WordPress no doubt is the lord of all CMS (Content Management System) software out there. It's due to its flexibility and easy-to-use interface that makes it undoubtedly best for so almost every type of website requirements.
When it comes on monetizing a WordPress site, users spend a lot of time in finding the answers of questions: which ad network they should join? where to place ads later on? and finally how to optimize ads to increase earnings? Ever thought of monetizing your whole WordPress site in just 60 seconds setup time without even actually adding any banner in your site? I bet your answer would be no!
Here I'm sharing with you the most anticipated method to monetize your WordPress site in less than a minute. The tactic has been made possible with the help of a service known as Clk.im.
About Clk.im
Clk.im is a premium URL shortener and Interstitial ad server. I don't think you're unaware with what Bit.ly does. Bit.ly shortens your links but you get no extra financial profit. But when it comes on Clk.im, you can make a great amount of money that you can't even imagine about.
Clk.im turns your natural links into shortened & monetized links so that whenever someone uses that link, you get some money in your pocket. Sounds simple, Ain't it? They currently have two types of offerings:
- Ad Network – Users shorten links and they monetize them with a full-page interstitial ad. Unlike other URL Shorteners, they do not pay users a flat fee for their traffic. Rather they pay out a very generous 70% revenue share. That's what makes them stand out of the crowd.
Some users have been able to achieve a gross of $20 eCPM for their US traffic, leaving them with a $14 cut for each 1000 clicks! While if you compare Clk.im with any other shortening service then either other URL shortening services don't pay anything or pay $1 or $2 or even less for 1000 clicks or even more.
- SAAS: Interstitial Ad Server (SSP) – Essentially if users choose to upgrade to a pro account at Clk.im at a nominal fee of $14.99/month, they can set their own monetization URLs. That means they can shorten URLs and monetize them with whatever they think will perform best for those links.
For example, they can collect lead, promote content/sponsored offerings or even their own affiliate links. That's so possible because in a pro account, they manage the deals directly with their advertisers, they do not take any cut on that. They keep 100% of their profits. Only fee is the monthly subscription to be able to set their own monetization links.
Clk.im URL Shortener includes features like setting custom alias, geotargeting of URL's, QR code, password protect links (content locking) and providing a description (note) for each link. They also provide detailed analytics for each link.
Now the main question arises:
How to effectively monetize your WordPress site in mere 60 seconds setup time?
Actually they provide users with several integrations that either automatically shortens the links or make it super simple to create them such as bookmarklet, API, automatic website shortening JavaScript and a smart WordPress plugin.
Their WordPress plugin is unique and automates all your monetization efforts. Within the plugin settings, you can define specifically which links it should shorten automatically. For example they can define types of links (with jQuery class), specific domains, only external/internal links, only links on specific types of page (page, post, category, tag) etc.
These types of features give you an amazing opportunity to use WordPress CMS as a platform to build large archives of downloadable content, streaming links, files images etc. to make more money from their links and clicks.
How to start using Clk.im right away?

NOTE: While they do not have any special requirements for a website or prior marketing knowledge, but they do not accept traffic that comes from adult or illegal content sites or allow users to shorten URLs that lead to such sites. They also do not allow users to shorten URLs that lead to other shortening service.

As the owner of two enthusiastic border collies, it's extra important that they get out on big adventures on a regular basis. Thus, I have created what I call the "dog ratio" — the number of activities I do with them before I can enjoy a day out without them.
Don't get me wrong, I wish I could take them everywhere but certain activities such as rock climbing, mountain biking and mountaineering are not always dog friendly.Thus I follow this ratio as a golden rule: for every 3 outings with the dogs, I can do 1 without them. The fine print says I can have MORE than three outings with them before my 1 activity, but not vice-versa. Therefore, if I take two days of big mountain biking, I then owe the dogs 6 days of fun.
Of course, this isn't hard to do. Mountain hikes and backpacking with the dogs are my favorite activities — I often end up with a non-dog adventure deficit. And I can sneak in small activities (2 hours or less) without it affecting "the ratio". Really, the ratio system is just a fun way to remind me of the responsibility I have as a dog owner. If I don't take the initiative, their worlds become very small.
Lately, I've tried to make a point to work some of these goal-based ratios into other aspects of my life. Most of us, of course, have a work-to-income ratio. Life is full of plenty of unfun / fun ratios which impose upon us a need for order and discipline. Better are goals that we create of our own desires that require discipline but offer a more enjoyable journey than laboring at a desk for eight hours a day. For example, I recently wanted an expensive, new guitar amplifier. I could have just bought it and been satisfied, but I decided to turn this into a ratio equation. I needed to practice at least 6 hours a week until I had accrued 200 hours; then I will have earned the amp.
And eventually I did.
Likewise, when I wanted a new pair of running shoes, I decreed that I had to do at least 3 weeks of 20 total miles of running, with one of those daily runs coming in the (ugh) early morning. These little "micro-quests" are great motivators for me because they come with an implied sense of responsibility. Plus, I've found that there really is merit to earning the things that are valuable to oneself in life, even if the shortcuts are readily apparent.
Which brings us back to the specific dog ratio. My dog ratio keeps me and my pups healthy and it keeps the bond between us legit. There are other ratios in my life, known only to me, that keep me connected people while also ensuring I "earn" valuable solo down time. It usually takes only a moment's introspection to do the calculations and come up with a plan.
So whenever I begin to experience unhappiness, stress or general malaise, I look at my ratios and see what's going on. Maybe I slipped on my "watching the sun rise" ratio, or perhaps I got lost in the "basket of fries vs. boring old salad" ratio. Ratios put a little science behind the vague notion of life balance and when I'm doing it right, each day is as exciting as the next ride in the truck is to my dogs — remember, they are keyed into the dog ratio too. And for them, the fun day out vs. trip to the vet truck ride ratio is thankfully, quite high.

