· The work of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) is essential to building a region united by well-being, inclusive development and prosperity," he declared.
· He acknowledged the positive work of ECLAC Executive Secretary Alicia Bárcena Ibarra in narrowing the equality gaps within and between our countries.
· He inaugurated ECLAC's 36th session.
As he inaugurated the 36th Session of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), President Enrique Peña Nieto today affirmed Mexico's commitment, "To the integration and sustainable development of our region, to make the Americas a hemisphere of inclusion and prosperity."
"As we face the future, rest assured that Mexico will continue to work for the sustainable development of our region. At all the forums and mechanisms for dialogue, we will continue to be a unifying force for the integration of Latin America and the Caribbean," he said.
He stressed that the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in whose definition Mexico actively participated, enriching it with issues focusing on inclusion, "Also demands a strong, renewed regional alliance."
At the event, held in the Adolfo López Mateos Hall of the official residence of Los Pinos, the president said that ECLAC's work, "Is indispensable for building a region united by welfare, inclusive development and prosperity."
After thanking ECLAC Executive Secretary, Alicia Bárcena Ibarra, "for her skilful coordination of the Commission's efforts to narrow the equality gap within and between our countries," President Peña Nieto declared that, "Society's participation, consistency between public policies, a human rights approach, a commitment to certainty to create value and a vision of sustainable development are essential elements to achieving the development with equality promoted by ECLAC."
The president welcomed the fact that ECLAC's 36th Session is being held in Mexico, "Because we are once again welcoming home Alicia Bárcena, a distinguished Mexican who has demonstrated her talent, professionalism and leadership as ECLAC's director. Moreover, since Mexico is one of the founding nations of this international organization, we continue to believe strongly in its mission to promote the development of Latin America and the Caribbean."
Moreover, he added, "There is a strong coincidence between the agenda promoted by ECLAC and the government to make equality the center of sustainable development."
The president said that now that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been defined, "It is up to each nation to implement public policies to achieve its goals and targets."
He recalled that a Specialized Technical Committee, coordinated by the President's Office, was recently set up to oversee the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their respective targets.
The president outlined some of the lessons learned in the past three and a half years, "in the profound process of structural change we have been implementing in Mexico" and declared that Mexico's experience could help each of the nations in the region to advance its achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals:
FIRST. "The design and implementation of public policies is enriched by society's participation. For example, the actions we are promoting to raise the quality of education, in other words, having better trained teachers, decent facilities, suitable education programs and increasing self-management in schools, are enhanced when every school community is involved to ensure their success."
SECOND. "There must be consistency and complementarity between the various reforms and public policies. For example, Financial Reform complements and strengthens the Social Inclusion Program Prospera by promoting low-income families' access to financial services. Another case is the synergy between Telecommunications Reform and Education Reform, since greater access to Information and Communication Technology helps improve teaching and learning processes."
THIRD. "The public agenda must have a human rights approach. One of the pillars of this administration is to promote a genuine Society of Rights, in other words, to ensure that all the rights enshrined in our laws apply equally to all people."
The president recalled that last week he submitted a bill to Congress to make individuals' right to same-sex marriage a Constitutional right, regardless of their gender identity or sexual preference, . "I am convinced that in a society of rights, governments, laws and institutions must evolve at the same rate as their citizens," he declared.
President Peña Nieto mentioned other examples of how equality and inclusion have been promoted.
· The recognition of the right to access to Information and Communication Technologies, including broadband and the Internet.
· The obligation of political parties to ensure that 50% of the candidacies for federal and local congresses are for women.
· The creation of Life Insurance for Female Heads of Household and the expansion of the Pension Program for Senior Citizens.
· And we will soon create Special Economic Zones to narrow the development gaps between the North and center of the country and the southern region, which lags furthest behind.
FOURTH. "The importance of promoting an environment of certainty and transparency that will foster value generation. In other words, to promote investments that create jobs, productivity and competitiveness. A necessary condition for achieving this environment is to have stability and institutions that support this. Recent years have seen the strengthening of autonomous regulatory bodies such as the Federal Anti-trust Commission and the Federal Telecommunications Institute. As a result of Energy Reform, tenders for oil fields and clean energy auctions in the Wholesale Electricity Market have shown the importance of transparent, reliable mechanisms to attract productive investment."
