Tuesday 21st July 2009
Well, this is probably the most memorable day of the expedition for all involved... and not for the right reasons... but before I get ahead of myself I should really start at the beginning of this rather eventful day.
We were to get up early this morning to make sure that we would be able to set off on the hike that our aravt was programmed to do. Given that this is Mongolia, and they generally have little use of maps, we had a Mongolian who was going to guide us on the hike.
Time keeping in Mongolia is a tad different from here in the UK. Generally when we say that we will set off around 9am, then we will try to set off as soon to that time as possible. In Mongolia they will wait for a good omen until they set off. This can mean that they will wait several hours until the omens are right.
I don't know what the omen was on this particular day, but it was actually nearer ten when we set off, heading just over the hill into the next valley and the entrance to the Bogd Khan National Park.
Once in the national park we headed to the museum and the ruined Manzhir Khid monastery. The place really was beautiful and rather awe inspiring.
|One of my favourite pictures (that I took anyway). The blue cloth is used in prayer.
|I just love the detail!
From the monastery we headed/scrambled up the steep slope behind it to the top of the hill, which is where our first mishap of the day happened. To be honest I am not entirely sure what happened, but one of the girls had a bit of a run in with a snake or something... anyway, she was a tad freaked out and required a bit of consoling. Once she was ok to carry on we set off again.
|This smaller shine was part way up the slope.
It was about 12noon ish that we reached this really large one at the top of the hill, and after doing our circuits of it for luck we stopped to take some photographs of the stunning view.
|The approach...
|Woo hoo! I got there!
|It doesn't really show well on camera... but out there, the horizon just keeps going further and further back. It's like the longer you stare at it the further it goes.
The guide set off again... wait a minute... we came from THAT direction... why is he going away from the site
"now we head for the summit"
.... oh crud...
We thought that we were at the summit already! We had been told that it would be a short walk and that we wouldn't need to take much in the way of supplies. But then again, we still hadn't got used to the Mongolians concept of time just yet.
It was actually 4 hours later that we reached the actual summit, with no food or water left... we were all starting to suffer from dehydration in the hot weather. But we were happy we had reached the summit.
To our left we could see Zuunmod...
to our right was Ulaanbaatar...
... and what's that thing in the middle...
... ohh yeah.... that'll be the biggest storm that they've had in 20years!
... ohhh and look, now its turning towards us
double crud!
We only stayed at the summit for a short while, as we raced down the mountain ahead of the storm. Unfortunately the storm won, it was only maybe 40mins or so after we started our descent that we were hit. This, ladies and gentlemen, is when the excrement collided with the propeller.
We got soaked. But why only be soaked by rain when you can be pummeled by hail stones that were the size of a 20pence piece. And believe me... they hurt! We were carrying our small day sack over our heads to try to provide a little bit of protection while we walked... but there was more than once we had to run for cover under the trees.
I know, I know, you don't need to tell me. Hiding under trees in a thunder and lightning storm isn't a good idea. Frankly it's dangerous. But at that point we were in too much pain to do anything but. Even when we were under the trees, with our bags over our heads we were crying out with pain when hit.
I managed to get one quick photo during one bit of hiding... just before we were told to turn everything electrical off so that we wouldn't attract any lightning.
The rest of the hike down to the site is frankly a bit of a jumble in my head. but there are certain things that stick out in my head.
Like the moment the lightning struck a nearby hill top, you could feel it through your entire body, and our guide.... the ONLY person who knew where we were... curled up in a ball and started screaming like a little pansy.
I also remember getting scared senseless by the marmots, who had been forced out of their holes (as they were overflowing with water) and were defending their territory against us.
Or the 5 rivers of ice cold water, that hadn't been there that morning, which we had to wade across and which went half way up my thigh.
But, thankfully, we all made it back to the site to find chaos. The flash flood had ripped right through the camp. The people that had been onsite that day had been running around trying to secure everything and reduce the damage as much as possible. They had been panicking about us as they hadn't been able to get in contact with us (everything electrical switched off remember?) and had made sure that there was a ger heated up for us to get immediately bundled into.
We actually had to be stripped out of our wet clothes by the others, our hands had gone so numb that we couldn't bend our fingers. Basically they started treating us all for hypothermia and dehydration (remember we had run out of water as the start of the day had been gloriously hot and sunny).
Once we had recovered enough, we were moved back to our our ger to rest and recover more while the others finished securing the site. By this point it was about dinner time, so we took the decision to make ourselves useful and make dinner for everyone on site (as the others were so busy they didn't have any time to prepare anything).
It was once we had dinner ready that we had been told that the storm may be returning and we were to evacuate.
Everyone and all personal belongings were to be removed from the site... NOW. The race was back on, and we were determined to win this time. All of our stuff was packed, but we also had to pack all the gear from the people that were in Zuunmod and Ulaanbaatar, so we went from ger to ger grabbing things and stuffing it into any bag that you could find. It could be sorted out later.
Those that were on the hike and those that were ill were to be evacuated first, so that included my aravt. We were to be taken to a boarding school that was empty for the summer. It was like a refugee camp...
...mass confusion, stuff everywhere (chain gangs to move gear from the buses inside to the corridors), people going around trying to find their bags... even a hospital room for those that were in bad shape. It was good when I found Eds little room of calm. He had imposed a rule that anyone coming into the room was not the panic and just RELAX.
I remember writing up my diary that night, up until then I had usually done some little funny notes of things that had happened that day (which I have tried to share with you).... but I made a conscience decision not to make too light of a day that could have gone horribly wrong.
Thanks again to those I borrowed photos from
Please be reassured that everyone from the expedition fully recovered from the effects of the storm, it was later reported to us that 8 Mongolians in Ulaanbaatar died... my thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families.

