Brightening the lives of SA's sick kids starts with hope…and YOU!
Big Hearts is a special group of supporters who make a donation every month.
Knowing we have the long term support of regular donors means we can plan for the future, helping the hospital provide the very best care when and where it's needed most.
To become a Big Heart all you need to do is commit to a monthly gift. You can choose an amount that suits you ($10 minimum/month) and if your circumstances change you can easily amend or stop your payment.
As a Big Heart you will receive a special welcome pack, regular updates and exclusive offers and invitations.
Why? Because you'll be supporting sick kids and their families, the doctors and the nurses who look after them and those in need of care who have yet to come, but know they can rely on the Women's and Children's Hospital to be there when they need it most.
The WCHF is building awareness and raising critical funds through person-to-person conversations on the street in South Australia.

Every hour of every day, babies, women and children benefit from the expert staff, dedicated research, specialised equipment, excellent services and enhanced facilities at the Women's and Children's Hospital in Adelaide.
Much of this would not be possible without you, the supporters and donors of the Women's & Children's Hospital Foundation.
Our Major Gifts Program comprises a very special group of donors who have made a gift of $10,000 or more annually to the WCH Foundation. These donors are currently investing in research and education, life-saving equipment, enhanced facilities and additional family-centred services such as play and art therapists as well as other areas of high importance and need.
For more information about the Major Gifts Program or to learn more about how your gift can make a real difference in our community, both the Manager Major Gifts or our CEO would be delighted to speak with you. Denise Rowe, Manager Philanthropy08 8464 firstname.lastname@example.com
Leave a lasting legacy of hope to help SA's sick children.
Since the Adelaide Children's Hospital was established in the 1870s, the people of South Australia have shown how much they care. From the very beginning, the community has generously responded to help meet the needs of sick children and their families both financially and through in-kind support.
The most significant financial help given to the hospital is realised from leaving a gift in a Will to the Women's & Children's Hospital Foundation. After making sure family and friends are taken care of, there is comfort in knowing that your legacy lives on.
With a gift in your will, you could help invest in vital medical equipment; in programs that bring a few precious moments of respite or escape for a child who has spent days in bed; or in research, making a critical investment in the future wellbeing of all women and children in our state.
Gifts from bequests can come in many forms depending on your individual circumstances:
• The residue of your estate e.g. the amount left once you have provided for others
• A percentage of the overall value of your estate to accommodate growth or reduction in its value over time
• A set amount of money, an insurance policy, real estate or shares.
The wording of your bequest
The wording of your bequest is extremely important and requires special attention when drafting your Will. Don't forget to get legal advice from a Legal Advisor, the State Trustee, Public Trustee or a Trustee Company. They can help you draft or change your will and should use the following wording depending on which choice is most appropriate:
I give to the Women's & Children's Hospital foundation Incorporated ABN 99 682 331 968
The rest and residue of my Estate or
_______ per cent of my Estate or
_______ per cent of the residue of my Estate or
the sum of $_________________
free of all duties and testamentary expenses for its general purposes and I direct that the receipt of the Chief Executive officer or other proper officer of that organisation shall be sufficient discharge to my executors for this bequest.
Include a charity
The WCH Foundation is a proud member of Include a Charity - a national campaign involving 140 charities, that aims to raise awareness about the ease and effectiveness of leaving a gift in a Will.
Include a Charity week takes place from 8-14 September. To find out more and help spread the " Live On" message, visit www.includeacharity.org.au. To watch the TV advertisement, see below.

Car aficionados appreciate the a brand you can trust built into each Chevrolet, and know that only the highest quality repair Monte Carlo parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Chevrolet automobile owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their Monte Carlo around town. It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Power Steering Pump to repair your car or truck. Anyone who owns a Chevrolet knows that when it comes to fixing their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Never underestimate the importance of your power steering system and all of its parts. If you were to analogize your Chevrolet Monte Carlo steering system with the human body, the power steering pump would be its heart and the fluid would be its blood. Your Chevrolet Monte Carlo power steering pump is powered by the crankshaft, and connected via a drive belt between the crank and the pump pulley. It keeps the power steering fluid under constant pressure so that your rack and pinion can make steering easier. You will notice a gradual loss of your power steering if the power steering pump is leaking, but if it seizes you can expect no power steering at all.
Get your Monte Carlo back on the road with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy.

