In the past
Ethiopia is responding to a drought emergency, triggered by one of the strongest El Niño events on record. Humanitarian needs have tripled since the beginning of 2015 as the drought continues to have devastating effects on the lives and livelihoods of farmers and pastoralists — causing successive crop failures and widespread livestock deaths.
Food insecurity and malnutrition rates are alarming with some 10.2 million people in need of food assistance. One-quarter of all districts in Ethiopia are officially classified as facing a food security and nutrition crisis — 435 000 children are suffering severe acute malnutrition and 1.7 million children, pregnant and lactating women are experiencing moderate acute malnutrition.
Livelihood crisis
More than 80 percent of people in Ethiopia rely on agriculture and livestock as their primary source of food and income, however the frequency of droughts over the years has left many communities particularly vulnerable. Significant production losses, by up to 50-90 percent in some areas, have severely diminished households' food security and purchasing power, forcing many to sell their remaining agricultural assets and abandon their livelihoods.
Estimates in early 2016 by Ethiopia's Bureau of Agriculture indicate that some 7.5 million farmers and herders need immediate agricultural support to produce staple crops like maize, sorghum, teff, wheat, and root crops, and livestock feed to keep their animals healthy and resume production.
Hundreds of thousands of livestock have already died and the animals that remain are becoming weaker and thinner due to poor grazing resources, feed shortages and limited water availability, leading to sharp declines in milk and meat production.
FAO's El Niño Response
The FAO Ethiopia El Niño Response Plan aims to assist 1.8 million vulnerable pastoralists, agropastoralists and smallholder farmers in 2016. To achieve this, FAO will prioritize agricultural production support in order to reduce the food gap, livestock interventions to protect the livelihood assets of pastoralists and agropastoralists, and activities to enhance the resilience of affected communities through coordinated response.
As part of the emergency response, FAO has been providing planting materials to help seed- and food-insecure households in the worst-affected regions plant in the belg and meher seasons. In an effort to preserve livestock, FAO has been distributing multi-nutrient blocks in pastoral and agropastoral areas to strengthen livestock and bolster the resilience of the cooperatives that produce them. Survival animal feed is also being provided to help farmers produce fodder and improve access to water for livestock. Herds across the country have also benefited from vaccination and treatment campaigns to address their increasing vulnerability as a result of drought.
In Ethiopia's Somali Region, FAO is enhancing the financial stability of drought-affected households through the purchase of weak sheep and goats for immediate, local slaughter - and providing the meat - rich in protein - to nutritionally vulnerable drought-affected families. The intervention will help reduce stress on available feed, enable households to focus their resources on their remaining productive animals, and invest in productive assets.
In addition, FAO is closely working with the government to conduct seasonal assessments and develop preparedness and response plans, along with guidelines for emergency agriculture support.

Youngsville officer charged with stealing lottery tickets
Posted January 12, 2012
Updated January 13, 2012
Raleigh, N.C. — The State Bureau of Investigation charged a Youngsville police officer Thursday with stealing lottery tickets and trying to cash them in at various supermarkets.
Jeremy N. Montejano, 24, of Wake Forest, was charged with seven counts of obtaining property by false pretense. He was released after posting a $10,000 bond.
According to warrants, Montejano tried to cash more than $2,300 in stolen lottery tickets at stores between November 2008 and last August. One warrant said he tried to defraud the North Carolina Education Lottery of another $1,000 by trying to cash in winning tickets that he never bought.