FIFTH. "Governments must take decisive action to preserve our natural resources and protect the environment."
The president declared that nowadays the public policies of any country should take into account their environmental impact. Therefore, he said, Mexico:
· Signed the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
· It promoted the Energy Transition Act to reduce greenhouse gas and black carbon emissions by increasing its energy production from clean sources.
· It increased its Natural Protected Areas, land and marine areas for the preservation of our biodiversity.
"Creating equality in order to grow, and growing to create equality is ECLAC's mission; this is the hope shared by our societies and the reason we will continue working and advancing together," he declared.
Let us be quite clear, EQUALITY IS THE HORIZON, PROGRESSIVE STRUCTURAL CHANGE THE WAY AND POLICY, IN CAPITAL LETTERS, THE INSTRUMENT: ALICIA BÁRCENA
ECLAC General Secretary Alicia Bárcena Ibarra said that the profound economic, social and environmental imbalances in the world have motivated the search for responses from the international community. These efforts culminated in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by Mexico which, together with the Latin American and Caribbean region, played a central role in the negotiation process and continues to do so now in its follow-up.
Alicia Bárcena announced that ECLAC produced the Horizons 2030: Equality at the Center of Sustainable Development document, which proposes, "A progressive structural change as a guiding concept. Our region must promote a process of gradual but steady transformation into activities and processes aimed at promoting more intensive learning and innovation sectors, "as well coordinated economic policies between developed and developing countries.
"We need Mexico, as a G20 player together with the other countries, to propose this worldwide," she said. She declared that it is not a technical proposal, "It a political proposal that requires a clear direction. It is necessary to change the conversation with the private and the social sectors."
Alicia Bárcena said that in the complex situation faced by the region, "Aligning our development trajectory with aspirations such as those contained in the 2030 Agenda involves the integrated implementation of economic, industrial, social and environmental policies." "Let us be quite clear," she said, "Equality is the horizon, progressive structural change the way and policy the instrument."
THE REGIONAL DIMENSION IS CRUCIAL TO DEALING WITH COMMON CHALLENGES, exchangING experiences and CONNECTING THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL SPHERES TO THE WORLD SPHERE: Ban Ki-moon
In a videotaped message, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon thanked Mexico for its efforts to host this ECLAC session, and those present at the event for their leadership and support for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
"Latin America and the Caribbean have it helped put equality at the center of the 2030 Agenda. Now we must move from vision to reality through collaboration with governments, the private sector and civil society," he declared.
He explained: "The regional dimension is crucial to addressing shared challenges, exchanging experiences and connecting the local and national sphere to the world sphere."
He said that, "As a mainly middle-income region, Latin America and the Caribbean must address particular financing challenges for development, and work to collectively meet the specific needs of the Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean."
Noting that, in order to achieve the lofty goals set out in the Sustainable Development Objectives, "A major change is required in the way we act," he urged those present to, "Narrow structural gaps, leverage the progress that has already been achieved and continue to be among the leading advocates of sustainable development on the international scene."
Peruvian Minister of Development and Social Inclusion Paula Bustamante Suárez said that in the new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, both Peru and Mexico played a substantive role within the negotiating group, which recognized that the eradication of poverty in all its manifestations, particularly extreme poverty, is the greatest challenge facing nations, and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.
She declared that countries have pledged to achieve this goal in its three dimensions: economic, social and environmental, in a balanced, integrated manner.
Minister Bustamante said that Peru offers its broadest political support for the 2030 Agenda, "Not only because it actively participated in the process of its definition, but also because it is a political and above all ethical commitment in the quest for the welfare of our people, especially the most vulnerable ones, in the awareness that poverty has a multidimensional nature and is not limited to the population's level of income."
Peru concluded its Biennial Presidency (2014-2016) at ECLAC's 36th Session.
"Two years after the meeting in Lima, today, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a reality, and will guide our work for the next 15 years," declared Paula Bustamante Suárez.

Reaching Global Customers for Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday is almost here, and small businesses across the U.S. should keep one important fact in mind: the online holiday shopping phenomenon, marketed and launched around our Thanksgiving celebrations, is now a global affair. Throughout the year, businesses of all sizes, including corner retail shops, home-based enterprises and larger internet-only merchants, are reaching – and shipping to – customers as far away as India and China. Starting on Black Friday, and even before, you can expect this kind of international activity to ramp up, just as your domestic sales surely will.