The World Geo-Gathering –July 16-19,2009
Wyandotte,OK is the site for a new geocaching festival. "We will place over 100 event exclusive caches for this event. They will range anywhere from 1/1 to 5/5,"organizers say. There'll also be meet &greets,fun &games,a live auction and an event-exclusive cache race. Registration fees range from $20 to $50.
School taps into geocaching craze for education and history
The school recently received a $40,000 grant from the province's Innovative Learning Fund to develop a website using the Global Positioning System to highlight historically and culturally significant locations in the Hampton area. Students will research,write descriptions and create podcasts on some 30 chosen locations whose GPS co-ordinates will be posted on a website the students develop…By next May,the school hopes to add another 30,which will direct people with a portable GPS and a list of clues to possible places such as Frost Mountain,the Kings County Courthouse and the Hampton Marsh.
The Harding Family of Spring,Texas placed a clever 12-stage multi at the holidays,with each stage corresponding to a different verse of the 12 Days of Christmas. CosmicCowgirl tells how she did it and offers some interesting background on the origins of this famous holiday song.
Police continue search for person who left geocache
Rescue units were on the scene for more than four hours in Waynesboro,Pa. to "disarm"what turned out to be a geocache. These stories appear to be more and more common these days,probably due to the popularity of the game combined with the paranoia of law enforcement agencies.
A geocaching enthusiast continues his explanation and list of definitions. This is good stuff if you're brand new to the game.
'Caching in'on a unique family sport
This classic "intro to geocaching"story focuses in on the addiction of one family:Greg Bergman,Christy Noll,35,and 14-year-old Cody.
Pennsylvania:'Geocaching'device ties up authorities
In an all-too-familiar refrain,the Hagerstown (Md.) Herald Mail reports,"A suspicious object destroyed by a Pennsylvania State Police bomb squad Friday night near the former Landis Tool Co. turned out to be something from a hi-tech scavenger hunt,Waynesboro Police Chief Mark King said. ""The object was a spherical holiday edition soda bottle with a capped piece of plastic pipe inserted down the neck. There was a plastic tie around the bottle neck and a wire loop was used to hang it from the shrub. After it was destroyed,police found a "geocaching" logbook rolled up inside the pipe."A geocacher,God love him,responds in the comments:"We were one of the ones who tried to find this around 5 p.m. last night when the place was surrounded by police,fire,etc. We thought a house was on fire."
A Polish driver who was too sure of his GPS road navigation device ended up neck-deep in a lake after ignoring road signs warning of a dead-end ahead,Polish police said overnight. "The man took a road that was closed a year ago…he ignored three road signs warning of a dead-end,"police spokesman in Glubczyce,Piotr Smolen,said. "His GPS told him to drive straight ahead and he did."The driver had not been under the influence of a GPS,but apparently alcohol.

5 Healthy Eating Tips
Eating with friends and family is a common way to interact socially. However, the main purpose of eating should be to keep us alive and healthy. Despite the fact you may not be able to follow these 5 healthy eating tips all the time, you'll be much healthier if you at least follow them most of the time.
A healthy diet needs to consist of fruit, vegetables and fish and less saturated fat, salt and sugar. Unfortunately with our hectic pace of life it is much easier to hit the fast food joints than it is to keep a healthy eating schedule in place.
Price is also a factor. Cheap food just happens to be the same food that clogs your arteries and makes you fat. Try getting a nice fresh salad sandwich for the same price as a McDonald's cheeseburger and chips (oh and for an extra 10c you'll also get a coke!).
Here are some tips to get you on the road to healthy eating.
1. Eat a good breakfast
How many times have you heard it's the most important meal of the day? And that is because it is! Don't skip it! Have some cereal with low fat yoghurt at the very least.
2. Eat plenty of whole grains, fruits and veggies
Eating healthy is all about routine and finding things that are healthy but tasty as well. Fill up on this healthy food instead of scoffing cakes and donuts. Try eating raw veggies such as carrot and capsicum with a hommus dip. Yum! When having bread wholegrain is much healthier than white. You'll get used to the taste.
3. Eat regular meals
That way you won't get hungry and just eat the nearest most convenient thing.
4. Eat moderate portions
If you do want to keep eating unhealthy food occasionaly, keep the portions small. There is also evidence that suggests it is healthier to have regular small portions throughout the day rather than a large meal in the evening.
5. Change your cooking method
Try steaming and stir frying instead of deep frying. Totally eliminates the fat and/or oil while cooking.
To make things easier initially, reduce your intake of unhealthy foods instead of completely eliminating them. It is possible that unhealthy eating has made you addicted to sugar and to eliminate sugary food all together almost guarantees failure.
Start by replacing the two donuts for morning tea to one donut, eventually substituting the donut for an apple. Have a donut occasionally if you must, but save it for special occasions.
These simple 5 healthy eating tips should get you on the path to healthy eating. It's not that difficult, is it?