Hélène Joy stars in Andrew Bovell's play Speaking in Tongues, an intimate ensemble about the tangles of lust and infidelity among several couples. It's the Canadian stage debut for Joy, who trained in theatre in her native Australia ("the only professional theatre I ever did was Shakespeare") before moving to Canada for TV and film roles. Her characters couldn't be more different than Julia Ogden, the Victorian doctor she's known for playing on CBC's family-friendly Murdoch Mysteries. In the racy play, Joy plays two very different women — the demure Jane, a fragile housewife, and sexy bunny-boiler Sarah. "Anyone who's used to seeing me be Julia is going to be a little shocked!"
What I'm Wearing Today
I went really simple today because I'm in the middle of rehearsal. This ring is from The Devil's Workshop — they fit it right to me. The hat is from Chelsea Markets in New York, a street vendor. They sell good stuff! The shoes are Kelsi Dagger — they're unbelievable. The blouse is vintage, so is the necklace. I shop a lot of vintage because I find it's a bit more interesting. The jacket is from Club Monaco, about a year ago. Everything high-waisted I think is a really flattering line, like the pencil skirts that I'm into right now. These high-waisted shorts are simple, simple, simple; I got them from American Apparel. I wouldn't call myself a fashionista, but I really love clothes and how they go together.
Accessorizing builds character
I've been using my favourite red carpet Stuart Weitzman heels in fact — I can't quite believe I'm using them — in rehearsal! They're incredibly beautiful, really stable and really, really high. And they really inform how I act for the sexy character in the play. I have endless amounts of accessories and spend the most money on shoes and accessories. I sometimes think it's because I came up in the theatre and it's all a little bit dress-up. Friends who aren't in the business think about clothes quite differently than I do. I think something will be fun, but they think it looks like a costume. Props, costume — I think of clothes a bit that way.
She wears many hats
I collect and have hats like you wouldn't believe. It comes from living in Australia; I had to wear hats in the sun because I had that kind of fair skin. I love fedoras, I love a big floppy sun hat, I love woollen hats.
Victorian modesty is an acquired taste
Though I revolted against it in the beginning — I hated it, I felt like I looked like a grandmother — you'd be surprised how much I like it now. Over time you see the refinement of it. I'm into high necks like I never have been before, and detailed lace. I have even bought some vintage pieces since that are full-on Victorian! In New York I bought a couple of pieces, antique blouses, down from the vendors out front at Chelsea Market. I don't know where they find these incredible pieces, and they are not cheap. I put those on with a high-waisted jeans, a heel and a great necklace, and I find that gorgeous. It's totally got me. And the lace-up vintage shoe, too. All because of Murdoch — they did this to me! [She laughs.] But it hasn't gotten me into long skirts, and it never will.
Desert-island product
Sunscreen, absolutely every day. I go to a place called Lege Artis, she's a really amazing facialist, and I use SkinTX. It's full-on skin care, a physical block, not chemical and is literally white, I have to blend in some makeup to make it work every day. Murdoch lead makeup artist Debi Drennan has her own line called Dakota and I tend to use her stuff working with her on set. I am sort of religious about my skin care. Every bottle, everything that you can use, I do.
Keeping warm is a style obsession
I have at least 10 beautiful coats. Rudsak, Mackage, Soia & Kyo, Gstar, Canada Goose, M0851 and many vintage. My favourite in my closet is a black waist-length vintage leather jacket with zippers. If I ever go back to Australia, I could get the flight 10 times over with the sale of my coats!
Red carpet magic
I've been nominated twice now at the Golden Nymph Awards for Durham County and had to go to Monte Carlo. They were real, full-on red carpets — it was crazy, I've never seen so many people! Toronto designer Romona Keveza [a Lithuanian-Canadian based in New York since 1999] has dressed me for a couple of Geminis, but, amazingly, she also dressed me when I went to Monaco for that. Her dresses are stunning and so beautiful to wear. I've also worn Carlie Wong. For many other events and photo shoots, Pam Chorley at Fashion Crimes has dressed me and I've ended up buying a lot. One fantastic dress from her that is a favourite: it's a sweetheart neckline minidress and totally form-fitting on the body. Of all things, it's crushed velvet that has a deer pattern all over it — it's beautiful, like a woodland scene.
Not dressing the part
I must say, because of playing Julia I do dress a little vampier than I might normally. Because of her people really see me in this conservative way and are often shocked when they meet me in person, out of character. I'm Julia to a lot of people and people are enamoured with her in a certain particular way. I tend to shake it up — I think it's necessary. I do what I can to fight that perception — and this play will help!
Costume drama secrets
One thing we do, all through summer when we're shooting, is fake tattoos. I love tattoos but I can't commit to one, so I get them painted on. [Makeup artist] Deb often paints tattoos for me because we're just so bored on set [between takes]. And not little ones — I usually get a big thing on my arms or get a cuff, or gorgeous images like geisha girls. So often underneath those elaborate period costumes I have tats, and I have funky nail polish on my toes and no one knows. You have to do it, otherwise it's just so ho-hum.
Favourite shops
I'm not a big 'designer' person – I don't wear labels and things like that…I'm a Parkdale west-end girl and shop locally. Jonathan & Olivia, Jacflash and Vintage 69 and the tiny store Print [in Little Italy] has a great curator in the owner, she has a very good eye. La Merceria, Bicyclette, Silver Falls, The Monkey's Paw… I really love Bluebird Handmade, the jewellery. I'm a fan of Evan Biddell and Lucian Matis.
I've got Acne jeans and my latest are Filippa K. Other than that I love James and I've been seduced totally because Shopgirls are near my house, but I live in Yoga Jeans a little. They're not expensive, they don't break, they don't stretch out much. Normally I'd literally wear just leggings to rehearsal because we have to dance – there's very sexy dancing off the top of the show and comfort is everything – and I can do my Yoga jeans here.
In her bag
I have much nicer bags but for bloody rehearsal I need one that's big enough for everything – iPad and books and scripts and phones and a diary, schedules. I love my tan Christopher Kon woven wallet, also from Shopgirls.
Beauty rituals
This coral nail polish is Deborah Lippmann [Girls Just Want to Have Fun]. In the summer we're shooting Murdoch my toes are always done but I never get to wear nail polish – just on the weekends. I get my hair done at Fringe and like Elixir, the organic spa.
Heirloom statements
I have a hilarious necklace that my grandmother gave me she had brought back from Hawaii – a big medallion necklace I thought was weird at the time. Now of course it's the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Latest purchase
About a week ago at Queen West vintage store Chosen: a beautiful yellow and green pure wool plaid poncho that I feel must have been handmade by someone's mother because in one of the seams it bears a little handmade label that says Susan E. Fromm. When I wear it, I feel I should be walking the moors of England in tall sexy Wellington boots.
Speaking in Tongues, a Company Theatre play in association with Canadian Stage, runs at Toronto's Berkeley Street Theatre from Oct. 29 to Nov. 24 (canadianstage.com).

PM Dung works with Ninh Thuan leaders (Source: VNA)
The central province of Ninh Thuan made public its socio-economic development master plan to 2020, which gives priority to six sectors of energy, tourism, agro-forestry-fisheries, and processing.
Addressing the conference in Phan Rang-Thap Cham city on December 10, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said Ninh Thuan has great potentials for development, particularly wind and solar energies, tourism and salt production.
Therefore, in Vietnam's marine strategy, Ninh Thuan is expected to become an economic hub in the south central and Central Highlands region, he said, adding that the province has been selected to house the country's two first nuclear power plants.
"This is a good opportunity for Ninh Thuan province to create a breakthrough in its development," PM Dung noted.
He recommended that the province improve its investment environment, assist investors and invest in human resources to meet demands in the next period.
On the same day, Prime Minister Dung inspected a project to build the province's coastal road./.