"Brilliant care I thought"
About: The Royal London Hospital The Royal London Hospital London E1 1BB
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
I broke my leg playing football last year and was taken to A&E at the Royal London before being taken to the trauma centre. The new hospital building had only opened 5 months earlier so everything was absolutely spick and span. I was put in my own room on the ward. Quality of care from surgeons, doctors, nurses and orderlies was first rate. There were some delays in treatment but this was to treat more seriously injured people than myself so I can't complain. All in all it restored my faith in the NHS.

Crowley Maritime Corporation's liner and logistics services groups recently worked together to provide both inland and ocean transportation for a massive boiler bound for Fruit of the Loom in Honduras. This large boiler measuring 35-feet long, 12-feet wide and 15-feet high was transported from a Fruit of the Loom manufacturing facility in Jamestown, KY, to a similar facility in Choloma, Honduras.
"The safe transit of this oversize load from the US to Honduras demonstrates Crowley's continued commitment to service in Latin America and to handling oversize loads with great care and expertise," said John Hourihan, Crowley senior vice president and general manager, Latin America services. "The move offered Crowley the opportunity to showcase its abilities while working with an important, established customer, Fruit of the Loom."
Once received in Gulfport, Miss., the boiler was lifted onto a custom lowboy by a crane that Crowley had contracted for this specific move. It was then loaded aboard the Caribe Merchant for the four-day transit to Puerto Cortez, Honduras, where Crowley again arranged transportation inland from the port to the Fruit of the Loom factory in Merendon.
Crowley is well known throughout the industry for its ability to handle the large and unusual. For example, in recent years, the company handled the transport of 76 subway cars from Jacksonville, FL, to San Juan, Puerto Rico for use in the Tren Urbano project. The 90-foot long railcars each measured 10.51 feet wide, 15.83 feet high and weighed 142,530 pounds. Additionally, the company shipped a 24-foot long by 14-foot wide by 15-foot high water heater from Texas to Honduras, three bottle washers each weighing 22,000 pounds from St. Louis to the Dominican Republic, and 29 double-stack railcars from Port Everglades to Panama.

Radio ham chats with the International Space Station from his garden shed
AN amateur radio enthusiast has made contact with the International Space Centre from his garden shed.
Adrian Lee in his shed and radio equipment
Adrian Lane realised it would be passing 200 miles above his home, travelling at 18,500mph.
This offered a brief window during which might be able to make contact. Until now the father of two has only communicated with other radio hams from his shed.
Adrian, 52, plotted the space station's route and as it came into his frequency he sent out a call with his unique sign.
To his delight an American astronaut responded to "welcome him aboard".
They chatted for nearly a minute before the space station shot out of range.
Adrian asked what it was like in space and got the answer: "Very dark".
Nonetheless Adrian, who shares his shed with his pet tortoise Bart, said the exchange "blew my mind".
He said: "The adrenalin was pumping a little bit. It was very enjoyable. I said to them how wonderful Earth must look from up there.
"They said 'Oh Adrian, it's amazing, you can't imagine what it looks like from up here'.
"He said it was very dark but when you look down at Earth it is full of colour.
"I basically asked who he was and how things were in space that day. It was such a rush.
I said to them how wonderful Earth must look from up there
"I was buzzing. It's not every day you get to talk to some guy out in space, and I did. It blows my mind really."
Radio hams use permitted frequencies to talk to fellow enthusiasts around the world without the internet or mobile phones.
Adrian is on Nasa's mailing list and received a notification the space station would be passing overhead.
He spent weeks listening for their call signal - NAISS - and when he finally heard it he sent out his own unique call sign 2E0SDR.
The station was in range for just four minutes and he made contact with them for 50 seconds.
He said many astronauts are also radio hams and are often willing to speak to fellow enthusiasts.
Adrian is a former lorry driver and security guard and now a full-time carer for his wife Deilwen at their home in home in Coleford, Glos. But she isn't on the same wavelength when it comes to his hobby.
He said: "She hates it with a passion. We've had so many rows over it. Even the kids know where to find me. Where's dad? Oh, he's in the shed again.
"It just fascinates me, all of it. Building the circuit boards, buying all components, soldering the bits together.
"And I love the true spirit of the ham radio. We're a global community. We exchange ideas all the time. But there are three things we never talk about: sex, religion and politics."