I guess I owe everyone a huge apology for MIA-ing for such a long time. SORRY!
I've been getting emails from really lovely ladies who ask when I'm returning to jewellery making.
Thank you for all the concern. I appreciate it all. I really do. 🙂
I don't want to blame anything for my lack of posts here. Its really my fault for not planning my time well enough to juggle school and work. It really pains me to see all my pretty charms and lots of beads(yes! I still buy beads and stuff even though I've slowed down in my productions!) but yet, I have more urgent issues to attend to, thus having to neglect them(the beads and stuff lah).
Gimme a little time to sort out everything okay?
I'll be back with a blast! Promise!
Check back often(or just sign up for my mailing list!) to get updates.
To those who wanna purchase anything, you're still welcome to leave me a comment and I'll get back to you about it.
Once again. Thank you for all your wonderful support! Take care and God bless! See ya soon!~

Following our coverage of the House of Billiam x Chimp Varsity Jackets in the later half of 2010, we had the opportunity to connect with HoB's founder and Creative Director, Thomas Bird. Thomas talks to us about the company's relationship with streetwear, their love of premium materials and what may be next for a brand that has continued to make a number of positive steps throughout it's infancy.
"We wanted to be as far away from throw-away high street fashion as possible."
Interview by Darian Hocking & Johnny Ridley
House of Billiam
House of Billiam x Chimp Varsity Jackets
First, I'd like to ask how you came together to start House of Billiam?
At the time, the hoodie had a pretty bad reputation in the British press. Our thoughts were to use this and juxtapose its reputation as 'all that is wrong with society' with fabrics that are generally associated with the polar opposite of the typical hoodie wearer. Essentially it was an attempt to gentrify the hoodie through cut, fabric and method of sale.
After you began with the simple hooded sweatshirt, you allowed your clients to customise their garment. What made you decide to start with that item of clothing?
The item itself was initially made as a one-off piece, each customer selecting fabrics and being measured for a piece specifically for them. This approach was really adopted from the traditions of working with British suiting fabric. Our outlook was to revisit how people bought clothes using staples in modern streetwear and applying it to the tradition of Bespoke suit buying. Our ethos was very much about creating great staple pieces that you can throw different fabrics at and it still works, we want to create a distinct silhouette that the customer is able to place their personality and personal tastes upon. We wanted to be as far removed from throw-away high street fashion as possible.
We feel you're making some truly outstanding wares, in terms of both quality and design. The materials you use and attention to detail isn't usually associated with streetwear, why is this important to you?
Fabric is at the centre of what we do. Our approach to clothing has always been lead by fabric quality and cut. We have always aimed to create clothing that allows the quality of our fabric choice and our cut speak rather then our 'branding'. We want our clothes to be recognisable for how they look and desirable because of this rather then because our name or logo is emblazoned across the garment.
Our garments are stripped back to provide the best platform for every fabric we use to express their quality. Our attention to detail comes from wanting every bit of what we do to have a purpose, we want to create practical clothing that is as wearable day to day as possible. We also want to have an element of British heritage in our clothing. We are known, as a nation, for creating the finest quality clothing that is understated in terms of brand and we want to continue these ideals in everything we do.
Does the very nature of your service, allowing the client to choose the specifics of their garment, lower your own creativity in any way?
The idea of what we do and the creative thought that went into developing what we do and our identity as a label is creatively led. We work hard on getting the pieces right and the creativity for us comes from being meticulous in how we develop everything we do. We work hard on developing items that are able to allow the client to respond with their own personality. Creating clothing that allows someone to throw all sorts of fabric at is a massive creative challenge.
Our clothing is a collaboration, we enjoy nothing more than the customer feeling that they have ownership of the clothes we make for them. Because of what we do, our clients are strong personalities in themselves, they have a strong idea of who they are and are able to express this by working with us and we enjoy the idea of working with people like this. It drives what we do.
You seem to produce on an item-by-item basis as opposed to releasing a set collection per season. What advantages and disadvantages does this have? Furthermore, could you see the label evolving into a stage where you can produce multiple garments for seasonal release?