The July 4th match is always one of the biggest of the year for FC Dallas as they play in front of a perennially-sold out crowd in Frisco, but this year's Independence Day game surely holds special meaning for FCD captain David Ferreira.
Thursday's game represents a year to the day that Ferreira made his return to the field against Toronto FC after over 14 months away from the field due to injury.
READ: FCD remains in MLS power rankings top five after draw in Philadelphia
"It was great to get him back July 4th of last year," said head coach Schellas Hyndman. "When he came back, he really inspired the team to make a real run at getting into that last spot in the playoffs…I think the telling truth of how valuable David is to the team is to just look at our record when he's on the field and look at our record when he's not."
Indeed, the numbers behind Ferreira's last 12 months are staggering when you take into account that the 2010 MLS MVP could suffer such a tragic injury and return to the field more than a year later without missing a step. The Colombian's 15 assists since July 4, 2012 represent the second-most among all MLS players behind only Landon Donovan(16) and this all while remaining the most fouled player in the league.
MATCH INFO: FC Dallas vs Chivas USA - July 4 celebration
"I think he's as productive as before [the injury]," said head coach Schellas Hyndman. "I'd like to see him a little bit more dynamic going forward, but I also understand how difficult it is for him to find that space because people won't let him in there."
While a number as simple as assists can be propped up by the fact that Ferreira takes many of FCD's set pieces, a look deeper into the OPTA stats shows that Ferreira remains one of the most offensively dangerous players in the league. Since July 4, only Federico Higuain and Javier Morales have more chances created from open play with the 33-year-old boasting 59 chances created from the run of play, not counting any of his pinpoint set pieces.
READ: FC Dallas Under-23 ECNL team headed to nationals after successful first season
As the mileage and fouls add up on Ferreira's legs throughout the season, don't be surprised to see Hyndman find creative ways to get the Colombian as much rest as possible before playoff time rolls around. Still, as you take your seat in the stadium on Thursday night, take a moment to pause and recognize the greatness of the FCD captain as we hit the one year mark since he returned to the field.

Dorrough's Dallas Home Raided by DEA
On February 8, 2011 Dallas, TX rapper Dorrough, best known for his 2009 hit "Ice Cream Paint Job", had his Texas home invaded by the DEA.
"Although the home of the Dallas, TX native is lavish and complimented with vehicles to match, the DEA found no evidence and could not make an arrest after an elaborate investigation which may have been stereotype driven," says the Texas native's spokesperson. "All they found were gold and platinum plaques on the walls. Dorrough is anxious to get back in the studio to work and make more hits."
Dorrough took to Twitter yesterday to vent about the situation saying, "My day started off fucked up… Which means today will be a great day!" No official word from authorities has been given. Stay tuned as details emerge—Nicole LoPresti

BEREAVED parents who were told there were no ashes to scatter after their children were cremated are to be given a full explanation over how the remains came to be buried in a Garden of Remembrance.
A report of initial findings from an inquiry by Edinburgh City Council into the scandal at Mortonhall Crematorium has called for them to be given full access to the records once a second investigation is completed.
The inquiry was launched after child bereavement charity Sands Lothians discovered the council-owned crematorium had failed to pass on children's remains for 45 years.
Loading article content
The council is also to carry out a review of current policy, equipment and staff training at the crematorium to ensure national guidelines are being followed, while independent auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers will look through more than 100,000 records at the site.
The council's chief executive, Sue Bruce, will continue to inform ministers of any issues arising from the investigation which may have national significance.
The report also recommends that an independent figure be appointed to complete the inquiry.
Councillor Lesley Hinds, environment convener, said: "Having received these findings I feel it is only right and proper, and taking into account the views of parents, that an independent person now completes the inquiry. This person would also look at all the recommendations in the report which include ensuring the council has clear policies in relation to cremations and that they comply with national guidelines."

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection in our community.
It affects both women and men, including men who have sex with men. In women it causes an infection of the cervix and in men it infects the urethra. Less commonly Chlamydia can infect the anus or can also cause conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eye).
If not treated, Chlamydia can cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) which is infection of the uterus and fallopian tubes. PID may lead to infertility.
Chlamydia is tested for by taking a swab (a sample of secretions) from the cervix or vagina or by a urine sample. If an anal infection is suspected, a swab is taken from the anus.
Very effective treatment is available with antibiotics such as azithromycin or doxycyline. However, if complications of Chlamydia such as PID or testicular infection are suspected, a longer course of treatment is given.
The symptoms will usually start to ease over a few days after treatment. If you are still experiencing problems after a week you should see your doctor again.
Most people find this is best done directly, either in person or via phone call or test message. If you don't feel comfortable contacting partners personally, there are two websites enabling you to send a free and anonymous text message or email:
Your best protection against reinfection is by notifying your partners, ensuring that current partners are treated and consistent condom use with all future partners.
We know sometimes that alcohol and other drugs can influence your decisions about sex and condom use. One of our nurses, doctors or counsellors can chat with you about ways to further reduce your risk or refer you to another service for appropriate support.
Meeting sexual partners at sex on premises venues and online carries a greater risk of getting an STI. If you do meet partners this way, always practise safe sex.
We recommend a repeat test at 3 months after treatment to ensure you have not been reinfected.
This fact sheet is designed to provide you with information on Chlamydia. It is not intended to replace the need for a consultation with your doctor. All clients are strongly advised to check with their doctor about any specific questions or concerns they may have. Every effort has been taken to ensure that the information in this pamphlet is correct at the time of printing.