Hey, thanks a lot Geoff. I'm still learning and right now I guess a lot. I think the key to understanding though is that there are two exposures, the flash exposure and the ambient light exposure. The flash exposure is made up of the ISO, aperture and flash power. The ambient light exposure is made up of ISO, shutter speed and aperture. So to change the background light only, then alter the shutter speed. To change the subject light only, change the flash power.

Obama to announce withdrawal of 34k troops from Afghanistan
US President Barack Obama in his State of the Union Address will announce the withdrawal of 34,000 US troops from Afghanistan in the next one year.
Washington: US President Barack Obama in his State of the Union Address will announce the withdrawal of 34,000 US troops from Afghanistan in the next one year, senior administration officials said Tuesday.
The announcement would decrease by half the number of US forces serving in Afghanistan and leave about 26,000 troops by February 2014. Currently, there are 66,000 US troops in Afghanistan.
"Before making his announcement, President Obama spoke on the phone with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to inform them of his decision," the senior Administration official said.
"Further reductions will continue through the end of 2014 as Afghans take full responsibility for their security," a senior administration official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak.
"Thanks to our brave men and women in uniform, our Afghan partners and ISAF partners from 49 countries, we have struck devastating blows against al Qaeda, and Afghan forces continue to grow stronger, with 352,000 now in training or on duty," the official said.
"Afghan forces are leading nearly 90 percent of operations across the country, and by this spring, they`ll be assuming the lead, with the United States and ISAF stepped back to a train, advise and assist role.
"In that capacity, we will no longer be leading combat operations, but will provide support to the Afghans as they lead operations through the crucial fighting seasons of 2013 and 2014. By the end of 2014, we will responsibly bring our war in Afghanistan to a close," the official said.
At the NATO Summits in Lisbon and Chicago, the US and its partners laid out a transition plan that would lead to the Afghan Government having full responsibility for security by the end of 2014, the official said.
"We are implementing that plan in a way that strengthens Afghan capacity and respects Afghan sovereignty, while preserving the important gains that have been made in recent years," he said.
The President has made his decision based on the recommendations of the military and his National Security team, as well as consultations with President Karzai and our international coalition partners.
The official said Obama will not be making any further announcements about troop numbers tonight, nor has he made any decisions beyond the one he is announcing.
"The United States remains fully committed to a long-term strategic partnership with the Afghan Government and the Afghan people.
"We remain in negotiations on a Bilateral Security Agreement with the Afghan Government that would contemplate two narrow missions for the United States beyond 2014 -- targeting the remnants of al Qaeda and training Afghan Security Forces," the official said.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Mixes Up Stealth Mechanics
As reported by Joystiq we may be seeing some significant changes to how we slither as Snake (or should I say Big Boss) in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
During a press-only gameplay reveal, famed director Hideo Kojima displayed some of the new stealth mechanics that will be used in the upcoming game. One major difference that may upset some fans is the changes in the alert system. When spotted by an enemy, Big Boss will be given the opportunity to dispatch (A.K.A. brutally kill) the enemy soldier unlucky enough to have seen him. This aborts the famous Metal Gear alert state and allows Big Boss to remain hidden without an alarm being raised.
**Ahh! KILL IT!**
The focal point of this is a game-changing experience for the Metal Gear franchise: In past installments, if you are seen, you're better off hiding from your aggressor as they could soon overwhelm you in numbers. However, here, you are encouraged to engage and deal with the threat. The true questions is whether or not this will make Metal Gear V feel less like a Metal Gear game and more like a tactical third-person-shooter.
**At least it's not this crap again.**
Needless to say, Kojima has pulled off weirder stunts than this - but I am still worried. Let's just wait until we see some of this in action (which will likely be during Tokyo Game Show) before we start trying to crucify Kojima. In Kojima We Trust.
What do you think about the changes to tactical espionage action in The Phantom Pain? Do you have trust in Kojima, or is this getting sacrilegious with the tried and true mechanics of Metal Gear? Sound off in the comments down below and maybe we can sneak into a base together and take their snacks!
Theseus_6997March 20, 2014, 4:06 pmThe chameleon suit is gone, therefore stealth will never be as fun again. By far the best item in any metal gear. Without it snake isn't the same. In ground zeroes you can't even knock on walls to draw enemies in. Seems to me like kojima replaced quality with quantity.
Chai Chien LiangSeptember 8, 2013, 9:17 pmContributorNo non-lethal take down like nice guy Sam Fisher? I am disappointed...
We could always distract our enemies using Quiet!