The most fashionable food scene is not in Portland, Brooklyn or Seattle anymore. For fresh creativity in gastronomy, the most ambitious Sous-Chefs de Cuisine are seeking inspiration in Brimfield, Massachusetts. The sustenance is actually amazing everywhere in Massachusetts. And especially in this town.
The local food scene in Brimfield, Massachusetts will make any real chef jealous. But for whatever reason, there are still haters of the German, Italian or Japanese cuisine out there. Global cosmopolitans may prefer to vacation in other places on the East and West Coasts. Their disdain for Real America is palpable.
This district doesn't care if Nadia Giosia hypes it up. In fact, they'd prefer if she stays away. There is more than enough melons, turnips and tomatoes to satisfy your family tonight. Whether you are bread or biscuits person, here are the best restaurants for you.
Patrons celebrate how these oddball sous chefs tend to add peculiar ingredients like brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, in their menus. Some of the hot spots below are proudly bourgeois while the rest cater to the proletariat.
We won't waste your time with anything but the most essential restaurants in Brimfield, Massachusetts. Ok now it is time to chow down on fresh asparagus and cranberries.

The Rivals
Pete Hempstead • Off-Broadway • May 5, 2014
Fans of theater, literature, and language should rush to The Pearl Theatre for the rare treat of a wonderfully funny and authentic production of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's classic comedy of manners The Rivals. Directed with a sure hand by Hal Brooks and filled with delightful performances, the production rivals any big-budget musical now competing for your attention.
Literary critics often call The Rivals, first performed in 1775, a comedy of manners, but its characters are rarely the "pineapple of politeness," as its famous character Mrs. Malaprop might say. Of course, the word manners here refers to stuffy social customs, and Sheridan, in this, his first play, proved he was a trenchant satirist of those customs and of the upper class that practiced them. Hal Brooks has tapped into Sheridan's humor to pull out not just the satire but the knee-slapping comedy of this nutty love story.
Drama queen Lydia Languish (Jessica Love) has several men vying for her affections, but she wants a man who's poor and willing to elope with her, just like the men in the romantic, sentimental novels she reads by the dozen. Ensign Beverley fits the bill nicely, only Beverley isn't really poor, or an ensign, or even a Beverley. He's really the well-heeled Captain Jack Absolute (Cary Donaldson) pretending to be a low-paid officer in order to win Lydia's affections. Meanwhile, the unpolished country squire Bob Acres (a brilliant Chris Mixon) thinks he'd make a fine match for Lydia. To complicate things further, Lucius O'Trigger (Sean McNall) has been receiving love letters from someone he believes to be Lydia but who is really the language-mangling Mrs. Malaprop (Carol Schultz). The aptly named O'Trigger is ready to cock a pistol in a duel to win Lydia's affections if need be.
Dan Daily gets thunderous laughs as Jack's father, the domineering Sir Anthony Absolute, who's fine with his son doing whatever he wants as long as he obeys his father completely. Rachel Botchan delights as Lydia's more level-headed cousin Julia, who falls in love with the inconsolable, ever-doubting Faulkland, played with histrionic verve by Brad Heberlee.
Jo Winiarski's set, with its receding perspective, replicates the kind of scenery audiences would have seen in Sheridan's day: Several wing-flats, or coulisses, project onto the stage at fixed intervals to create the illusion of a long salon that extends into the distance. The modest chandeliers and footlights complete the look of an 18th-century stage. Winiarski also craftily gives the wing-flats a cartoonish quality with two-dimensional depictions of columns, an effect that sits nicely with the play's satirical tone.
Brooks instills in his actors this sensibility as well, accentuated by Sam Flemming's brightly colored costumes and Gerard Kelly's stupendous wigs (with an abundance of curls for Lydia and Julia). Mrs. Malaprop, who wears a feathery mountain on her head, is the character for whom the play is best known. Schultz's hilarious portrayal of the vocabulary-challenged Malaprop keeps the audience in stitches. Almost every sentence she utters contains some misappropriated word, a fault of language that has ever since been dubbed a "malaprop." Shining examples include, "Men are all Bavarians (barbarians)" and "She is the very pineapple (pinnacle) of politeness." Schultz enunciates these slips clearly so that we don't miss the joke, but it's clear that Mrs. Malaprop means it all quite seriously.
For teachers and students of literature, The Pearl's exemplary production of The Rivals is a must-see. But all theater lovers will want to make sure this one doesn't slip past them. The Rivals is just as funny now as it must have been in Sheridan's day, because people are still just as ridiculously silly about love.

In the summer of 1970, a group of hippies from Minneapolis, Minnesota, moved onto a 10 acre patented mining claim just about where the last "e" in Slaughterhouse is on this topo map. They camped out in the " Big Meadow " and built the " Main Cabin "....... They didn't build it very fast, cause Al Jensen had a big block of hash he had smuggled back from India. And after the Morning Chilum, everyone would wonder off for awhile. But they had more than enough people, and after long glorious summer it was more or less "tight".
I happened to meet all these folks, because I had made my way to another commune that had started up that same summer. In fact that part of Colorado was blooming hippies that summer, there was another big summer commune just over those mountains to the northeast of Slaughterhouse Creek at a place called Sliver Creek. That one was a project of the Denver Free University, and they were all in teepees and domes for that summer. But by far the sweetest one was the one at The Mineral Hot Springs, Colorado, and that's where I ended up that summer, plus most of the next year too.
We had a bath house, a swimming pool, a motel & cafe, gas station, and a big ole' water tank on a two story tower. That was all on three hundred and sixty acres with some of the hottest mineral water you'll ever try to sit in. Most of the folks at our place were from California, a real bunch of granola crunchers.
But back to Slaughterhouse Creek ..... and the whole point of this post. My old friend Jose' just sent me his copy of the invitation to the 20th Reunion at Slaughterhouse Creek, and I reprint it in all it's glory.