Mobile Downloads Forecast To Reach 98 Billion but Websites Still Sell Stuff
There are people who are unimpressed by what they think are the never ending stream of fads on the Internet. People who follow will remember how video was poised to take over and make content obsolete. Those folks scoffed, and rightfully so, when people said content on websites was going to be replaced by downloads from You Tube.
Then there was social media. Facebook and Twitter were going to change the face of Internet marketing but as of yet they've been unable to come up with a way of quantifying the numbers that big business needs before they invest big time. They are still big players on the social scene and something that no business can rightfully ignore, but there's still a big question mark how it will all fit together when it comes to advertising.
What might be the real champion and the one thing that could very well change the way business does business on the web are mobile downloads. Not because they are especially better at getting the messages across that business wants you to have, but because the masses are speaking and telling ecommerce how they want things done now and in the future.
Big Numbers
Take a look at the recent numbers that were reported by Berg Insight. Between 2010 and 2015, mobile application downloads will increase by an annual growth rate of 56.6 percent and hit 98 billion a year by the end of that time. This isn't just a fad or a trend that will find it's rightful place with the other options people have to get the information they want online, numbers this big are really talking about a game changing event.
So now the real question is what will business do to stay on top of the wave that's sweeping everyone with any kind of smartphone? How will advertising find the right way to get the message out to the target audience they're looking for? Maybe part of the answer lies in the news that a business app developer is using a SEM firm to sell their product on, you guessed it, their website.
Branded Business Apps has selected 90octane to handle their SEM campaigns using seo techniques and even a website. It all seems to lead back to that same starting point again and again, and there's not been a better way developed as yet to get the word out on the goods and services that you're selling than the website. Mobile apps are huge because everyone can carry them around on their smartphones, but they could very well run into the same road block that other techniques have found when they try to dethrone the website—if it works well there's no need to fix or change it.

Mobile SEO a must in 2011
By now people would have heard the term "Mobile SEO" but some still thinks of doing SEO to non-mobile friendly sites should take care the conversion part of consumers using mobile devices. Certainly not, I suggest starting a separate mobile site with mobile formatted digital content if you don't have one.
According to comScore, Mobile search was 9 percent of all queries in 2010 and could grow to 20 percent by 2012. So do you want to be one of the people missing those 20 percent Mobile search audience?
Mobile search engines bots and algorithms are different from web search engines. Googlebot-Mobile and other mobile search engine bots evaluates your mobile site as if they render on mobile phone and they rank results based on how well the site provides information based on mobile user query. The results can be even based on user agent's evaluation on different handsets like iphone, Erickson phone, LG phone, Blackberry or Samsung phone. To overcome this you need to have the digital content at the top of the page body and an easy site navigation needs to be implemented.
Mobile site SEO is different from normal site SEO. Mobile phone users search behavior is different from desktop users, i.e. Content size, navigational links and user interfaces are different from desktops & laptops to mobile devices.
Here are key points that can help knowing mobile search behavior & optimization
(a) To start with you need to think that you are going to target mobile users and not desktop users. Research & analyze your competitor's mobile site following factors like mobile user interface, digital content, tags & code.
(b) As said, mobile users are different and as well mobile Search Engines are different like Google Mobile, Yahoo Mobile and Bing Mobile. So do care that your site best fits for mobile users & mobile search bots.
(c) Have a plan to get a dotMobi domain and build your mobile web site, for the best and effective SEO. This has value than 'yourdomain.com/mobile' or 'm.yourdomain.com'.
(d)Make sure that you don't use Ajax, frames, flash and other presentations. Make the site simple and clean. This can help the site to load faster and users & bots can take advantage on fast loading site.
(e) Do use compliant markup language and mobile-friendly style sheets (CSS), means WML (or WAP 1.0) / xHTML and make sure you go for W3C's MobileOK guidelines
(f) Confirm that your mobile site code is crawl-able by using proper headers and robots.text file.
(g) Take advantage on the mobile predictive search key phrases that can help your business global & local. Optimize the mobile site based on the most preferred predictive search keyword phrases.
(h) Research your mobile audience and competitors rather than desktop audience and competitors. Optimize your mobile site content with mobile search key phrases and categories that your mobile audience will be using.
(i) Do make sure that you have good level of outbound links and the navigation is easy for mobile users and bots. Avoid deep & complex navigation for mobile sites.
(j) Have your key digital content placed on the top of the page body as the users and bots will find it easy.
(k) Test your mobile site to make sure that the site works properly across various mobile devices, also make sure that the mobile site loads fast.
(l) If your business is on selling products then go for m-commerce site with mobile compactable product catalog, galleries, shopping basket & billing admin with easy login.
(m) Make sure you have a click to call feature for your mobile site.
(n) If your business covers in global and is based on different locations then think of having multilingual mobile site and optimize based on specific location mobile audience.
(o) Do ping your mobile site to mobile search engines and submit to quality directories to build inlinks.
Plan to work on these points to proceed with good mobile SEO. Configure Google webmaster tool with mobile sitemap.xml & as well Google Analytics for you mobile site and see the difference in your business from your mobile audience.