31 August 2014 65 mins
In the avalanche of modern developments, will the mountain-based cultures of northeast Turkey suffocate? As social and economic forces encroach upon traditional culture in Turkey's Kachkar mountain highlands, many distinctive practices have vanished or are facing extinction. Among the three generations now straddling the not-yet-forgotten past and the globalized tomorrow, some are finding hope in one tradition that could stand alone as the primary catalyst for ongoing cultural identity, communal peace, and the celebration of life. 1 hr 4 min.

Half Truths and Speculations
(If you want to tell me that certain kinds of jazz are not opaque, that's fine. You're wrong. Someone said that are posts were well-reasoned but not very energetic and cited Cheap Truth as an example. That's about as Cheap Truth as I get and I can make broad sweeping statements about jazz because I have only the most superficial knowledge of it and no friends in the field of jazz.)
My partner, who has been reading sf for years is now reading, on my recommendation, Stars In My Pocket Like Grains of Sand (which has just be re-introduced in a twentieth anniversary edition.) MP doesn't have much of a problem understanding it. But the joys of Delany's work for me, a reader, are watching his deft use of postmodern ideas to shape his universe (I would never have shaped a universe that way) the way his theoretical linguistics and gender politics come together in the construction of his grammar (in Stars In My Pocket all adults are 'women' regardless of gender and all objects of sexual desire are 'men' and pronouns reflect this. The language is heavily influenced by a race whose sexual and social habits most closely reflect spiders.) I want to read Ian Banks and Samuel R. Delany.
Yet I think one of the reasons that sf readership demographics are shifting--that while there is an explosion of interest in sf in movies and games the market for books is not expanding--is because the cool stuff, the zeitgeisty stuff happening in sf is happening in books that its hard for people outside the genre to read. We are rightfully tired of Adam and Eve stories written by people who don't know that a lot of Adam and Eve stories have been written. When my partner heard Michael Cunningham (the guy who wrote The Hours, the book that was made into a movie where Nicole Kidman played Virginia Woolf) interviewed on NPR about his new book, MP was amused. The third section of Specimen Days is science fiction and Cunningham explained with great pride how he had invented a future where technology didn't always work. It was based, he said, on his experience with his clicker for his television and how it didn't always work. My partner's response was, "Did he sleep through cyberpunk?" Evidently he did. And the television show Dark Angel as well. Having people reinvent the wheel is annoying because usually, somewhere, someone has made a really, really good wheel.
I've been writing about how I want fiction to press beyond expected conventions. To have something that makes it unexpected for me. But maybe the barrier between naive and informed reader is getting very high. The things that are going to make sf good are not more sophisticated extrapolations of societies in the style of Charles Stross (although there is still a place for Stross because some people like that stuff, just as some people like that jazz I find opaque.) The answer is not to write Heinlein juveniles. What was accessible fifty years ago is not in a world where one of the bestselling YA novels is Rainbow Party by Paul Ruditis (which starts with girls shopping for lipstick colors to identify partners at a teen sex party called a rainbow party.)
I don't know what to do with this idea. I'm not on the zeitgeist. Part of me really hates the zeitgeist. Flaubert wasn't writing on the zeitgeist. (But Dickens was.) Ian Banks is fucking brilliant, but he's not on the zeitgeist, either. Who are we writing for, a smaller and smaller crowd of people who appreciate our expertise? That's obviously an overstatement, as anybody who has walked into a bookstore and scanned the shelves knows. Robert Jordan and George R.R. Martin are not writing for small groups of people. But none of us are writing that or reading it, or recommending it.
Whither goes the field? And should we just abandon it and head for the slipstream?