American Airlines is set to provide an in-flight entertainment media player for $8 a flight, filled with moves, music videos, games, and that day's major newspapers. Apparently, half of American's fleet are MD-80s which have no on-board entertainment. Rather than spending lots of money to retrofit them with expensive, integrated systems, American hopes to address passenger needs on a more individual basis.
Flights with the yet-unbranded portable media device start this week on flights from LaGuardia to Miami and LaGuardia to Dallas.

President Foster, SEG members, and friends: Jeremy P. Richards was born in England and fell in love with economic geology when he was a child. The first pieces in his rock collection included galena and other minerals from some small historic lead mines in the Yorkshire Pennines. He received his bachelor's degree in geology from the University of Cambridge (1983–1985), an M.Sc. degree from the University of Toronto (1986), an M.A. from Cambridge (1987), and completed his Ph.D. degree at the Australia National University in 1990. His education at universities in the UK, Canada, and Australia provided him with opportunities to work with world experts in economic geology, followed by a post-doc with Robert Kerrich at the University of Saskatchewan (1990–1992), after which he returned to the UK as Lecturer at the University of Leicester.
In recognition of his outstanding publications in economic geology as a young scientist, Jeremy …

A range of pests will attack the turf in a home lawn. How severe the attack on your lawn is is highly dependent on the specific pest involved, how healthy or stressed your lawn was before the insect attack, and on the variety of grass you are growing (how good your grass tastes to the pest!).
The weeds that you will generally find present in your lawn will be other grasses, sedges or broad-leaved species. Weeds can also be further classified by the length of their lifespan and are called annuals (their whole lifecycle is complete in one year), biennials (their lifecycle is complete in 2 years) or perennials (a life cycle of many years). It's often hard to tell which type of lifecycle a weed has, but it does impact on the type and success of control procedure to use on them.
While the home lawn may suffer from occasional disease attacks, they are generally not that frequent or severe. In addition, their diagnosis is quite difficult.
Common pests include armyworm (or other grubs that chew through leaves and stems), mites and scales that injure your turf by sucking the 'sap' from the plant, and nematodes. Nematodes are tiny worms (that you can't see without a microscope) that infect the root system of your turf. The damage they cause makes it difficult for the plant to uptake sufficient water and nutrients to grow very well.
Often pests attack turf that is growing quickly and is quite lush. Such growth is usually seen after the application of a basic, nitrogen fertiliser that is released quickly into the soil and area around the roots. A good way to encourage more consistent, controlled growth, and to reduce the chances of pest invasion, is to use a slow release fertiliser.
Chemical re-sellers and businesses that sell pesticides for the home-lawn are a good source of information regarding pesticides for your use. Remember to read the label carefully and to apply it strictly as the label describes.
While some people often think that at least the weeds are patches of green colour within their lawn, you need to be aware that they compete do with the grass species for light, nutrients and water and their presence is often to the detriment of your turf. They are also very soft and collapse under nearly any wear, and can be slippery and dangerous to the people and children using the lawn.
When controlling weeds, make sure you spray while the weeds are growing actively. The chemicals work by disrupting particular processes within the plant. When the plant is growing actively, the distribution of the chemical throughout the plant occurs efficiently and the cellular processes that the chemical affects are occurring at a high rate. Therefore at this time the best results will be achieved. To further ensure the best results possible, don't mow the weeds you intend to spray from at least 3 or more days before and after herbicide application and don't fertilise in the 2-week (or greater) period before or after the herbicide application.
As mentioned previously, make sure you minimise the drift from your herbicide spray so that you don't harm other plants in your, or your next-door neighbour's, yard. Also be aware that some chemicals you may want to use to control any weeds in your lawn will also kill your turf, so be particularly careful to apply the herbicide as selectively as possible.
Diseases that affect your lawn can be roughly divided into two categories, those that directly affect and are seen on the leaves of the grass, and those that affect the roots and ground level parts of the grass.
Foliar diseases come in a range of spots and marks on the foliage. For example, you may have seen tiny orange coloured blobs on grass leaves from time to time. These are indicative of the presence of the rust fungus. Most of these foliar diseases are often 'cured' in the home situation when the grass is next mown and the spots disappear.
The root diseases are caused by a wide range of fungi and can be difficult to diagnose. Sometimes there are few symptoms that anything is wrong except that perhaps the grass is not growing as vigorously as it should or used to. Because the root system is damaged the plant can't uptake nutrients and water and shoot growth is slowed or stopped.
In the home situation, the severity of diseases is rarely enough to warrant fungicide applications. Prevention is a better course and includes encouraging steady growth of your turf through the use of slow release fertilisers and ensuring irrigation occurs at times when water won't sit on the leaf surface for long periods. Many fungi require the presence of high moisture and humidity to attack, so irrigating very late in the day or at night when the water can't evaporate can increase the chances of infection, while watering when the leaf surface can dry relatively quickly will decrease chances of infection.