Mobile Web Use in Office Draws Suspicion
Qumu is a business service provider that has done a new study and found that 74 percent of people surveyed believe people using their mobile devices at the workplace are accessing websites they would not with a company PC for fear of retribution.
Still 37% of those polled think using these devises on the sly in the office is not necessarily becoming an issue. On a lighter note, 63 % of those surveyed have caught colleagues looking at their smartphones during business meetings. Almost half have caught others hiding their mobile devices under tables and another 42% think those coworkers that are excusing themselves from a meeting to go to the washroom are in fact doing so to have a look at these devices.
Still there is a consensus that people who bring these devices to work should be able to use them for work related activities. Sixty one percent of those polled felt there was nothing wrong with using a smartphone for business email or other company related activities.
Google and Bing have got together with Edgenet and partnered for a new SEO product. By buying this new product, manufacturers can upload product information to the search engines mentioned above so their products can be distributed. However, there is a catch. Any of these items need to meet a minimum score that been set by the engines pertaining to quality.
This latest innovation is called Ezeedata Search and it makes it possible for companies to get their products listed even when they don't have a website. What's interesting here is fact that the manufacturer has complete control and can upload any data meeting the prescribed requirements on an ongoing basis. The data that the manufacturer wants shared can be hand picked here and this new innovation allows for complete control coupled with an ongoing search existence.
The numbers speak to the need for this innovation. In May of this year, there were 17 billion queries on search engines for goods and services and information about them as well. Brands are using this latest technique to improve their organic results since this trend is indicative of the way consumers are moving as they search online more and more for the products they want.
Beyond just the products the new breed of consumer is looking for recommendations and other attributes in social media as well. The Ezeedata Search is a great way for online retailers to stay ahead of the curve and needs for fresh relevant information that helps the consumer to make their minds up and keeps the products fresh at the same time.

Mobile Networks/Banking Gaining Momentum
It might be permanent or the recent Internet advertising industry's fascination with mobile networks and apps might be another passing fancy. It could be the new app technology that's just now sprouting wings could be the very thing to knock social media marketing off its pedestal, but regardless of how it all plays out, no serious business owner or marketer can ignore the influence mobile networks are having.
Case in point. Read the news lately and you'll know Europe is suffering through the fallout from the Recession ( seems like an oxymoron to use that term now , doesn't it? ) and are looking for ways to keep that part of the world afloat. But those Europeans are the seed of civilization and not easily discouraged. A recent report even has them forming an allegiance of sorts as far as mobile networking is concerned.
The leading mobile networks from across the pond have bonded together to create a network they say will unlock the true potential of this latest innovation. Everything Everywhere, Vodafone UK and Telefónica UK are the three companies named in this joint venture which will wind up offering the technology needed to make payments easier and quicker for those consumers who are using their smartphones and other technology to buy products. It's a smart move by these companies to capitalize on the presence of smartphone technology and the inroads business is making into this territory.
There is every indication this latest news from three big companies in the European theater is much more than a preemptive strike into unknown territory . A recent survey by comScore highlights the fact Europeans have increased their mobile banking in the first-quarter of this year by 40%. That translates into approximately 20 million Europeans checking in on their financial accounts with their banks through smartphone technology. The group that uses the technology the most according to the survey is the 25 to 34-year-old age bracket at 27% but the same research also indicates that less than 30% of people over the age of 45 access their financial banking information over the Internet.
Regardless of how it all plays out after the shine of being the latest technology wears off, mobile applications and smartphones will be the Holy Grail that business has been looking for in the next while and any smart entrepreneurs will do well to keep their eye on a recent developments in the field. One clear indication the technology will be here for quite some time is the fact the banks themselves are adopting mobile banking information and making it readily accessible.

10 killer tips for getting mobile subscribers for your blog
I've just bought a new phone - the Samsung M1. To make the most of it, I've been browsing websites and subscribing to blogs to see what it's like. There are definitely ways to improve the experience for mobile subscribers, along with casual readers. Here are 10 tips that should be of use.
1. Make your feed easy to locate.
It should be at the top of the page, or very close. Pushing your feed to the bottom of the page means that fewer people will subscribe - and mobile users may not subscribe at all.
2. Shorten your feed URL.
Some blogs try to put keywords or even a description in their feed URL, which may be good for SEO, but it's not nice to enter a long URL into your phone. For instance, ProBlogger's blog feed is feeds.feedburner.com/ProbloggerHelpingBloggersEarnMoney - this is just too long for mobile users. If your feed URL is already long, you could use a URL shortener to make life easier for mobile subscribers.
3. Use heading styles.
I've banged on about this in several previous posts, but it really becomes obvious if you don't use heading styles when browsing on a phone. Sometimes I do just bold the title of each tip at the start of the paragraph - other blogs may use bold text in a paragraph just before the body text - but this isn't great on a phone. Use a heading style for everything that should be a header - it makes your posts so much easier to browse.
4. Use paragraphs - and keep them short.
I know some bloggers seem to avoid the use of paragraphs, instead preferring to write a huge block of text - and others may use very long paragraphs. On a phone, this is a nightmare. It's tricky to determine how long a paragraph should be, as phones have smaller screens and each line of text will wrap much sooner than it would on a computer. Just try to avoid long paragraphs.
5. Write shorter posts.
If you don't need to write an extra 100-200 words, just don't. Better still, go back and edit out any unnecessary sections of your post if you're basically saying the same thing 3 or 4 times over. For some reason my phone doesn't always display the entire post in my feed, even though the feed itself contains the whole post. And there aren't any page numbers.
If you have something really vital to say in a long post - say it at the start! This is a good rule anyway, as it grabs the attention of a potential reader and gets them to keep on reading.
6. Consider offering a mobile-only feed.
I've always believed in "full feeds" - i.e. showing the full post in the feed, instead of just an excerpt. But as I said in #5, on a phone this may not work as expected. As a mobile user I'd still like to see a full feed, but a summary would probably be OK. That way, I can click through if I want to read the entire post. Avoid title-only feeds though - they are pretty pointless. At least provide a short description on each post.
7. Don't use feed ads.
When every post in a feed has the same annoying ad at the bottom, I see little reason to subscribe. These ads are bad enough in a feed reader. But on a phone, they are incredibly painful to deal with. Bottom line - mobile users won't bother subscribing if you use feed ads.
8. Limit the use of images.
Don't put images in your feed if they'll take ages to download - anything above 100KB is too big. Don't use images that are too tall, or too wide - this will cause horizontal scrolling on a phone. It may be easier just to omit the images from your feed - images can kill the mobile experience.
9. Don't rely on third-party services.
If you must use images or buttons in your posts, at least host them yourself. Loading a website on a phone can take longer than on a computer, and the fewer external resources you link to, the better. Generally this shouldn't be as much of an issue in your feed as on your site, but don't make it a problem just because you want to throw loads of images into your feed.
10. Subscribe to your own blog.
I suggest this anyway, but I strongly recommend subscribing to your blog from your phone, as well as browsing your blog from your phone. If you find any weirdness, you can make changes accordingly. If you've never visited your blog from a phone, you'll be in the dark, and you'll never know if mobile users have a good time on your site - if it loads at all.
Are you a mobile user? Have you subscribed to feeds on your phone? What's the experience like?