I'm a freelancer. I'm a consultant. I guess sometimes I'm a specialist. Often, I'm just the guy that you call when you don't know what exactly needs to be done and you want to apply a creative approach to any deficiencies or gaps you're seeing in what you do. I use a MacBook, an iPhone and occasionally some paper, but change the set of tools, some of the skills and essentially, I'm a mercenary. If that sounds like a negative statement, I apologize, it's not meant to be derisory. It's really just all about 'ethics'.
I only evoke the 'mercenary' tag since it's a career title so often associated with a lack of, or perhaps just 'looser than average', ethics. My past experiences as an employee were occasionally spotted with ethical dilemmas that I had to navigate my way through. Those concerns were, however, few and far between and often with much less reach in the outside world. Not at all like the sort that I, as a freelancer, find myself fumbling with.
To be clear and to put at ease any concerns about my character as an individual, let me first explain that I'm specifically referring to the 'grey areas'. Ethical issues that are 'black and white' in their composition, that's not up for discussion.
Is it ok to over-charge a client? Bleed them dry and maximize profit as much as one can by fudging hours, lying, providing them with services they don't need, phantom charges, exorbitant rates, add-on service fees, etc? Well obviously the answer there is NO. Not only is that 'wrong' but anyone with any common sense will tell you that, as a business model, that doesn't make any sense at all. But this isn't the sort of ethical dilemma I'm trying to broach either.
What about accepting a job with a client whose intent it is to defraud people? Phishing scams, selling bootleg knock-off goods, scraping email addresses to sell on to spammers and marketing companies? Credit card fraud? Well, NO, that's not acceptable either. Helping your client steal, commit a crime or defraud anyone, like stealing from the client yourself, is a no-brainer. You don't do it. As a general rule of thumb, just don't be an asshole and you're in the clear.
For most of us though, thankfully, the above examples have obvious answers. This isn't the case with some of the more personal dilemmas.

Set in England and Hong Kong in the 1920s, The Painted Veil is the story of the beautiful but love-starved Kitty Fane. When her husband discovers her adulterous affair, he forces her to accompany him to the heart of a cholera epidemic. Stripped of the British society of her youth and the small but effective society she fought so hard to attain in Hong Kong, she is compelled by her awakening conscience to reassess her life and learn how to love.
The Painted Veil is a beautifully written affirmation of the human capacity to grow, to change, and to forgive.
The great Maugham here offers the 1925 story of Kitty Fane, an adulterous wife forced to take a hard look at her own life after her husband takes her to where there is a cholera epidemic. The things she thought important suddenly don't seem so. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

No Relief in Sight for the Coffee Market
Futures Have Climbed 35% Since June; 'It's a Great Time to Be a Producer, and a Difficult Time to Be a Roaster'
SÃO PAULO, Brazil—Prices for coffee beans have returned to nearly 13-year highs, defying expectations for a selloff ahead of Brazil's closely watched harvest.
Coffee futures have shot up 35% since early June, when renewed worries about the availability of prized arabica beans from Central America came to the fore. Back-to-back crop problems in places like Colombia have whittled down global supplies of arabica coffee, but a bumper...

I've spent the last couple of weeks doing a lot of lead climbing. Two weeks ago, the second National Lead competition was being held in my home gym: Mountain Network Amsterdam. I managed to top out all routes and ended up 1st. Although the routes were not that hard physically, it was a good mental preparation for the upcoming Worldcup season. Furthermore, I was asked to test the men's routes before the comp, which was a lot of fun and a good opportunity to do some onsight training.

Although the weather was pretty bad, we found some beautiful dry lines. In my opinion, a lot of the routes in the Frankenjura are not really worth climbing, but it is the seek for those nice lines that makes climbing in this area special to me. In the end I managed to climb the really short and bouldery 8a Leftfield (super cool moves!), the more sustained 8a+ Desperado, the super classic 8a+ Witchcraft and some 7c/+'s flash. Whit those 8's I reached the magic number of 100 8-degree routes!
Now it's time for the last bit of endurance training before the start of the international competition season, which will start in a bit more than two weeks in Chamonix.