As of November 2015, PodCastle pays narrators for their work. Standard rates are $15 for flash-length stories (under 2000 words) and $30 for short stories between 2000 and 6000 words. Pay rates vary for full-cast readings and for longer works.
Narrators interested in more paid work may also consider auditioning with Strange Horizons, which also compensates readers.
How to Audition:
To audition, please fill out the following survey and attach an audio sample of yourself reading a piece of fiction, 5 minutes or less. Please include a pronunciation of your name in your recording. If you are proficient with any foreign languages or accents, feel free to include them in your demonstration. Our preferred technical specs and reading tips can be found here.
What to expect next:
We will review your recording, and offer you feedback if it's not quite what we're looking for, so you can audition again with a different setup or equipment later. Then your information goes into our narrator database to be used when we are looking for a reader.
Your contact information will also be shared with our sister podcasts (Escape Pod for science fiction, and PseudoPod for horror), as they share our narrator database. Narrations with them are still done on a volunteer (unpaid) basis, but narrator pay will be rolled out with them in the very near future.
When we find a story we'd like you to narrate, we send you a query letter with the text attached and give you a chance to read it and reject it if you're not interested or don't have the time. We try to do this at least 2 months before the due date, although there can be last minute rushes (which you're free to reject).
PodCastle is looking for quality fantasy fiction. If you're a writer with a speculative short story that you'd like to hear narrated by one of our performers, we'd like to see it.
- Submit using Standard Manuscript Format. We accept files in .odt, .rtf, .docx or .doc format.
- Word count: up to 6,000 words.
- Occasionally, we run reprints in the novelette range (up to 17,000 words), although they are a harder sell. Query to email@example.com before submitting longer works.
- No multiple submissions.
- Simultaneous submissions are permitted; just mention it in your cover letter up front, and let us know if you sell it elsewhere first.
- Reprints are welcome, and strongly encouraged.
Payment and Rights
We pay $.06/word for original fiction up to 6000 words, $100 flat rate for reprints above 2000 words, and $20 flat rate for reprints below 1500 words (flash fiction).
We are happy to consider stories previously published on Patreon as reprints.
PodCastle buys nonexclusive audio rights, and nonexclusive electronic rights to distribute the audio file under a Creative Commons license.
Specifically, we use the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license. Briefly, this means that the entire world has permission to distribute the audio files for free, provided they give credit for it, don't try to make money off of it, and don't change it in any way. Transcribing it, extracting portions from it beyond fair use, and mashing it up are all prohibited.
This license applies only to our audio performance of your work, for which we've contracted and paid you. It does not apply to your story itself; you retain your copyright and all rights to any other use of the story.
What We Want
PodCastle is looking for fantasy stories. We're open to all the sub-genres of fantasy, from magical realism to urban fantasy to slipstream to high fantasy, and everything in between. Fantastical or non-real content should be meaningful to the story.
We are an audio magazine. Our audience can't skim past the boring parts. Ideally, fiction should have strong pacing, well-defined characters, engaging dialogue, clear action, and still be beautiful. Above all, we're looking for stories that are fun to listen to. Humor is encouraged.
We hope to publish fiction reflecting the full range of settings and tropes found in fantasy fiction. We'd particularly like to see more stories set outside America, and stories that feature characters who represent a range of backgrounds and ethnicities.
Podcastle welcomes submissions from writers of all backgrounds. We are especially interested in seeing more submissions from people of backgrounds that have been historically underrepresented or excluded from traditional publishing, including, but not limited to, women, people of color, LGBTQ or non-binary gender people, persons with disabilities, members of religious minorities, and people from outside the United States. Our goal is to publish fantasy that reflects the diversity of the human race, so we strongly encourage submissions from these or any other underrepresented groups.
How to Submit
Prepare your manuscript in something approximating Standard Manuscript Format and submit through our online submissions portal. We accept files formatted in .rtf, .doc, .docx, and .odt.
In your cover letter, please include your legal name, byline (if different from your legal name), mailing address, and the story's approximate word count and publication history. If you have any previous publications, feel free to list the most recent three, but this is optional and won't affect your story's consideration.
Once you've sent us your story, you will get an automated confirmation via email. Please query if you have not received this confirmation within 24 hours.
After three months, if you haven't received a response, feel free to query by email.
By sending us your story you understand and agree that:
- You are the original creator of the work submitted to us;
- You are the copyright holder of the work;
- You are not prohibited by any prior agreement from the transfer of non-exclusive electronic and audio rights to the work;