Blog Your Life With The Sony Bloggie Mobile HD Snap Camera
Whilst reading the paper yesterday I noticed a competition to win a new video camera called 'Bloggie'. There have been lots of great mobile video cameras over the last few years which have been targeted towards video bloggers (e.g. the flip) but Sony's Bloggie is the first camera from a major electronics company to include the word 'Blog' in the name of a device (to my knowledge).
There are two versions of the camera available. The MHS-PM5 is the basic model and retails for 9.99 in the USA. The MHS-CM5 is a little more advanced and looks more like a traditional Handycam. It retails for 9.99. Some regions also have a 2nd version of the basic model called the MHS-PM5K.
Both models can video record in 1920×1080 HD and 5MP still images and boasts SteadyShot® image stabilization and a built in USB arm for uploading and charging.
There are some differences between the two models. The PM5 has a 2.4″ LCD screen whilst the CM5's screen is slightly larger at 2.5″. The camera on the PM5 can swivel round 270 degrees but it stationary on the CM5. However, the LCD screen on the PM5 is stationary whilst more advanced CM5 can swivel it's screen around 270 degrees.
The PM5 can zoom 4 times digitally whilst the more advanced CM5 boasts 20X digital zoon (and 5X optically). For me the biggest difference between the two is the addition of a much needed HDMI output on the CM5, something which I believe should be standard on all full HD devices.
The basic model has a more fun look to it which is reminiscent of the popular Flip camera though I believe the more advanced CM5 offers better value for money as for an extra you get a much stronger zoom and the ability to connect directly to your computer and television using HDMI.
I haven't tried the Bloggie out yet but it looks like a great option for video bloggers who want to do quick videos for youtube. It comes in a range of colours too so you should find one which fits your personality.
As usual, Sony have used some strange currency converter for us in Europe as the basic PM5 model costs £159.00 and £199.00 for the more advanced CM5 (which at todays rates converts to around 9.40 and 9.62 respectively). Therefore it may be worth importing the Bloggie form North America rather than purchasing it locally.
If you are serious about getting the Sony Bloggie then I would encourage you to go to your local electronics store and try it out in person to see if it does what you need.
Thanks for reading

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Engine manifold vacuum is normal.
I'm not upset. Please don't think that. I realize its harder when you can't put hands on the vehicle. I was just hoping there might have been something you may have been aware of that we may have overlooked or haven't seen yet. But if you look back on my original post, the car runs fine & we had run it on the fuel injector cleaner(alternate fuel source), so that should rule out a fuel delivery problem. I believe this to be more of an electronics problem & we'll just have to wait & see if it gets more frequent & go from there. Attachments are only available to registered users.Register Here