text: Hi All, I posted similar but didn't get any replies, so perhaps phrased different might get a different response. In a nutshell, in my workplace, i have used a Nokia N73/N95/N97 with 3uk monthly contract. Both Data and phone connections have been great, with watching iplayer streams and surfing web posing no problems at all. Now i have the HTC Desire, using the same sim. I know there is a good strong 3uk connection here as i can watch both youtube and iplayer streams fine on my laptop using my dongle. However on the HTC Desire i pretty much only get a G connection, with the voice signal saying roaming (to Orange) i think. If i go into the "Wireless and Networks" settings, and change the mobile network mode to WCDMA only, i then get the H icon, but it doesn't get any arrows up and down under it when i try to connect. Whe the signal "drops" down to 3G the connection is perfectly fine for both surfing and downloading. HOWEVER, it keeps changing between H 3G and dropping out altogether. So then i have to re-enable GSM/WCDMA to auto, and i'm back to the roaming connections again. AND the big problem with this (data speed aside) is that when there IS a G data connection in use, all calls are rejected. Is this a hardware issue? or can a later firmware update sure this. Failing that, apart from buying a mifi dongle to share my laptop connection, is there anything i can do?

Sean Schniederjan, RKC, shot a quick video especially for you, a reader of the FVT newsletter – showing four of the hip opening exercises from his Ultimate Hip, Knee, and Ankle Guide for One Legged Squats.
These will cure tight hips and what we call "gluteal amnesia" … which will make you automatically stronger and move better. Try your hip hinge after doing these – you'll notice the difference right away!
They will also improve your hip flexor and tibia strength … which will improve your mobility in deep squatting and close stance squatting … which you will need to do a full pistol.
Check out this video, and follow along with the four drills:
If you liked the drills and want more (like how to increase your one legged squats and kettlebell front squats at the same time) go here.
And remember, the special FVT rate and offer ends tomorrow:

3d-Printing is cool
I've heard about 3d-printing a lot in the past, although the hype seems to have mostly died down. My view has always been "That seems cool", coupled with "Everybody says making the models is very hard", and "the process itself is fiddly & time-consuming".

My parents told me that I could have anything I wanted to have if I worked hard enough for it. They were firm believers that you worked for what you got, you never asked for a hand-out.

Tuesday was our 31st wedding anniversary. Chip took the day off and we had a great day just spending time with each other.
We started off the day eating breakfast at Chubby's. Golly moses, it's an "old guy" place, that's for sure. I think we were the youngest people in there besides the waitstaff by about twenty years.
We dropped by Half Price Books, and Chip picked up a few books. Knitting books were abundant, but nothing caught my eye, as I have plenty of reading material for myself.
Then it was on to a drive downtown--how I wish I had taken pictures. We were on a quest to find the building that Johnston Printing used to be located, but, alas, after driving up and down little streets and alleys for twenty minutes, we concluded, sadly indeed, that the building had been torn down.
We decided we might as well make it "Locate the Old Houses Chip's family Lived In Day", but it was more of the same--ALL the houses were GONE! Grandmom's house on Shenandoah had been replaced by a McMansion, Uncle Robert's house on Turtle Creek Blvd. is being replaced by a six million dollar monstrosity, the house that Fallon grew up in on Irving is just a vacant lot, and Aunt Mary Louisa's duplex is now condos.
Disappointed, and more than a little sad, we left the frenetic pace of Highland Park and drove to the comparatively slower pace of Richardson and settled in at the computer for a retirement planning session, which proved to be encouraging as well as a good brain workout. Chip can really work those Excel spreadsheets.
We fell into bed for a recovery nap, and when we woke up, it was time for dinner. We decided on "Boots and Brix" in the Richardson Hotel. The food was superb! We hadan appetizer of summer rolls, and the combination of shrimp, shredded vegetables, cilantro and mint with the dipping sauces was just fantastic! We each had a beef dish--Chip had prime rib and I had beef rondelles with mushrooms and onions, and mashed potatoes.
We came home and watched a movie and hit the hay early--what a great way to spend our anniversary!
Oh, and look at the beautiful two dozen red and yellow rose bouquet Chip sent me:
I finished knitting Lily's sweater, and haven't quite decided what I will do for fasteners. I would like all the fasteners for the jacket, booties and hat to match, but the little bows that I bought look cheesy, so right now I'm in the contemplation phase, and leaning toward knitting or crocheting ties for all of them.
I also started a pair of socks in my continuing determination to knit from my stash. I am using a couple old balls of navy flecked Woolease, with a little bit of brick red flecked Woolease to add a few stripes at the sock tops for interest. I'm using a Lion Brand pattern for the socks, but had to rewrite it a bit due to the gauge I got and to resize for Chip's feet. Here is a link to the pattern:

We made the comparison between adidas and Nike's basketball divisons when recently previewing the upcoming Crazy 8 retros, and here's another case where that effect is present, if not doubled. The adidas adiPure is crafted in the breathable SprintSkin synthetic that while somewhat similar to Nike Hyperfuse (not to mention the PureMotion podular sole taking its cues from KB8-era 'Feet You Wear'), actually predates the Swoosh's latest great material. But there's no denying the similarity between these first two colorways and the various Highlighter Packs, given the ASG pair's yellow look and this new model's neon green design. Click through to see more of the Intense Green adiPure and look for these at select Three Stripes retailers like Eastbay starting February 4th.