"I try to make life a little easier for those who haven't had it easy," says Bro. Francis "Skip" Matthews. Bro. Skip's ministry is up-close and hands-on. He collects food and clothing for distribution to the homeless on Skid Row in Los Angeles. He works through the Catholic Worker soup kitchen, which is often called the "Hippie Kitchen." The facility feeds about 800 destitute people three times per week. "Being a Catholic Worker is not about judgment; it's just about being there for another human."
Bro. Skip also volunteers at the Good Shepherd Shelter, a safe house for battered women and their children. He is treasured for his gentle spirit and his ability to finagle new clothes or a birthday present for the shelter's clients. "I'm not much good at hearing the word 'no,' so I can usually get the donations the shelter needs," he says. Bro. Skip also works part-time at a Marianist middle school and assists with Marianist LIFE, a faith-formation program for high school students.
Bro. Victor Forlani, SM
Marianist and Catholic social teaching dictate that we are called by God to serve one another. Bro. Victor Forlani, a lecturer in management at the University of Dayton, and director of its Center for the Integration of Faith and Work, helps business students understand how this concept fits into their future careers.
"Commerce is about developing and selling products and services that enable people to grow personally and to improve society. It's about caring for people as citizens, as consumers … and as those God cares for," says Bro. Victor. "Business is part of what we do for each other."
Bro. Victor has made this very concept a reality. Several years ago, he challenged his students to develop a program that would enable struggling families to avoid high-interest payday loans. The resulting "Stretch Pay" loan program now operates through credit unions in eight states and saves borrowers an estimated $4 million per year while expanding the credit unions' customer base.
Bro. Frank O'Donnell, SM
Finding decent, affordable housing is a challenge for disadvantaged people across the globe. Marianist Bro. Frank O'Donnell has worked for decades to lower this hurdle for poor people in Baltimore, Md.
As an attorney, Bro. Frank understands the connection between legal issues and housing issues. In the 1990s, he helped develop the Tenant Advocacy Project to provide representation for low-income residents in property disputes. Later, he worked at the Community Law Center, which sought to improve services in Baltimore's most neglected neighborhoods.
Bro. Frank worked toward the enactment of Baltimore's 2007 Inclusionary Housing Act. The act requires developers receiving public funds to set aside homes for low- and middle-income families. While political wrangling has weakened the legislation, Bro. Frank remains patient. "We can take the long view and find a way to make it work," he says. "It's what we're called to do."

EPL: Robin van Persie rescued Man United, says Van Gaal
Southampton: Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal conceded that he was indebted to Robin van Persie after the Dutch striker's brace earned his below-par side a 2-1 victory at Southampton.
United's Robin van Persie
United prevailed at St Mary's on Monday despite an error-strewn display in which they mustered only three attempts at goal, with Van Persie netting either side of Graziano Pelle's first-half equaliser.
It gave United a fifth consecutive win and sent them up to third place in the Premier League ahead of Sunday's home game with old enemies Liverpool, but Van Gaal admitted that his team had been "lucky".
"I think that not only the goals are telling something about Robin van Persie, I think also his performance," the Dutchman told his post-match press conference.

The film is really not about his terminal illness though, which only makes up a tiny part of the plot...more like it was the straw that finally broke the camel's back, rather than a "trigger" per se.
I was reminded of "Falling Down" starring Michael Douglas, another dark comedy about a guy that looses it due to the sickening sh1t going on in the world around him and his personal life... Well worth a watch for the dark humored among us.
LOL! Zed from Police Academy.... didn't know that. Nice one Mooney.
Been wanting to see this since I saw Bobcat's reddit AMA.
Basically....it is worth watching for some of the scenes and some of the moments of brilliance, i agree with ryan that much of it was "meh"..but im a ranter and I liked some of the rants. the speech at the end could indeed have been better though.

There are many firms and companies that are using it and getting the repot of each day that let them decide the right time for the worker and provide the payment according to the total time they have given to the work.

Fleet Feet 4 Fitness: Balkan Dance
Wednesdays 7:00pm-9:00pm
Instructor Denis Murphy focuses on preserving classic dances while getting fit and having fun. Balkan dance comes from countries in the Balkan Peninsula (Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, etc.). These country dances tend to be done in short lines, open circles, or closed circles. Traditionally men and women often danced in separate lines, or in separate parts of a long line. Recreational folk dance groups tend to have everyone dancing together in mixed groups, though you still see separate lines in some dances. Classes are open to all ages and drop-ins welcome.

