pronghorn and elk, and provide habitat for countless other species, both imperiled and common. These public lands are also home to some 3,400 bodies of water that replenish aquifers, provide drinking water and irrigate farmland.
"In the face of rapidly changing habitats brought on by global warming, America's Wildlife Heritage Act will help protect the wildlife treasured by all Americans," says Nelson.