One of the reasons our company started in this way is because we did not start the company with a lot of money and working with individual clients allowed the business to develop without the need for outside financing. The advantage to working in this way is that we have a relationship with our customer, if you arrange an appointment to get measured and pick fabrics for a garment you speak to me, you see where the garment is made and you deal directly with the people who buy your fabric and fulfill your wishes. The processes of buying clothes in a shop are removed and stripped back, when you put on a piece of our clothing you know where it came from and who made it.
Working piece by piece is a lot more hand to mouth, if the orders do not come in, if the phone doesn't ring, then we don't get paid and when you are constantly trying to grow and develop what you do, this can be tough. Budgeting for a business that is so sporadic is hard.
We want to develop what we do more and run a capsule collection along side our staple pieces so that shops can develop a bespoke piece specifically for them alongside a seasonal collection of key pieces. We are currently working on creating more pieces that allow the customer to throw fabrics at it, broadening the range of pieces that customers can order and select different fabrics for working on the same principles of high quality fabric and stripped back quality detailing.
Thus far you've tackled various hoodies and the staple varsity jacket. What other items are in the pipeline?
We have just finished our take on the Perfecto. We picked this piece because it has an identity that is shared by the hoodie and the varsity. It was, and to an extent still is, a statement of youth rebellion from Marlon Brando and James Dean in the '50's to punks and rockers now. It is also a staple piece of US streetwear, like the varsity, that through cut and fabric choice we can Anglicise and we like the juxtaposition of using British wools on a piece of clothing that would never be associated with that fabric.
We are working on a few classic pieces from both US and British heritage that we can apply to our fabrics and bespoke service. We also want to offer more variety in the shapes we already have created. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few months.
Will HoB be branching out beyond streetwear at any point?
We like what we do now in streetwear and although eventually we want to broaden what we do outside of streetwear we are happy making what we make. We are always looking to the future but with the mountains of sewing we have to do it is more daydreaming at the moment and sketches on the back of bills.
Tell us about some of your biggest influences at the moment specifically when designing new wares or looking for new materials.
We are influenced so much by our environment, being surrounded by such nice fabric day in day out will always influence what we do and what we feel about clothing in general. We are also influenced by big British brands, the likes of Barbour, Burberry, Gloverall, Aquascutum, Dr Martens, Crockett and Jones etc. These brands have staple items that they have been making year on year for 50+ years and we want to have the same. We also love a lot of designers and what they do, Maison Martin Margiela, Raf Simons, A.P.C etc.
When it comes to designing new things we look at our own personal heritage, our families and what they did, our own wardrobes and the stuff we want to buy. At the same time we only want to do something that is the best of what it can be, if someone else is doing it we won't bother. Making a duffle coat in navy or a trench coat in beige seems a bit stupid as if you want these items other people do them better and have been doing them better for years. If we don't think we can bring a twist to the garment or cannot create something that outdoes what is going on then it seems pretty pointless to do. Why would you buy jeans from us when Levi Vintage is already doing it better?
As HoB has been involved with a number of collaborations so far, such as with Chimp, do you have any others in mind that you'd love to work with?
Danish brand called Soulland for A/W '11 which is worth checking out. We would love to work with a couple of massive brands, like Nike because the possibilities are incredible with a brand like that and we love trainers so that would be a good start. We have a pretty strong desire at the moment to do something with Marks and Spencers, they are the classic British high street retailer and we could do some great things with their menswear to re-identify with consumers they have lost.
Otherwise, we like anyone who comes to us with an idea of what they want their jacket to look like and our aim is always to make the jacket that the person who wears it thinks is the best one we have done, that they have chosen the best colours and details. As long as we continue to do that we will be quite happy.
What's the most important criteria you have when deciding who to work with, as opposed to working directly for a client?
A strong idea of the clients customer base is essential. By working with a shop, you are creating something that speaks of that shop and the customer that shops there. If we can create something that speaks with our voice and the shops voice to the customer then we will always be open to work with the retailer. Not everyone wants to pick every last detail of a jacket but they do appreciate the quality and through working with retailers who know their customer base we are still able to create great pieces of immaculate quality where everyone is happy.
We're still in the middle of a cold winter here in the UK, would you care to share your personal winter staples that you'll have throughout the season?
Winter staples... good shoes, good socks, lots of layers and a decent hat.