Six-month-old babies know words for common things, but struggle with similar nouns
Around the six-month mark, babies start to get really fun. They're not walking or talking, but they are probably babbling, grabbing and gumming, and teaching us about their likes and dislikes.

The days of employing a production company to come in and produce one long corporate video to cover every aspect of your business are long gone.
Less of a scattergun approach is used now, which is more in tune with the way people digest information – in shorter, more focused bites. It's like bringing out one dish at a time, rather than cramming it all on your plate. Because there is no one single video that could possibly cover everything about your business. Nor would you want it to. The key is focus – one topic, one video. There are so many different types of videos you can make, but rather than bombard you, I've decided to split this topic over 2 posts. So let's kick off with the first five ideas.
1. The overview video. This is really a video version of the 'About Us' or "What We Do" sections you find on most websites' landing pages. It should be short, personal, and above all – conversational. I've seen people make the mistake of simply taking the text from those sections of their landing page and reading them aloud to camera. The result is stilted and impersonal. When you do write it, do it as if you were talking to someone who'd just asked what your business does.
2. The explainer video. This is the latest trend in video for business. Basically, it's the opportunity for people to hear why working with you would be beneficial for them. In other words, you're highlighting what makes your business great, unique, and special. These videos usually end with some sort of call to action – like inviting you to contact them, to sign up for their newsletter, or to take up an offer.
3. How to videos. 'How to…' is the number one searched term on the net. These are basically demos or tutorials – so they're suitable for both internal and external uses. For the former, they can be used to train staff in procedures or show them how a new product or service works. For customers, there are endless possibilities for content. For example, just say you're a real estate agency. You wouldn't do only one 'how to' video on buying a house. That's a huge topic, so you'd break it down into several small how to's; how to liven up the front of my house for sale, how to negotiate a better price when buying, how to make an above-ground pool look more inviting, how to make the most of space in a small kitchen… These kinds of videos
not only help position you as an expert, but also as someone whose willing to share that expertise freely.
4. News videos. Again, you can use these both internally or externally. Think of it, literally, like a news segment. You can either showcase a new product or service that's just hit the market, review the latest report or news that's pertinent to your business [for example you run an accounting firm and a new controversial law has just come into play regarding superannuation] and you can even use a news video to send out to media agencies as a precursor to a press release to pique their interest.
5. Testimonials. Hearing and seeing your past customers talk about how impressed they were with your service will really resonate with your clients – and prospective clients. So that it's not all talking to camera, they can be easily livened up by cutting between the person giving the testimonial, and shots of the product or service in action. If you're a larger business, you can even make several testimonial videos, focusing specifically on each individual product or service you offer.
That's enough to get you started this week, but keep an eye out for the next installment, when I'll give you another 5 ideas for the types of videos you could make in and for your business. So stay tuned!

"Typically, whenever the economic cycle turns down, you see a rise in fraud, social unrest and political activism. The trend that we're seeing now is defined as hactivism, and typically what you see is people flooding websites in order to effectively bring down the website and make a political or ideological statement," Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) post-trade services director Leila Fourie told CNBC Africa on Friday.
"It's a very unusual channel that the broader community, in the form of either pressure groups and in some instances even terror groups, want to make a political or an ideological statement."
Cyber-crimes are yet to have massive financial and reputational impact but so far costs have been substantial for a number of bourses. These attacks and crimes are not usually financially motivated but aim to destabilise a system or a company's processes.
The JSE has taken precautions due to the rise in systemic risk and cyber-attacks on stock exchanges globally. The South African bourse has however not seen any exchange-related and fraudulently motivated hacks that have directly affected local markets.
In the global exchange world, trading environments are separated from more publically accessible technologies and the securities and firewalls are therefore constantly on guard to avoid any cyber-attacks.
"Because the economic crisis is very much connected to the financial markets this time around, financial organisations are typically targeted as a very interesting point or channel to use in order to get a message across that is politically or ideologically motivated," Fourie explained.
All trades on the JSE are surveyed on a regular basis for any form of insider trading or unusual patterns of behaviour that might indicate inappropriate trading practices. The bourse also has specialists in the IT, regulatory and auditing environments to prevent flash crashes.
"The exchanges globally are seen very much symbolically as a central point of capitalism and a very central part of the financial ecosystem, which would make an attack on these websites a logical extension for those wanting to make a statement," said Fourie.

The value of lim x-> 0 xsin (1/x) is?
The value of lim x-> 0 xsin (1/x) is?
As it is applicable in 0/0 formm
See l hopital cant be used
Use l hopital rule
Therefore. Lim x->0 Sin x^-1 / x^-1 =1
As we know lim x->0 sin x /x =1
See sin(1/0) is a finite value oscillating between -1 and 1 therefore when we put 0 in the above equation it will become 0 multiplied by sin(1/0) which is zero as any no. multiplied by zero is zero
1 .... Actually slightly less than 1.