Intro : This trip suppose to be a solo trip
Batam Travel Blog› entry 1 of 3 › view all entries
When the plan goes unplan
As most of my trips, I booked the ticket for this one long way in advance. The plan was four of us visit Singapore (via Batam). And just like what usually happen in most of the advanced ticket bookings, eight weeks before the D-Day, I found out that the others bailed on me and cancelled this trip. Done my research and calculation I take the opportunity of doing solo trip, plus I added new destination, to visit KL from Singapore. I also contacted some TB friends like Flo (coffefiary), Erna (ErnaButterfly), Ash (ashraffrahman), Shuyi (luashuyi) and Naj (najiah10) *God knows how I love them all!* just to make sure I'll be accompanied most of times in both Singapore and KL.
Highschool reunion
Well then, another thing happened..one week before the trip started I attended a highschool reunion and meet one of my long lost friend, Mario. We did a lot of catch up, well long story short, he interested in joining me on this trip. Everything was going so fast after that, he got his passport renewed, book the tickets...voila! I got a travel partner. And oh, one more thing..see, because three other friends won't be using the depart ticket, we plan to use one of the ticket for Mario. One tiny problem is that the ticket is not under Mario's name, and it was the X class ticket which means no refund, no change schedule whatsoever. I'm not sure what were we thinking by that time, but we decide to try using one of the ticket owner's ID to get Mario checked in.
Whatta morning!
February 7th, our flight to Batam is 06.40 in the morning. My dad woke me up at 4ish, and then take me to the airport. Arrived at the airport at 6, I still cant reach Mario on the telephone, and started to worry that he didn't manage to wake up on time. But apparently I have to worry about Mario later on because the airport guy just told me that I was in the wrong terminal!!!Not enough that I have to run two terminals away, but I have to run with my father non-stop babbling about me got the wrong info about those terminals...Jeez. Just when I reach the correct terminal, Mario called, said that he's just leaving his house "what??!are you kidding man?!!by the way get direct to terminal !1A, I'll try to get you checked in". So I went to the ticket window to get me and Mario checked in, I gave the airline guy the borrowed ID together with my ID and explained to him that my friend will be late, but I have his ID with me. And I was so releived when he said I can checked Mario in first and I can go directly to the gate. After that I said goodbyes to my angry dad and wait for Mario. He arrived at 06.30 and we run to the gate. But when the officer checked the boarding pass he didn't find Mario's on it!!!panic..panic..panic..I ran to the first guy again. And there it was the boarding pass!!!So you think it's over??na-ah..when the first guy saw Mario, he asked "that guy (he referred to Mario) looked different from the ID"..GOD!I almost fainted. But in the middle of my panick attack I manage to pull up some acting skills "What?Which guy? noo.. that's not him..that one is my friend" and pointing to some random guy so faar away. "Oh come on, we're late already!!!" Thank you Lord, he gave away the boarding pass and let us ran as fast as we can to the gate. Apparently we found out that the bus which suppose to take us to the plane already leaving and it is impossible for us to reach the plan by feet since we were going to use the plane which just arrived from KL and that time parked in International Terminal while we were in Domestic Terminal(Jeez..what's with those terminalss anywaayysss???). So we got another airlines guy pick us up using a van. I keep asking him "are we the last ones?" you know, just to ease some guilt :P but apparently yeah, we ARE the last, and they are all WAITING for us. I tried to ignore the applause as we entered the plane and as soon as I put my ass down I said to Mario "This better be one hell of a good trip, cos this is too much already for me in one morning"
We arrived at Batam around 8ish, grabbed a cab and went directly to Batam Centre where we going to cross to Singapore via Singapore Straits. One way ferry ticket cost us 21 SGD, we took Penguin cos it was cuter name than BatamFast (now they should really think seriously before naming their ferry company). We had breakfast (finally!), a kaya toast with cheese and honey, not forget to buy some Tolak Angin, my favorite travel kit before get in to the boat. We were too busy chatting around about Malaka Straits, pirates and Johny Depp's movies till we found that the other person who was sit next to Mario moved to another seat. May he found some peace there :P.