Shortwave & Longwave Radiation Exhibits
Living with Sun and Weather
People build houses to provide shelter from the elements. To maintain comfort and security, our houses must moderate the effects of sun and weather. The more careful we are at building our shelters, the less energy we use for both heating and cooling.
Orienting buildings in certain known relationships to the direction of the sun helps us maximize shade in summer and early fall, keep warm in winter and early spring. By constructing roof overhangs and porches, placing windows carefully, and by using shading devices such as awnings, trellises and landscaping, we can maximize comfort, save energy and provide for the most enjoyable use of our homes.
Proper building orientation and shading can reduce a home's total energy use by as much as 25%.
In a typical subdivision, as many as 75% of the homes are oriented incorrectly.
Each tree you plant consumes about 13lb of CO2 a year at maturity. If 100,000 people plant trees this year, by the year 2010 mroe than 1 million lb. of CO2 will be absorbed annually by those trees.

Paradise Island Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
The Beach was so soft, the sun was shining the sound of the waves lapping against the beach, I kept thinking I was in a Corona commercial. The environment just allowed you to be so Happy all the time.
I stayed in a villa less than 50ft from the beach AND a pool with 3, 15 foot waterfalls. In the background of everything there was always the constant sound of water. The villa was nice it was like staying in a luxury pool house. The first day I toured the property, the landscaping was impeccable. They set it up so that everywhere you turned there was a view( My favorites view were from the library and beach side grill). If you have visited the Atlantis hotel on a cruise and walked through the lobby you have only seen the half of the splendor that is Atlantis.
boy o Boy did we eat some great food! I had conch every way imaginable! I was in seafood heaven, I didn't eat any red meat the whole time I was there. That environment makes you wanna eat healthier. I think the best was a restaurant that overlooked and calm inlet and the ocean. We had grilled conch that was freshly prepared.
The place had so many activities you need at least 3-4 days to take in most of them. The one of the best parts was the Leap of Faith, it's a water slide that drops you 60ft practically vertical. And the Aquarium was fantastic especially for those of us not interested in snorkeling. I was so very blessed to have the opportunity to take this trip.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. I look at them and think someone photoshopped me in was I really there???

W. F. George Jr.
From staff and wire reports - Nov 03, 2011
W.F. George, Jr., 75, a native of Lufkin, Texas and resident of Hahnville passed away on Oct. 16, 2011 at his home.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ruth Sapia George, his mother, Lurley Bailey, his grandfather, George A. Baldwin (Dad), and sister, Jamie Lou Buckner. He was the beloved father of Candis Patecek (Irvin) of Luling, Randal George (Teresa) of Mangham, Deborah Dampier (Ray) of Belle Chasse, and Wanda Berry of Luling; and legal guardian of Chelsa Fales of Des Allemands. He is also survived by nine grandchildren: Eric Zammit Jr., Jamie L. Zammit, Derek Dampier (Stacy), Blake Zammit (Kali), Justin George, Randi-Lynn Hendricks (Lee), Christopher Berry, Drew Dampier, and Steven Berry; two great-grandchildren, Emma Zammit and Reid Dampier, two step-great grandchildren, Norman and Julien Adams, and two sisters, Rosemary Cox and Geneva Wade.
W.F. attended school and college in Lufkin. He served for 4 years in the U.S. Air Force. He married Ruth Sapia in April of 1960. The couple lived most of their married lives in Hahnville while working for LP&L until his retirement in 1991. He was known as Mr. LP&L because anyone who had problems with their lights called upon W.F. for help. He started the G&J Cattle Company and raised cattle for many years.
He also volunteered as a softball coach for the West St. Charles and G&J Girls teams. He volunteered for the American Red Cross and supported his wife with other volunteer programs including supporting Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church. He loved to be around people and people loved to be around him. He was a stranger to no one and always looked for opportunities to help others in need.
A celebration of his life was held at Mothe Funeral Home in Marrero on Oct. 18, with a Funeral Mass officiated by Rev. John Finn at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Hahnville on Oct. 19. He was buried next to his beloved wife at St. Charles Cemetery in Luling.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to St. Charles Hospital, East Jefferson Hospital, Hospice-Odyess House and to our wonderful caregivers, Shawna Sumler, Niki Sumler, Lynette Morrison, Amy Carr, and Arlendra Crisler.