Carpenter outduels Halladay as Cards advance to NLCSOct 8, 2011 - 7:30 AM
The Cardinals right-hander threw a three-hitter to send St. Louis past Roy Halladay and the Phillies, 1-0, and into the National League Championship Series.
Carpenter had started Game 2 of the series on three days' rest for the first time in his career and lasted only three innings, giving up four runs.
But Friday, in the decisive fifth game of the National League Division Series, Carpenter (1-0) stifled the Phillies for nine innings. He did not walk a batter, threw 70 of his 110 pitches for strikes, and struck out three.
"He was unbelievable," Halladay said. "Everything was down. Everything was moving. You hate to lose in a one-run game, but you have tip your hat to him."
The performance made a first-inning run stand up. Rafael Furcal began the game with a triple and scored on Skip Schumaker's double -- enough offense to give the Cardinals their first playoff series victory since 2006, when they won the World Series.
St. Louis will face Milwaukee, which beat Arizona earlier Friday in Game 5 of that series, in the NLCS. The opener is set for Sunday in Milwaukee.
Halladay (1-1) pitched eight innings after his early struggles, limiting St. Louis to six hits and a walk, while striking out seven.
But the Phillies' inability to score a run ended their season. They had high aspirations after winning a team-record 102 games during the regular season and assembling a pitching rotation with multiple aces.
However, they made an even earlier playoff exit than the year before, continuing a recent trend. Since winning the World Series in 2008, Philadelphia lost the World Series to the Yankees in 2009 and fell to the Giants in last year's NLCS.
"I feel very empty," said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. "I feel like that we've had support from our fans, and it's kind of hard. I don't really know what to say."
The Phillies could not have asked much more from Halladay, who fell behind thanks to some poorly placed pitches.
His fourth pitch to Furcal was a fastball up in the zone, and the shortstop drilled it to center field to reach third base. Halladay then engaged in a long at-bat against Schumaker, who lined the 10th pitch -- a hanging curveball -- to right field to plate Furcal.
The right-hander received some help during the next-bat, when second baseman Chase Utley fielded a spinning ground ball by Albert Pujols and fired to third to get Schumaker.
Halladay ultimately limited the damage to one run and didn't face another jam until the eighth inning, when St. Louis had the bases loaded with one out. He struck out Lance Berkman and got Matt Holliday to fly out to end his outing.
But he didn't receive any offensive support. Every scoring chance the Phillies had Friday was quickly shut down. Carpenter said he was able to get ahead in the count, control the strike zone with his fastball and use his breaking ball when he needed to.
"If you're aggressive and they know that, if they don't swing, you're going to be 1-2, 0-2, whatever it is early in the count or behind in the count, they're going to start swinging," Carpenter said, "and that's when you can start expanding the strike zone and getting the ball down, and getting them to swing at stuff you want them to swing at and producing good results."
Shane Victorino doubled with one out in the second before Raul Ibanez fouled out and Placido Polanco grounded out.
Then, in the fourth, Utley was hit by a pitch leading off. But a fielder's choice left Hunter Pence on first, and after Victorino singled to put runners on the corners with two away, Ibanez flied out to right.
A sixth-inning opportunity was halted when Yadier Molina caught Utley trying to steal second.
Utley nearly tied the game in the ninth, when he led off by smacking a fly ball deep to center. But Jon Jay ranged back to make the catch near the wall, and Carpenter retired Pence on a grounder.
The game, and the Phillies' season, ended with slugger Ryan Howard at the plate.
The first baseman hit a ground ball to second, where Nick Punto easily scooped it up. Punto walked several steps toward first before flipping to Pujols for the final out.
He had plenty of time to get the out because Howard had fallen to the ground halfway up the line with an apparent Achilles tendon injury. He said after the game he felt a "pop" and is set to have an MRI exam Saturday.
And as Howard lay on the ground, grabbing his left leg in pain and the season over, Pujols ran with his teammates toward Carpenter to begin their celebration.
Game Notes
Carpenter was making his 11th postseason start and threw his first complete game and shutout...Halladay pitched eight innings in his Game 1 start...The Phillies are 1-2 in final, decisive games of postseason series all-time. They beat the Astros in the final game of the 1980 NLCS and lost to Montreal in the final game of the 1981 NLDS.