How to Systemize Your 2017 Blog Content Creation
Something I've noticed is that service providers tend to focus more on marketing than on content creation and planning. This isn't a bad thing… but the importance of systemizing your 2017 blog content creation is highly underrated.
When you're thinking about planning out your 2017 blog content creation, imagine it in terms of a big funnel. That funnel's ultimate goal being to convert brand-new blog readers into paying customers over a period of time. Depending on your price range, that period of time can vary. But regardless of your funnel's length, your blog content plays a big part in it.
Your blog content does a lot of things for you as a service provider:
- Allows you to share your expertise and knowledge
- Positions you as a leader in your niche
- Educates your audience on what you do and who you are
- Allows you to separate out potential clients from people who will never purchase from you
- Encourages potential clients to sign up for your email list
What you write on your website is also one of the very first touch points that you will have with most of your potential clients.
The first thing that most people do when they stumble across someone new online is read one of their recent blog posts! Don't you want that blog post to be something that blows them away?
Not only could what you write about super impress them…if you plan out your 2017 blog content creation the right way, it could also help you do the job of ushering that new audience member onto your email list, where you can then nurture them into a purchase.
Alright, I think I've talked enough about why your 2017 blog content creation should be at the forefront of your mind. So now let's go ahead and talk about how to actually do it.
How to Systemize Your 2017 Blog Content Creation
Come Up With a Goal for 2017
The very first thing you need to do is start at the beginning: what is your big, ultimate business goal for 2017? I don't know about you, but for me, I have a certain dollar amount in mind that I'd love to hit before we get to 2018. Or maybe you'd love to transition from working full-time to working from home. Or maybe it's a particular number of clients you want to work with.
Regardless of what that big awesome goal is, you need to know what you're aiming for in order to start planning out all the little details.
So now that you have that big goal in mind, it's time to start mapping out how you are going to get there. Personally, I found Megan Minns' planning spreadsheets super helpful. They allowed me to easily see my annual, quarterly, and monthly goals laid out at a glance, and it become so much more obvious what I would need to do in order to make my goal amount of money in 2017.
Break Down Your Big Goal into 4 Smaller Goals
Once you have your big ultimate goal for 2017 figured out, try and visualize how you can break that down into 4 steps, or smaller goals. So, for example, if you want to make $100,000 in 2017, it's easy to see that each quarter it should be your goal to make $25,000.
But now let's get a bit more specific. Alright, you want to make $25,000 each quarter. What does that actually look like? What products and services are you planning to sell in order to bring in that huge chunk of change every three months?
At this point, you should probably have an idea of what specific services and products you will be offering throughout 2017, and have an idea of which months will include which launches or big promotional pushes. Sometimes it can be helpful to literally draw this all out on a piece of paper.
Mapping Out Your Launch Plan
So go ahead and write down all of your current products and services that you have available. Next to that, write out what new products and services you hope to launch in 2017. Ideally, you will need to focus a full 3 months on each new launch. Because of that, make sure you're not planning to create/relaunch more than 4 new things in one year.
Now when you look at your yearly plan, you should have one big focus or launch for each quarter. But some business owners just offer one service! For example, if you are a brand designer, you might just have one service or package for sale in 2017. It's totally okay for you to just focus on that for all four quarters!
One tip for that is to make sure you're not splitting it out evenly if you are in growth mode.
For example, if your goal is to sell 40 packages in 2017, don't make your quarterly goals to sell 10 packages each. Shoot for 6 packages in the first quarter, 8 packages in the second, 12 packages in the third, and 14 packages in the fourth. This is more realistic, and mimics what a growth-focused year of business should look like.
If you've been in business for 5+ years, your sales might be starting to even out, and at that point, it would be more realistic to set an equal goal for each quarter.
Come Up With Your 2017 Blog Content Creation Plan
Now that you've mapped out where you see your year heading, and you know what you will be promoting during each quarter, it's time to map out your 2017 blog content creation.
This is the fun part!
Now that you know you're launching or promoting X in the first quarter, let's figure out what types of content you'll produce during that time. Pretty much all of your content should somehow relate to whatever you are trying to sell during that quarter.
For example, if you are trying to sell a branding package, your content might look like this…
Quarter #1 Blog Post Content:
- What is Branding?
- The Importance of Branding & Why You Need It
- The Elements of Branding
- How to Choose the Perfect Brand Designer
- How to Brand Your Social Media Channels
- Why Hiring a Branding Professional is Worth the Money
- A Branding Case Study
- Why Branded Photography is the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
- Behind-the-Scenes of a Brand Designer's Day
- Why Instagram is Your Most Important Branding Tool
- How Having Good Branding Gets You More Clients
- What to Expect From Your Brand Design Package
And just like that, you have all of your blog posts planned out for the whole quarter! Once that launch is over, transition into the next subject of content. That content should relate to what you're selling in the second quarter of 2017.
While you're planning all of this out, you'll probably want to consider other types of content you'll need to create. That could include social media posts, email sequences/newsletters, etc. Create a complimentary list of all of those ingredients next to your blog post list.
Now you'll be able to batch out your 2017 blog content creation super easily!

This is a really great post and it's easy to read. I appreciate how you broke up the categories!
Wow – this is a lot to take in. A great reference though
I love the examples you gave that relate directly to your goals! I think so many times we forget that the content we create can be more than just a weekly blog post, but a small part in a much bigger system!
I really like this idea! It makes it so much easier to plan blogging content, which I need help with!