Donations can be made in his memory to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church, 1 Rectory Lane, Hahnville, LA 70057.

The minister, denying knowledge of the N2bn allocated to Regional Housing Scheme in the 2017 budget proposal of the ministry referred the lawmakers to the Ministry of Finance for information on the controversial item labeled FMOW99934089.
"I know as much of it as you do," Fashola told members of the committee.
The Chairman of the committee, Senator Barnabas Gemade, requested that the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, be invited to explain the insertion of the allocation.
According to Daily Post,the following conversation ensued between Fashola and Gemade during the budget defence:
Gemade: Finally, what is this provision of N2bn for regional housing scheme? What is regional housing scheme? Where is it taking place? What is happening? Have you seen it on Page 18?
Fashola: It is not our project. It came in from, I think, the Budget (Office). It is a Ministry of Finance initiative; saying that they want to do what they called 'family homes'. It is not from us.
Gemade: Yes, but they have put it here; otherwise, we will not be in the position to accept it.
Fashola: I know as much of it as you do sir.
Gemade: But you are here to defend this budget in totality.
Fashola: That is why I have come. I am explaining to you now, sir, on how it came into our budget. That is not what we submitted. We didn't submit that proposal.
Gemade: So, will the ministry be kind enough to tell the people who put this in this budget to come forward and let us know?
Fashola: Please.
Gemade: Let us know what is regional housing programme because government cannot be operated in secrecy.
Fashola: I think the committee, if you permit me to bring this suggestion…
Gemade: …should invite them?
Fashola: Yes, sir.
Gemade: But you know the people; we don't know them.
Fashola: No, sir. We just said finance sir.
Gemade: Finance ministry?
Fashola: Yes sir.
Gemade: We will write to the minister.
Fashola: Please do sir.
Gemade: (Pointing to the committee's secretariat) Write to the minister: We have seen this line, which costs N2bn. Let them send information here for us to know what it is all about.
He further noted that he had no knowledge on the N2bn allocation as it was discovered in the proposal after it was worked upon by the Ministry of Finance.

In this video, you will learn how to grow your YouTube channel fast in 2017.
I will show you strategies and principles that will help you have more success on YouTube using their algorithm in your favor.
Enjoy the video and let me know what you think in the comments below!
Here's how to grow your channel quickly using proven strategies:
To be successful now and in the future with your channel, you need to do two things:
No matter how good your video is, if no one clicks on it, it's useless. People take two main things into account when deciding to click on a video from a channel they aren't subscribed to:
Both need to be very compelling and make people want to click them.
Helpful resources:
The name of the game on YouTube these days is watch time. The longer people watch content on YouTube, the more money they make. To make a successful channel, you have to make YouTube money by increasing your channel's watch time.
One way to do this is to get to the point quickly in your video. If you have a long introduction, people will leave before you even get to the good part.
The percentage of you video that is watched on average does not matter to YouTube. What matters is how much total watch time your videos accumulate. So, to get more watch time, put more high-quality content in each video to make them longer.
The thing is, if you make videos longer by just repeating yourself or rambling, it won't help. Give people a good reason to keep watching.
Thanks to YouTube Analytics, we are able to see what videos perform best and which ones perform below average. A successful YouTube brand always studies the analytics and tries to build on what works best.
Figure out what your top 10 videos of the last month have in common and try to emulate that in future videos.
Not only does uploading videos more frequently improve traffic, it gives people a reason to keep coming back to YouTube to watch videos. If your subscribers like your content, they'll keep coming back for more when you upload new stuff.
Remember, the point is to get people on YouTube and keep them there.
Now, obviously a lot of YouTube channels don't rely solely on ad monetization for revenue. This means they have to send people to affiliate links, blogs, sales pages, etc. to make money.
That's fine some of the time, but don't make your videos get in the habit of leading people off of YouTube. Your videos will stop being promoted if they lead people away.
If you have a popular video that really performed much better than expected, use a similar title, keyword phrase, description, tags, etc. to build on that momentum. This also works with popular videos from other channels.
One thing I never paid enough attention to early in my YouTube career was where my channel traffic was coming from. You may have traffic coming from certain countries more than others.
Your videos may attract more of a certain gender or age bracket. You need to know these things! Check your demographics and traffic sources to optimize for them in the future.