Benefit-cap victims call on council to step in
YOUNG families facing eviction because of Tory benefit cuts demonstrated outside Edinburgh City Chambers yesterday during a council meeting in a bid to highlight their situation.
Eleven families, with a total of 42 children, are facing eviction from their privately rented homes in north Edinburgh because of the effects of benefits cap.
Some have already been kicked out and are living in unsuitable accommodation.
Unite Community co-ordinator for Scotland Jamie-Max Caldwell said that "further cuts to people's benefits have left families facing eviction" and it was a "total outrage" that the Westminster government "keeps attacking the most vulnerable in our society."
Mr Caldwell told the Star that Unite Community was standing alongside these families "as it is our duty to stand up in solidarity to fight against cuts."
He added: "The bravery of these families speaking out and campaigning against these evictions is an example to us all."
Unite Community's Edinburgh vice-chair Willie Black warned that benefit caps were putting more and more pressure on families already struggling to get by, and the current crisis was "just the tip of a very big iceberg."
He said tenants are "losing any kind of protections as Edinburgh council has scaled back the discretionary housing payment (DHP), which helped families make up the shortfall between their housing costs and benefits."
Mr Black said a toxic mix of housing shortages, sky-high rents, the benefit cap and landlords seeking to rent to tourists to increase their profits had caused the current crisis in Edinburgh.
He complained that the families had been offered "completely inadequate housing" in temporary hostels and B&Bs, often on the other side of the city, and it was difficult for those with no access to a car to move their belongings and get children to school.
He said the Tories were "kicking the poor in the teeth" and asked: "How can you organise your life if you don't have a home?"
The protesters are calling on Edinburgh council to pay full DHP to completely cover rent, house families in suitable accommodation and build more council homes.
They are also insisting that the Scottish government allocate funds for DHP payments and are calling for the next Westminster government to scrap the benefit cap.

Its just so much prettier than the normal stuff By William on 11/13/2017William would recommend this product to a friendI've resisted switching over to the colored PVC since its just an aesthetic booster for the under side but at the end of the day I like showing off what I have under the hood just as much as whats in the display. Looks great and works just like the normal stuff
Quality Product By Eatmoreyeah on 10/9/2017Eatmoreyeah would recommend this product to a friendWhen my pipe was delivered it was damaged badly. It was obvious this happened while in the possession of the shipping carrier. I called BRS and without hesitation they sent me another package that day.
Great looking Red pipe By Kurt on 7/19/2017Kurt would recommend this product to a friendI love this stuff. BRS does it best by far.

Awesome look. Very Clean. By Christopher on 12/2/2015Christopher would recommend this product to a friendI ordered the Red 1inch and 1/2inch PVC to match my Reef Octopus skimmer and I could't be happier. Great color and great quality. Can't wait to install it.
Also want to add how fast BRS shipping is!! Holy fish sticks batman. Every time I place an order it comes in half the time I expect it to. Great company.
was quality control on vacation? By Diane on 1/9/2015Diane wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI have had nothing but good experiences with brs. That being said, the quality of the pipe I got for what I paid was laughable at best. Deep cuts on the PVC like someone was not paying attention and sliced is with a blade. The entire shipment of tubing looked like someone drug it on the ground, kicked it and then put it in a box for shipment. Very, very disappointed in brs to allow this type of thing to happen. The amount of money I have spent on the shipment I expect more... not happy at all!
Price By Mike N. on 11/23/2014Mike N. would recommend this product to a friendGood pipe, looks great. Just don't buy it at Bulk Reef Supply way cheaper at Home Depot. Look it up under Furniture Grade PVC.

Product Questions
All PVC pipe will be measured by inside diameter. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
To clarify, the Color PVC item sold is Furniture grade. But my understanding was that furniture grade PVC wasn't meant for plumbing purposes.
Is this because of the possibility of leaching chemicals from the pipe into the flowing water? If so, why is it being sold?
For clarification the colored PVC will not leech anything as it is still PVC only. The difference is being Pressure rated such as the PVC pipe in the hardware store which will unfortunately be printed on every inch of the pipe. We use the Colored as it looks better and the role in the aquarium is not under the large pressures. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Here are some of our favorite forums!
Have a great day!
Unfortunately we are unable to special order different sizes of PVC. Other dimensions may be able to be found at large online plastic retailers. If you are looking for a short piece the full PVC is easy cut with PVC cutters at a local hardware store or with a hack saw.
The Color PVC will be Furniture grade. We do not carry a clear PVC option. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
This can be used on either drain or return line without issue.
This is compatible with both schedule 40 and Schedule 80. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
If you PVC pipe are marked as 1" then you will want to use 1" fittings with that pipe. It doesn't matter if it is Sch 40, or Sch 80 they are interchangeable.

Kids Days Out In Hampshire
Look for Kids Days Out and things to do in Hampshire. This is a great area for activities and attractions for the whole family. We also have ideas for School Trips and if you have not been to the Planetarium in Winchester you must go. The historic New Forest is towards the south of the county, with its moors and ancient forests where ponies and horses roam free. Hampshire also has a great coastline with superb walking and sailing. There are also good beaches towards Christchurch which itself is worth a visit and many nature reserves nearby. This is one of my favourite counties.