I have tried EBC, Brembo, Audi TT and even S3 Discs with no joy... Anyone know if the 170bhp uses larger discs with same offset but larger centre space for the hubs??? Any ideas....PLEASE!!!

Until last week, Turkey would have seemed like the model modern Muslim country. Its historic cities and pristine beaches were full of tourists. Istanbul, Ankara and other cities were bustling with activity, cafés and bars overflowing, shops and restaurants doing brisk business. Politically, it seemed stable. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a decade into his uncontested rule, had just met with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House, where he reiterated Turkey's commitment to Western standards of human rights and rule of law.
Then all hell broke loose. Taksim Square, Istanbul's heart, burned. In Ankara and Izmir, protests pitted rock-throwing youths against water cannons and tear gas. The spark for the chaos was innocuous enough: a peaceful sit-in in a park in Taksim, protesting against a planned renovation that would see the park replaced with a shopping mall and a replica of an Ottoman-era barracks.
Environmentalists had been planning the sit-in for weeks, calling together Istanbul's growing number of jugglers, hippies and artists for what was supposed to be a kind of festival-cum-occupation. Being a part-time juggler myself, I was invited in those early days and for the time I spent there, it was the kind of protest that could be easily transplanted to Canada or anywhere in Europe – colourful and creative, attracting well-educated and environmentally aware young people.
Then, the police attacked.
What's played out since has shocked much of the world. But as knows anyone who's lived in Turkey for any period of time over the past decade, it was inevitable.
These protests are the most visible incarnation of a recent rise in discontent over the increasingly authoritarian style of governance of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). Last year, residents of Cirali, a small holiday village on the Mediterranean coast, rose up against government plans to turn their idyllic retreat into another five-star resort. Others, mostly farmers, marched in nearby Antalya, angered over land reforms that they said would open up protected forests to hotel developers, many of whom have strong links to the government.
While some have tried to link the current violence to growing tensions between the Islamist-rooted AKP and secularists, the reality is not so ideologically clear-cut. It's no accident that Turkey's environmental movement is at the forefront of the challenge to the AKP. Over the past decade, Turkey has experienced a massive construction boom. The country's robust economy and inherent physical beauty have launched a tourism industry with lucrative potential.
But the push forward on the construction front has inspired push back. Young Turks have watched in horror as their historic neighbourhoods and green spaces have been demolished in favour of the glitzy vision of a New Turkey harboured by the AKP and its supporters in big business.
Many are beginning to realize that Islam is a red herring. A recent ban on the consumption of alcohol in public places, for example, only brings Turkey's liquor laws more in line with Western countries. Even with that law in place, Turkey remains wetter than most of Canada, with corner stores overflowing with alcohol and restrictions on sales only very loosely enforced. Even legally underage Turks can buy booze more or less at any time, day or night.
Other social restrictions, including a proposed ban on kissing on buses, have been announced but then faded away.
Most observers of Turkey's development under the AKP agree that Islam is a guiding principle for Mr. Erdogan in much the same way that Christian values guide U.S. Republicans. So while he may be pushing the country toward a more socially conservative outlook – making it harder for women to have an abortion, for example – fears of Islamization in the form of the implementation of sharia law are overblown.
The real concern is more economic than religious. The AKP is clearly ideologically bound to free-market capitalism. This, more than Islam, is what irks many of the protesters. Over the past decade, the AKP has exhibited increasing signs of crony capitalism. Its supporters, largely from the religiously conservative business community, have benefited from Turkey's economic boom, but opponents have been sidelined.
There have been benefits: The average Turk's yearly income has more than tripled under AKP rule to about $10,000 (U.S.). Turkey remains the fastest-growing economy in Europe and its powerful geopolitical position in a region with far-reaching global consequences has been assured.
On the dark side, however, press freedoms have been greatly eroded (according to a 2012 Reporters Without Borders report, Turkey has become the "world's biggest prison for journalists"), allowing the AKP to push forward its domestic and foreign-policy agendas with little or no independent criticism. Mr. Erdogan's disdain for independent media borders on callous – Sunday, he called Twitter "the best example of lies" and social media in general "the worst menace to society."
Turkey's youth, some of the most digitally connected in the region, obviously take offence to such overtones. The protests in Taksim Square have evolved into an emphatic renunciation of Mr. Erdogan's patriarchal stance and his apparent belief that he alone knows what is best for his country.
Whether he'll listen to such voices is less certain. Mr. Erdogan's public announcements in the wake of the protests haven't inspired confidence. He has repeatedly said the construction of the shopping mall and Ottoman barracks will go ahead, despite large-scale public opposition, and referred to protesters as "wild extremists" and "looters." He also warned that "if this is a social movement, where they gather 20, I will get up and gather 200,000 people. Where they gather 100,000, I will bring together one million from my party."
It's unclear whether Mr. Erdogan has become deluded by power or utterly lost sight of how an inclusive democracy works. The growing scope of the protests should be a wake-up call; many who have previously voted for the AKP have come out in support of the protesters.
Turkey's rapid rise under single-party rule has produced a leadership that feels free to do as it pleases. Those days, however, may be coming to an end.Report Typo/Error