Over a hundred years ago a bridge was built to connect Saskatoon and Riversdale. The Traffic Bridge crossed over the South Saskatchewan River, becoming the first vehicular bridge in what is now the City of Saskatoon. In 2010, due to safety concerns, the City closed the bridge indefinitely. The existing structure, a five-span, Parker-style, through truss bridge, is an icon of the community, and it would've been a shame to leave it in limbo.
As Saskatoon's owner's engineer, we were involved in the inspections, assessments, and planning studies—helping gather all the facts before the City made its final decision. A new replica was the result. Something that paid respect to the past—built for today. Wider. And more accommodating of modern transportation.
Working with the steering committee and stakeholders, we positioned the bridge as a complementary addition to River Landing (a riverside development with community attractions like the farmer's market, a children's water park, and an arts center) and the revitalization of the downtown core. The revamped Traffic Bridge will open in 2018. Though it won't be the same structure, it'll capture the history of its predecessor as the traffic once again hits the bridge.

text: Fully bricked my newly bought wii when trying to upgrade to 4.1 after softmoding. Maybe I should have never done this! Anyways I was following the sticky article and successfully installed hbc, hackmii, patched ios36 (using TBR) and installed cIOS38r14. Everything looked fine until trying to upgrade to 4.0/4.1 following this guide: http://webrewwii.blogspot.com/2009/04/syst...stallation.html Actually even 3.x->4.0 went through. However after I did 4.0->4.1 and it said ready to restart (after all the successful installs), it gave me a blank screen. Remote cannot sync (blinks) and I can do nothing but power it off by holding the power key. I cannot get any system menu. The questions are: 1. I've made NAND backup before doing this. but I guess I cannot use it as I don't get any menu at all? 2. Is it true that after updrading I lost the preloader? I tried power on while pressing reset but nothing happened. 3. savemiifrii video on youtube looks encouraging and I will try that after get the controller. But even after it succeed, what else should I do after entering the recover mode? 4. Will savemii work? What's the best solution here? Thanks for your advnice in advance!

UGA students participate in the MLK March from the Tate Center of Student Activities to the Chapel on North Campus. Staff
Maurice Daniels references Ralph Ellison's crowning novel, ''Invisible Man,'' when describing the University of Georgia's climate for some African- American students, faculty and staff members.
''I would suggest that to some extent, progress clearly has been made at the University of Georgia. I think that's undeniable, certainly irrefutable,'' said Daniels, director of UGA's Master's of Social Work degree program. ''But I often hear students and faculty suggest that they feel they are invisible here because the environment does not offer the kind of environment that supports their background, their culture, their experience.''
As Daniels pauses to commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a freedom fighter for social justice and equality, he urges community members to engage in active service, and to remember King's dedication to economic and social justice.
Campus has certainly changed since Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter fought to gain admission to UGA in 1961, said Daniels. But the university still struggles to diversify its student body, and, although it has tailored a race-blind admissions process, it is watching the outcome of the U.S. Supreme Court case in which the University of Michigan is battling to uphold affirmative action in admissions.
''I absolutely, unequivocally and positively think the University of Michigan's admissions process should be upheld,'' said Daniels. ''...I would say the lack of diversity, the lack of equity, and the lack of justice, in our society, does not square with morality and righteousness.''
Matt Winston, special assistant to UGA President Michael Adams, said affirmative action is often misconstrued by folks attempting to use it ''to say, you're not qualified if you're here, because you're here due to a quota system.''
Ecumenical services in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.Staff
Disputing President Bush's assertion that affirmative action is a quota system, Winston said it is instead a system that levels the playing field between groups of people who have had radically different histories.
''For 180 years, people who look like me weren't allowed to be here (at UGA), by law,'' said Winston. ''You've got to realize that not everyone has had a fair shot.''
State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond, a native of Athens and the chairman of the Martin Luther King Jr. State Holiday Commission, was 8 years old when UGA desegregated. Thurmond's parents would not let him go outside during the day, because ''there was just so much fear because nobody knew what was happening.''
Thurmond wrote a book, ''A Story Untold,'' based on the experience of African-American men and women in Athens history -- an emotional experience for Thurmond, which was capped by his discovery that two former slaves were elected to the state legislature in 1868.
''I sat crying when I was reading about it,'' he said. ''It was so shocking I started crying. And on the
way home, I told my sister I would be the next black man to be elected to the state legislature from Athens (which he accomplished 11 years later, in 1986).''
Thurmond said that what distinguishes Athens from other towns in Georgia is that ''it's a more tolerant community,'' more readily accepting of people of different backgrounds.
UGA students sing a tribute to MLK.Staff
And Thurmond, as he organizes events in honor of King, admits there is still much to accomplish -- including the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body and faculty at UGA.
''If the administration acts affirmatively to reach out and recruit and develop an environment that's affirmative and inviting, quite frankly, courts and others wouldn't have to implement affirmative action,'' said Thurmond.
Winston said he hopes UGA can continue to broaden its definition of diversity to include Hispanics, class, and gender -- and to include all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the community in its commitment to diversity.
And Daniels has specific suggestions for UGA as well. He said the Office of Institutional Diversity ''has to be given a higher status,'' with a greater role in recruitment and retention, and with greater financial resources. And he also wants to see a greater effort to diversify senior level appointments at the university, as well as an examination of whether standardized testing ''has an adverse impact upon admission of a diverse student body.''