For example, if most of your traffic comes from India, don't publish new videos at a time when they're all asleep.
YouTube's algorithm tends to give more traffic to channels that have momentum. So, you want to try and outdo your last video every time you publish a new one. Always be improving.
YouTube is an incredible platform for creators, even though many of us have been hurt by algorithm tweaks recently. In some ways these tweaks are good though because they wake us up and remind of us that we need to run our channels a certain way.
The more money you make YouTube the more your channel will be rewarded. The more you add value to viewers' lives, the more people will share your content and subscribe for more.
I'm an entrepreneur, fitness freak, artist, car enthusiast, sports fan and self improvement addict. My goal is to help people be their best and create incredible businesses that change the world.

[I wrote this for a communal blog run by the Yale Federalist Party about two years ago.]
There was a period of about two and a half years when I could write only about what I was writing, when everything devolved into a hyper-self-conscious narrative about the construction of narratives, the limitations of text, and the problems of communication in general. Everything was a half-ironic apology for its own statement, and maintained two definite assumptions: (1) that everything said was obvious to every possible reader; (2) that there remained an insurmountable gap between my mind and "yours." The consequence of this apologetic self-consciousness was a lack of content matched only in the writing of scribblers like Jacques Derrida, but it was given content by the two assumptions, which together establish a task for the writer. If you're sharp, O Reader, you will realize that this task is the task of the self-conscious hipster in all of us. In fact, it is the crisis underlying the hipster culture: how can I express myself without being trite?
Now, this phenomenon, which I call the basic crisis of hipsterness, arises from something like the perpetual exaggerations and lies of the mass media and the bland repetitiveness of industrial culture. These give rise to a pessimism about the meaningfulness of communication and doubts about the possibility of authentic expression. Given these doubts, the modern dualistic person takes the alienation of his soul from his body and realizes (with modern philosophy) that meaning is alienated from signifiers, so that the way to be authentic is to communicate self-consciously, and the way to communicate that one is self-conscious is to do things which are ridiculous but not be ashamed of them, so that it is clear that one is doing them only ironically. Thus in order to bridge the gap between meaning and signifier, one has to sever the two and graft meaning onto a new signifier, often the opposite of the old one. This is "irony" in contemporary usage. The ironist does something and implicitly says "I'm not really doing this; I'm ironically doing this."
However this has two consequences: first and most obviously the ironist is incapable of expressing values positively, because his communication never really gets past sarcasm. Second, the increasing gap between meaning and signifier forces the ironist to buy into a strong idea of interiority. The result is a kind of kierkegaardian despair, which looks like the kind of writing I described in the first paragraph. It is utterly contentless, except in its descriptions of its own formal qualities, descriptions which are themselves blighted by the plague of hyper-interiority. Interiority becomes a sort of postmodern defense mechanism, which assumes the existence of an insurmountable barrier protecting the self from intrusion by others. The individual cannot be understood, and thus cannot be judged, cannot be held accountable. Therefore, the thought goes, his freedom in his own sphere is absolute. However, the ironist is nonetheless human, and as such requires fellowship. But he cannot go outside the limits of his own sphere, because to do so would involve re-attaching meanings to their original signifiers, and this, he worries, means submitting his authentic, proper self to the inauthenticity and cliche which is the medium of all intersubjectivity. So he remains alone.

As Web 2.0 technologies (AJAX, Mash-ups, Web Services, etc.) are becoming in more demand by major organizations and government agencies, the question is: How easy/can I do it with it Microsoft-based technology? Well, join us for a 1 hour talk on how easy it is to add 2D/3D Mapping Capabilities to your web applications using Virtual Earth Technology. It's surprisingly easy with the Virtual Earth Map Control.
Here's more detail:
The Virtual Earth Platform is an integrated set of services that combines unique bird's eye, aerial, and satellite imagery with best-of-breed mapping, location and search functionality. It enables business to deliver innovative solutions and breakthrough customer experiences. With the Virtual Earth platform, companies can create an immersive experience that enables consumers to easily discover, search, and visualize business location data and locally relevant information. Take your websites and applications to the next level by integrating the Virtual Earth Platform to deliver the highly visual and locally relevant information consumer's care about most. This will be a developer focused session on programming with the Virtual Earth Map Control.