BONSALL -- The county Department of Parks and Recreation will sponsor the first in a series of public meetings to discuss the proposed San Luis Rey River Park Master Plan at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Bonsall Community Center, 31505 Old River Road.
The plan will establish the framework for development of a river park within the 8-mile corridor of the San Luis Rey River between Interstate 15 and the Old Bonsall Bridge. In March 2003, the county Board of Supervisors approved $500,000 to proceed with preparation of a concept plan for the park. The park will be developed in coordination with Caltrans and the widening of Highway 76.
Another meeting will take place Jan. 10 with time and location to be announced. Two more meetings will be scheduled later in 2005. For information, call (858) 694-3030 or visit www.sdparks.org.

Asian stocks consolidate after Wall Street gains, oil slips
A man stands next to an electronic board showing stock prices in Tokyo, Japan, August 18, 2016. REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon
Asian stocks consolidated a recent run of gains on Wednesday, helped by Wall Street's rise overnight, even as oil prices slid on trade data showing a surprise build-up in U.S. crude stocks. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS eased 0.1 percent in early trades. It has risen more than 14 percent since late June to hit a 1-year high last week. Futures prices showed Australian shares were poised to edge higher on Wednesday while New Zealand stocks .NZ50 slipped after a recent rally. U.S. housing-related stocks jumped 2 percent .HGX after the Commerce Department reported new U.S. single-family home sales soared unexpectedly in July to near nine-year highs.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI rose 17.88 points, or 0.1 percent, to 18,547.3, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 4.26 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,186.9 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 15.48 points, or 0.3 percent, to 5,260.08. The upbeat housing data prompted markets to extend their search for further clues to whether the Federal Reserve will raise U.S. interest rates this year. Global central bankers gather in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, later this week with investors focused on a speech by Fed Chair Janet Yellen on Friday. The spike in new U.S. home sales pushed the dollar to 94.6 against a trade-weighted basket of currencies =USD after a drop of more than 2 percent so far this month.
The Australian dollar AUD=D3 looked set to add to recent gains as Australia's relatively higher interest rates attracted overseas investors. Oil prices tumbled on Wednesday, reversing early gains, after the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported U.S. crude on Tuesday that inventories rose by a surprising 4.5 million barrels last week. Brent crude LCOc1 fell 0.6 percent to $49.65 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 slipped 0.85 percent to $47.68 in early deals.

Types of Pardons in Connecticut
There are two basic types of pardons in Connecticut. You can learn a little more about them below.
An expungement pardon considers your entire criminal history and can "expunge" or erase offenses from your record. This occurs if and only if you receive a full pardon. An expungement pardon also goes by the term absolute pardon. If you receive this pardon, your entire criminal history will get erased, and you can honestly tell employers, friends, colleagues, and family members that you have never gotten arrested or convicted of a crime.
A provisional pardon cannot erase offenses from your record. A provisional pardon only makes it illegal for an employer to deny you employment based solely on your criminal record. If you are able to work and eligible for employment in all other ways, a provisional pardon can help you because it will give you a greater chance of getting hired.
In order to obtain a pardon, an applicant must submit a petition to the Board explaining the crime they were convicted of, the sentence imposed and the time served, as well as a brief explanation of why they should be pardoned. Once this is done, other forms are to be submitted. A pardons lawyer can assist you with this process if you have any questions. They can review the types of pardons with you. This can help you find the right pardon for you.