I saw this video online and had to share. I have no idea if it was for Sallah but this is to barbaric to do to such an animal.
So a group of people wanted to kill a cow who was on rage mode to prevent its death. For them to do it, they pounced on it by displaying a lot of 'karate skills' and throwing heavy objects for the beast to go down.
Watch below and see:

My relationship with money at the moment is similar to Justin Bieber's relationship with the black community- fragile. I've finally finished my degree to the relief of friends, family and probably God (who was clearly sick of me periodically whining every June about how my life was over because I only had 2 hours to learn everything about gallbladders because I had spent the rest of the year eating cake and watching youtube videos) At the end of 6 years of treating my student loan like rappers treat dollar bills, I am not broke. Financially, it has gone past that point – I am broken.
So, I decided to see if I could sign on, you know, get David Cameron to break me off me a little suttin' suttin' until I find a summer job. And so began my adventures at the job centre with Aunty Kemi.
Some people think that claiming benefits is easy – in fact I tend to sometimes be a bit scornful of people who seem to be perpetually receiving job seeker's allowance, as if the pay checks of the general population are their personal piggy bank. After my experience at the job centre, I can't think why anyone wouldn't want to get a job as quickly as possible.
I arrived at the job centre on time for once. Actually, I was 5 minutes late, but in my world, that's kinda on time. Nothing significant can really happen in 5 minutes except an earthquake or a mass shooting, otherwise, you ain't missed much. Breathing heavily – (ok fine, I was late) I explained to the gentleman at the 'welcome' desk that I was there for a new claim. "Name?" he asked. "Shade". I said. He scanned the list. "There's no S here..". "Sorry, my full name is Folashade" I replied. He beamed with excitement and then loudly switched into a Nigerian accent.." You mean FO-LA-SHA-DE!!!". I smiled weakly. "Err..yeah that's the one".
I was sent upstairs and passed approximately 5 security guards on the way up. (I'm not sure why the job centre needs so much security, you'd think they kept the money in a vault downstairs or something..). I plopped myself down in the sofa and waited. Three people who were supposedly employed by the job centre sat across from me at their desks, swivelling in their chairs and having a little gossip. "So I said to Tracy, it's not on ya know….". "Mmmmm.. I know what you mean", replied a blond middle aged lady, "Not on..". This conversation continued for several minutes until I was approached by a 40ish year old back guy with a cockney accent ( I mention this because that always throws me off). We'll call him Leroy. Leroy sauntered over to me, clearly unimpressed with the day, and with his colleagues – "Can I get some help over here?" he called to them. "Coming!!' they replied, and then continued to gossip about poor Tracy.
After 5 minutes of filling out more forms, I was ushered over to another sofa to wait for my employment advisor to see me. As I sat opposite from her, I became a bit confused. She was sat at her computer, adorned with an elaborate headwrap and bored expression, peering over her snazzy Vision Express glasses at me. She wasn't typing or writing, she was just staring at me. Was she waiting for me to make the first move? Finally, after glancing at her nails a few times, she called me over. I soon found out that Aunty Kemi (names have been changed for privacy) was not there to be my friend. She was there to do her job, and rightfully so. She started by asking me a few questions about my current situation and then gave me a booklet to read. I read the booklet quickly and then signed at the bottom. She peered at me over her glasses. " Have you read it?". "Yes" I smiled. "No you haven't", she replied. "I'm going to ask you questions about it so make sure you read it. ALL of it". I gulped. "Ok." She said. " I will sign you up for the two week graduate and professional course..". I explained that I only wanted a summer job because I have a graduate job after summer. She curled her lip.."It's only for two weeks though". I explained again that I didn't need a course on how to find a graduate job, I just wanted some work. She glanced at me and then picked up the phone. "Hello. Hellllooo. Yes, it's Kemi here from ****** job centre, I have a client I want to sign up to the graduate and professional course…yes..can you do 16th of June?" she asked me. Shocked, I nodded.
We the moved on to the next set of forms. "Do you have CV?" She asked. I nodded. "When do you usually search for jobs, morning or evening?" I shrugged – "Mmm morning I suppose". "What time?" she snapped. "Sorry?" I replied."What time?? 10? 11? I need specifics". "Errrrr…11?". She then copied up the rest of the information I had put on the form and turned the screen to show me what she had typed.
I had to control my laughter.
Where the form had asked for my skills, I had put: " I have good communication and team work skills, and am committed to hard work". That's all.
Aunty Kemi had put: "I have good customer service skills. I have good communication skills. I am very efficient. Team player, Ambitious, Punctual , Reliable and willingness to learn. Strong I.T. skills"
Where the form had asked for my circumstances I had put: "I have just graduated from uni and am currently living at home".
Aunty Kemi had put: " I am single and live with parent.(singular). I have accesses to internet thereby I could carry out my Job searches everyday in the morning around 11 am for 1 hours. I am a confident self motivated person. Good transport links. I have good knowledge of local employers. I am willing to consider any suitable vacancies offered to me.".
I couldn't object to that, and so we finished off by me writing down what I would do in the next few days. I wrote 'I will upload my CV onto Universal Job match'. Clearly, this wasn't good enough. "When will you do this?" she asked, as her glasses slid down her nose. "This evening when I get home". "But what time? I need specifics!!!" "Errmm….8?" I replied. Satisfied, she wiggled into her chair and gazed at me . "Ok. Next appointment is Wednesday at two. DON'T be late. And if anything changes about your circumstance, anything, even if you pick up someone from school and they give you cash, you MUST let me know". I nodded and swivelled away…
Claiming JSA isn't the best experience in the world – it's not torture by any means, but I can imagine it becoming very tedious. Fortunately, this is almost somewhat of a social experiment for me, but there are people who have been doing this every week for the past year or more. It must be demoralising. I for one, won't be so quick to judge…
Anyone else had a funny experience at the job centre?