Today's talk will focus on the very easy to integrate/use Virtual Earth Map Control. The demonstration will focus on:
- How easy it is to integrate the mapping control in any application (Microsoft or Other)
- Programmatically control how the Users experience will be with the map
- Control 3D/2D, Zooming, locator "pins", etc.
- How specifically it would work with ASP.NET Applications
Who should come?
If you work on, or think that you will work on, any projects in the DoD, Aerospace, Transportation, Homeland Security space, this is definitely for you. But the uses are not limited to these industries only. Once you see what you can do and how easy it is, you may find other uses. The presentation will be Developer Focused, but technical managers might find it interesting from a "capabilities" perspective.

Acer Veriton z290g making a high pitched whistle
When I put my computer to sleep, it stops, and it starts as soon as I turn my computer on. Changes frequency right before the login screen comes on, and then it stays the same after that. My PC also takes a while to start up now. I have to shut it off and back on maybe 2-3 times before it'll boot up. Just a few minutes ago, Windows sent me to this uh... resume(?) screen that I've NEVER seen before.
Are these 2 things completely unrelated? Could I possibly have a virus that's causing this?
edit: it also changes frequency during windows' admin program run notification

Talk:Robust statistics
|WikiProject Statistics
|(Rated Start-class, High-importance)
I think this article could be improved greatly if it would provide some information about how robust statistics could be used in practice. I think that's the real goal of this field is to use it to improve estimates. For example, show how you would use robust stastics to improve the linear regression of a sequence of linear measurements with a single outlier (as the problem is demonstrated in the regression analysis article). This article should demonstrate a solution!
Book review[edit]
This part doesnt seem wikipediaish:
Good books on robust statistics include those by Huber (1981), Hampel et al (1986) and Rousseeuw and Leroy (1987). A modern treatment is given by Maronna et al (2006). Huber's book is quite theoretical, whereas the book by Rousseew and Leroy is very practical (although the sections discussing software are rather out of date, the bulk of the book is still very relevant). Hampel et al (1987) and Maronna et al (2006) fall somewhere in the middle ground. All four of these are recommended reading, though Maronna et al is the most up to date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
"classical statistical methods"[edit]
"classical statistical methods" is not defined. does this refer to parametric statistics? if so, a link in the summary would be appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Landroni (talk • contribs) 21:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Info-Gap decision theory[edit]
It should be pointed out that info-gap's robustness model is a simple instance of Wald's famous Maximin model. The text should be modified accordingly. Sniedo (talk) 10:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Empirical influence function[edit]
The section is just absurdly technical for a general reference work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 05:42, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- I can only agree, so I've added a
{{technical|section=…}}tag to it. --Qwfp (talk) 09:15, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Can't discern meaning[edit]
The introduction has the sentence "Unfortunately, when there are outliers in the data, classical methods often have very poor performance, like standard Kalman filters, which are not robust to them". I can't work out what the emboldened part means, in particular what "them" is. Could someone knowledgeable, either rewrite that sentence or (probably better) put it into two sentences, please? :-) 18.104.22.168 (talk) 16:56, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

WhatsApp and other IM services are the channel preferred by users to share content found on the Internet. While you can, of course, pass links directly from the place where you found them, lots of people these days prefer to send the actual file, as in the case of videos. Although TubeMate is the undisputed leader in its field, Videoder is also an excellent alternative for downloading YouTube videos to your phone, where you can select the save format and share it directly to your desired social networks.
Once the app is installed, the first thing you'll see is a video search in the upper part when you'll have to type in the search criteria. Once you find the video that interests you, you can click on it both to view it and select the desired output format from among the many available.
Along with the format (Webm, MP4, FLV or 3GP) you'll see the output resolution and the file size. In addition, you can download just the audio of the video in question in MP3 format, as well as selecting the downloads folder on your device (by default in /storage/emulated/o/Videoder).
When you select the format, the download will start. You don't need to have the app open, since you can see your progress in the notifications bar and you'll get a warning notice when it ends. From the app itself you can view the content of the aforementioned downloads folder.
Finally, by clicking on the downloaded video within the app, a context menu will drop down from which you can play the video, delete it, and send it to whomever you want on any of the social networks installed on your Android device, whether it be WhatsApp, Facebook, your Gmail, or Instagram, among many others.