Conduct a forensic examination of the packets, tins, jars and other containers in your pantry and fridge and you don't need to work for CSI to see how long most of them have been there.
In most cases the date is clearly marked – those spices bought for a one-off curry around 2005 or that block of feta that has hidden at the back of the fridge for nine months.
But what does that date actually mean and what is the difference between a "use by" and a "best before".
This advice, based on information mostly from Food Standards Australia, should help you waste less food as well as keep your family safe.
Use by
A Use-by date normally will be marked on foods that shouldn't be consumed after a particular date for health or safety reasons. In other words, eating them has the potential to cause illness or worse through food poisoning.
Use-by dates are particularly important on cooked, ready-to-eat meals that are chilled rather than frozen. Milk also has a use-by date – though you will normally smell when it is past its best before you drink it.
Shops are not allowed to sell food that is past its use-by date.
Best before
A best-before date is used for shelf-stable foods such as biscuits and confectionery, frozen foods and most raw food (meat, chicken, fish) that will be cooked before being eaten.
These foods can still be eaten safely after the date marked on them, but they may no longer be at their best in flavour or nutritional benefit.
Shops are allowed to sell food past a best-before date.
Food with a shelf-life of more than two years does not have to carry any date stamp.
Bread rules
Bread is an exception to the rule and can carry a "baked on" or "baked for" date.
Can I still eat it?
Manufacturers tend to be cautious in determining a best-before date and a commonsense approach from the consumer can prevent food being wasted. Keeping food in a cool, dark cupboard will improve its shelf life.
If food is obviously mouldy, spoilt, discoloured or infested with insects, then it should be thrown away. But if its packaging is intact and the date not too ancient, it is probably fine to consume.
Older food may be best used in a way that doesn't rely on it being at its peak – save a can of chick peas for a curry, say, rather than in a salad.
Can do
Cans of food are mostly sterilised by heating during production and can have a shelf life of up to four years.
Do not consume the contents of cans that are swollen, leaky, severely dented or showing any sign of rust.
Freeze frame
Food kept below -18C should stay in near-peak condition for several months. It's worth checking the temperature of your freezer, because higher temperatures will reduce this time. Buy frozen food with no obvious ice crystals, damaged packaging or iced-together lumps. Select frozen goods last when shopping and transport in an insulated container.
Information in this article is correct as of 26 February 2013.

This or That? Willie The Kid vs. Gillie Da Kid
There are too many rappers. Even the most diehard fans have a difficult time catching up with music from newbies and veterans alike, so a lot of quality material can inadvertently get ignored. We don't do it on purpose. We just don't always have the patience to wade through crops of artists to find the cream.
Chances are, you've been sleeping on Willie The Kid. The rapper hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan seemed to show up out of nowhere when he released a song called 'Sky Miles' with Curren$y in 2010, but that same year he dropped an EP with producer Lee Bannon called 'Never A Dull Moment.' He flexes a vignette-heavy style from the very first song, 'News Flash,' where he recalls balancing basketball with street life. The seven-track project never sits for too long, with every song hovering at or below the two minute mark. Four years later, he's chiseled his flow and perfected the fragmented free association style that Roc Marciano and Action Bronson also use, sprinkling their raps with vivid images of crime and luxury.

Many don't know that he's the brother of Wu-Tang affiliate La The Darkman, and together they started a company with DJ Cannon and DJ Drama, The Aphilliates, a couple years ago. They began churning out 'Gangsta Grillz' mixtapes, and that led to Willie getting a deal with Asylum/Warner for his debut album, 'Absolute Greatness,' in 2008. Featuring guests like Gucci Mane, Yung Joc, and Trey Songz, the album peaked at number 20 on the Billboard rap chart but didn't gain Willie much notoriety. It's a bit generic as Willie tries to find his voice, and though he's spitting fairly well, you can feel the A&R suggestions oozing through the seams.
It seems like Willie learned from the experience, though. Since then, he's released projects that pair him with one producer – 'Never A Dull Moment' with Lee Bannon, last year's finely-tailored 'Masterpiece Theatre EP' with Alchemist and most recently, 'The Living Daylights' with Bronze Nazareth, another faithful Wu-Tang henchman. He seems to be getting better with each release – 'Masterpiece Theatre' was one of the most slept on projects of 2013, playing like a blaxploitation flick with Willie as the main character donning robes and sipping champagne with a pinky ring on, earned from dirty deeds. 'Living Daylights' is, as he described it to Unkut's Robbie Ettelsion, a "snowy-ass project" with appropriate visitors — Roc Marciano, Sean Price, and Boldy James are among the now better-acclimated guest list. Bronze's warm, sample-laden beats allow Willie to open up about his personal life, making for what is perhaps his best release to date. It bodes well for what he has to offer in the future, as long as he doesn't get too mired in his own imagistic wordplay.

Gillie Da Kid has taken a different route to recognition. The one thing you probably know the Philly-bred spitter Gillie for is his beef with Lil' Wayne. He was allegedly signed with Cash Money in the early 2000s but was dropped in '03. Soon after, Wayne dropped a mixtape with Baby and threw a jab on 'Problem Solver,' explicitly mentioning Gillie. The North Philly rapper responded by popping up on street DVDs with other frustrated Cash Money members of the time, dissing Wayne and Baby and claiming that he'd ghostwritten for 'Tha Carter.' The beef came to a head when Wayne rapped, "I don't have time to deal with Willie the Squid" on 'Live From the 504′ from 'Da Drought 3′ (he also spit those lines for a booth freestyle on BET).
A one-time Neptunes collaborator and founding member of North Philly's Major Figgas crew Gillie has been shuffled between indie labels throughout the years without ever dropping a proper studio debut. Nowadays he's hardly ever mentioned unless he's sparring with Meek Mill, seeing how his music barely merits much attention. If he wrote hits for Lil' Wayne, surely he should be able to do the same for himself, right?
So here's what you should do: listen to Willie The Kid's 'Living Daylights' from earlier this year. Bronze Nazareth is one of the most trustworthy producers to come out from under the Wu, and Willie has carefully tweaked his delivery to sound more animated. When you're done with that, give 'Aquamarine' a spin. It's yet another full-length project by Willie that went mostly ignored by rap fans at large, yet it's filled with dope cuts like the dramatic 'Goodness Gracious' and the jazzy 'Sea Foam' (production credits are unfortunately absent on the web). It's this kind of slow, rewarding discovery that makes Willie such a dope artist to follow.