The Sacred Valley is known for its steep and soaring scenery, its mystical significance for the Inca and the indigenous cultures that still reside here
This trip visits places that are at high altitude, and as a result some people can suffer from altitude sickness, regardless of age or physical health. Please see the 'Health' section of the trip notes for more important information on this.

Review submitted 15 Nov 2017
Great, life changing trip hiking the inca trail. Completing the trail was a major lifelong goal of mine and it didn't disappoint. The guides (Bruno and Adrian) and porters were amazing. In retrospect, I would have done the amazon first as after the high of the inca trail, everything after, while still great, kind of pales in comparison. I would highly recommend it.

European Union's Tax Rules Backfire
October 9, 2003
A number of large multinationals -- mostly American -- have moved their European headquarters and finance operations out of traditional European Union locales to Switzerland and Ireland, aiming to avoid costs associated with so-called tax harmonization. That's the EU's term for its effort to end competitive tax breaks among member states, a practice Brussels regards as harmful.
The corporate moves, by such big names as John Deere, Ralph Lauren and General Mills, are fueling concern among business boosters and revenue officials in some EU countries, particularly the Netherlands and Belgium, which are losing their luster as tax havens.
- High-tax France and Germany are suffering the most defections, but the phenomenon may also be spreading to the so-called Benelux region, whose business-friendly tax regimes have long made it the European base of choice for American multinationals.
- In the World Economic Forum's most recent annual report on global competitiveness, ratings for the Netherlands and Belgium plunged while they surged for Switzerland, a non-EU member.
- Once a European leader in attracting direct foreign investment, the Netherlands saw such inflows slump 43 percent last year to $29 billion (€24.57 billion), one of the biggest drops among 30 industrial countries, tracked by Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The shift is partly attributable to the EU's tax-harmonization drive, lawyers and development officials say. The European Commission, the EU's executive branch, has tried to do away with "harmful tax competition" between member countries by clamping down on uncompetitive practices -- such as state aid and various shelters -- that have long figured in tax planning by multinationals.

Welcome to the next instalment of GAMMA.CON's Canberra Cosplay Spotlight, a weekly look into the lives and experiences of members of the Canberran Cosplay Community!
This week we speak to Andrew "Box Cosplay", well known for his impressive array of giant robot armour.
You can see more of Andrew at his cosplay page Box Cosplay
GAMMA.CON: Hello Box Cosplay and welcome to Cosplay Spotlight!
Box Cosplay: Thanks! Very happy to be here.
G: When did you start cosplaying?
B: Over ten years ago, I believe it was Supanova Brisbane 2004.
G: That's a really long time, what inspired you to start?
B: I went to the very first Supanova in Brisbane in 2003 and saw everyone in cosplay and thought I HAVE TO DO THIS!
G: What is the meaning behind your cosplay name?
B: Box Cosplay? Well most of my cosplays are made out of cardboard boxes, so I thought it was perfect.
G: Speaking of which, you've done some awfully impressive cosplays over the years, such as Guren Laggen and the Eva Units, you made them entirely out of cardboard boxes?
B: And EVA foam. Eva Unit 01 and Unit 02 were a mix of foam and cardboard, Gurren Lagann was all foam except for the glasses. In the past I did Seele 01 and Ramiel the Fifth Angel both entirely out of cardboard.
G: Take us through the process of making a new suit of armour out of cardboard?
B: Step 1: Spend heaps of time on the Internet searching for a decent Pepakura file (Pepakura is paper craft, you can use it to make figurines out of paper) and print.
Step 2: Enlarge the templates and trace them onto foam.
Step 3: Cut the shapes out, paying attention in the angle you cut into the foam so you have a good connection for the glue.
Step 4: Use Gel based contact glue for foam, 100 times better than hot glue.
Step 5: Tweak it so it suits your body.
Step 6: Cry a bit because step five was so hard. :'(
Step 7: Seal the foam with a watered down PVA glue brushed all over it and paint it with a sponge.
Step 8: Do a test run before the con to find out if certain areas hurt after a while and fix them.
G: Where did you learn, what tips for newbies wanting to make suits like yours?
B: I just Googled cosplay instructions and watched Youtube videos. Then after a while I just thought of new techniques for myself.
Protip: If you're in armour make sure your shoes are made well of you'll get bloody toes like I did one time.
G: What is your favourite part of the process?
B: When I'm gluing all the parts I cut out together and start seeing the shape form.
G: What are you planning on Cosplaying next?
B: I'm building two at the moment, classic Megatron from Transformers and Awakened Eva Unit 01 from Evangelion 2.22
G: What has been the most difficult thing and what has been the most fun thing to bring to life?
B: The most difficult was Eva Unit 01, it was the first time I tried to make armour. I built the helmet out of fibreglass while wearing only shorts and a shirt and I learned the hard way that you need a HAZMAT suit whenever you work with fibreglass. Lemongrab from Adventure Time was the most fun; it was simple and hilarious to go around in. By the way I'm colour blind so every time I need paint I have to drag a friend to the hardware shop with me to help pick colours.
G: Ever had a cosplay malfunction?
B: Hahahaha, I don't think I've ever had a con where something didn't go wrong. The challenge is how prepared you are to fix it. I always bring a small repair kit in my car in case something happens.
A good example would be when the shoulder of Gurren Lagann got knocked off right before a competition, thankfully someone nearby had a hot glue gun.
G: What was your first costume?
B: Sousuke Sagara from Fullmetal Panic.
G: What was Sagara like compared to your later costumes?
B: Sousuke Sagara was made from clothes I bought from an op shop and toy guns I bought from Toy World. My latest was an AT-ST from Star Wars which I made from scratch out of cardboard and some PVC piping. I had a Pepakura model for a schematic and cut and shaped each part that went into it.
Stalking Moose Cosplay (stay tuned cosplay fans!) then taught me how to weather the paint and make it look awesome.
G: What is your favourite part of being a Cosplayer?
B: Becoming the character behind the mask and meeting the fans. It's a chance to act like someone else for a day and just have fun?
G: Does it ever bother you that since a lot of your cosplays are full suits, you get such a great reaction and so many photos but to the majority of people you meet your identity is a mystery?
B: Not really, from my experience it seems people who have seen me before figure out it's me pretty quickly no matter what I'm wearing. But whenever I meet new people at cons I tend to unmask and take the time to chat to them a little, so that might be the reason they recognise me.
G: Ever hang out with someone at a con in costume for the day and see them again later out of costume and they have no idea who you are?
B: Hahahaha, that has happened before. It was when I did Seele 01 about four or five years ago. I went back to the group after I took the costume off and continued our conversation while they had a totally confused faces. One figured it out after 30ish seconds and shouted "You're the box guy!"
G: What makes you choose a certain character to cosplay?
B: It has to be from a show I like, not commonly done and has either a wow factor or something that will make you laugh.
G: What costume do you feel the most connected to?
B: My beautiful Eva Unit 01, it almost killed me and I still love it. I even have the helmet mounted on top of my piano.
G: Do you feel a special connection to the characters you've cosplayed?
B: I have a connection to all of them; it's a labour of love for me so they are all special. A moment that stands out was the time I played Gendo Ikari from Evangelion and stayed in character for the day, playing the bad guy. That was so much fun that it made me decide to make villains more often.
G: What have you done with the previous armour suits you made, are they all standing up on display somewhere like the Bat Cave?
B: Eva Unit 02 is mounted at my entrance; I plan on putting a motion sensor on it so the eyes light up whenever somebody walks in the door. I plan to do the same with Gurren Lagann, but some of the other costumes I only have their heads on top of the piano.
G: Has anyone ever asked to buy one of your suits and would you sell one?
B: I've had people ask for commissions but not my actual suits. I'm not sure if I'd sell one of my main cosplays but I'd consider it for my silly cosplays like my NukaCola bottle.
G: What events are you looking forward to attending this year?
B: I want to try and get to as many local cons as I can but I might miss all the events after June because I might be heading overseas for a while.
G: Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us Andrew!
B: Thanks, this has definitely made me think about my Cosplays in more detail!