LUTHIERS EXHIBIT AT THE ADDISON STREET WINDOWS GALLERY Hand Making Stringed Instruments
Berkeley, California (Monday, November 28, 2005) - Bay Area musical instrument makers, members of the Northern California Association of Luthiers, will exhibit traditional guitar and ukulele making at the Addison Street Windows Gallery from December 1 through January 15, 2006. An exhibit demonstrating the hand making of stringed instruments can be seen at a reception planned for December 4, 3 p.m., weather permitting, on Addison Street in front of the Windows. The reception and exhibition are free and wheelchair accessible; the exhibition can be viewed 24 hours a day in the windows gallery.
This exhibition shows the work of Bay Area Luthiers working on a small and personal scale: from raw materials to parts-making and assembly processes, to finished instruments; all done with fairly low-tech tools. It's a rare opportunity to see a display of how musical instruments are made, and learn something about these interesting craftspeople.
American Lutherie, the hand making of stringed instruments, did not come into being before the late 1960s. Before then, all guitars were produced in factories. In Europe, instrument making is a centuries-old craft. Today there are two national American organizations, each with some 2,000 members, who view instrument building as anywhere between a hobby to a serious livelihood. As witnessed by a spate of recent glossy coffee-table books about guitars of the rich and famous, the hand made guitar has "arrived."
The acoustic guitar is a genuine American cultural icon, with its own mystique and socio-ethical place in American culture. The electric guitar is sometimes associated with the rebel and the outsider, but the acoustic guitar, in American culture, is usually in the hands of the hero, the noble honest working man, and the defender of social justice.
The Addison Street Windows Gallery is across the street from the Berkeley Repertory and Aurora Theaters. The exhibition is viewed from the sidewalk on Addison Street, it's free, and wheelchair accessible. The Windows Gallery is a project of the Civic Arts Program of the City of Berkeley in cooperation with the Civic Arts Commission.

Nambu is great because you can control where you enter your list of tweets etc and how you view them very tightly. Syrinx has more features like being able to list your friends and follow people etc. You'll easily find them all by Google. If anybody knows a yet more flexible one, I'd be happy to learn of it.

Four deadly snowmobile crashes in three days
Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:32:57 GMT —
The Chippewa County Sheriff's Department is investigating the latest of four snowmobile deaths that occurred over the weekend.
Chippewa County Deputies said 48-year-old Terri Tarzwell-Klee was driving a snowmobile in Trout Lake Township when she lost control on a curve and hit a tree. She was thrown from the snowmobile and was found unconscious at the scene.
Tarzwell-Klee was transported to War Memorial Hospital in Saulte Ste. Marie where she died from her injuries.
Deputies said just before the accident Tarzwell-Klee's 9-year-old daughter was riding on the snowmobile with her and she stopped to let her daughter switch sleds and ride with her father.
The Sheriffs Office reports that neither excessive speed nor alcohol appear to be factors in the accident.
Another snowmobile accident was reported in Gladwin County last Saturday.
A 51-year-old Midland County man was killed after a vehicle driven by a drunken relative struck his snowmobile near Secord Lake. The victim's name has not been released.
Two other snowmobile deaths took place on Trail 35 in Wexford County last Friday.

[edit] Systemd 183
[edit] Summary
Systemd 183 and newer introduce a number of noteworthy features.
[edit] Owner
- Name: Lennart Poettering, Kay Sievers, Harald Hoyer
- Email: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com
[edit] Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 18
- Last updated: 2012-05-30
- Percentage of completion: 75%
Systemd 183 has been built in rawhide, and includes all the features described in this page.
[edit] Detailed Description
- Starting with systemd 183, udev has been merged into systemd. The udev daemon is now installed as /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd.
- /tmp is mounted as a tmpfs by default (this is covered separately in Features/tmp-on-tmpfs)
- Systemd and logind provide APIs for scheduled shutdown, as well as suspend and hibernate. This also includes inhibiting logic
- Hardware watchdogs are supported.
- The default terminal emulation for ttys is now vt102
- The readahead logic has been improved.
- A new systemd-delta utility has been added.
- Systemd is now used in the initramfs produced by dracut.
- Systemd now includes a testsuite (based on the dracut testsuite).
- A framework for offline system updates has been added (see Features/OfflineSystemUpdates)
[edit] Benefit to Fedora
Fedora stays at the forefront of init system development. Systemd in the initramfs makes debugging and analyzing early boot easier. The systemd testsuite can be very useful for autoqa.
[edit] Scope
- Included in systemd 183 or newer in rawhide (DONE)
- Dracut needs to be changed to use systemd in the initramfs (DONE)
- The new shutdown/suspend/inhibit APIs should be used by gnome-session [patch], gnome-shell [patch] and gnome-settings-daemon [patch]
- The offline system update framework should be used by PackageKit, this also requires some changes to gnome-packagekit and gnome-shell
[edit] How To Test
[edit] User Experience
[edit] Dependencies
Packages that depend on new features and APIs introduced in systemd 183 include:
- dracut (systemd in initramfs)
- gnome-session (shutdown/suspend/inhibit APIs)
- gnome-settings-daemon (shutdown/suspend/inhibit APIs)
- PackageKit (offline systemd updates)
[edit] Contingency Plan
Since systemd 183 is already in rawhide and working, the only risk is that some of the integration (in dracut, gnome-session or PackageKit) might not be completed in time for F18. In that case, we'll defer the use of the new features until F19.
[edit] Documentation
- The systemd [NEWS] file explains the new features in more detail
- Offline system updates are [documented] on the systemd wiki
- systemd-delta has a [man page]
[edit] Release Notes
Fedora 18 includes systemd 183.