Blessing in Disguise
Y'all will just have to bear with me because this post is somewhat all over the place. Right after Christmas, and just after I had uploaded all of my Christmas pictures and videos to my computer it crashed. It wasn't just a fender bender. It was an "eject all passengers" type of crash.
I had been having problems for a few months prior and had gotten pretty good about backing everything up – everything except December's work. That included notes, 4-H record books, vlogs, blog drafts, and ALL of my Christmas/December pictures. I spent HOURS working on those 4-H record books. I was most upset about losing those. (Thankful that I had already blogged the children's Christmas pictures). I had the record books about 90% ready. The only thing lacking was a short story about the kid's time in 4-H and their pictures.
Luckily, I had another version backed up online. It wasn't as detailed or formatted as pretty, but this is the first year we will be turning them in, and that small blessing in disguise of having one partly prepared and backed up saved me some sanity. At least I didn't have to start all over!
Blessing in Disguise #2
Then, one of my friends purchased a new computer and was kind enough to give me his old one; another blessing in disguise. It is a Mac, and I have never used a Mac before. I literally had to Google "How to click" and since then I have googled about 1,000,000 other "How to ____ on a Mac" questions. Thank God for Google!
I have been wanting a Mac because of iMovie. Windows Movie Maker just doesn't have the same capabilities as iMovie does. I wasn't able to purchase one for myself though, and I am super thankful for my friend for the new-to-me computer.
Blessing #3
While my computer was down I had the chance to work on some other things, like my Curriculum Planner. I have been using a three ring binder with plastic sleeve protectors, but it was quite annoying having to remove each paper every time I needed it, and then replace it. My weekly schedule of tasks was inside a composition book. It just wasn't a very productive option. I watched countless youtube videos and came up with my own Curriculum Planner. You can see the video by clicking here: My 2015 Homeschool Planner for 3 children. I will be posting a blog about it a little later this week with links to all of the sheets that I used. I haven't got to put it to use yet (we start back on the 6th), but having the time to sit down and do this AND fill it out, without computer distractions was a blessing in disguise.
Blessing #4
And finally, starting a new computer system in the New Year, has allowed me to try out a few new things that I have been slacking on trying: like Evernote! I am a really big fan of being able to sync my notes and have them available across all platforms. This means if I lose another HDD, I won't lose all of the countless notes I have! I also won't have to email things to myself or put them on a flash drive from one computer and move them to another.
"From short lists to lengthy research, no matter what form your writing takes, Evernote keeps you focused on moving those ideas from inspiration to completion."
I was intrigued that they marketed this as helping you keep focus on moving an idea to completion. There are so many times I have ideas for things, write them down, but then don't complete them.
I would say losing my computer has definitely been a blessing in disguise all around.
Here is to a New Year bringing many new blessings!
