Irish photo- and video-sourcing company Tapastreet today announced a new collaboration project with the UK's Met office.
Tapastreet was founded in 2012 by ex-Intel engineer Joe Mitchell and ex-Google employee Dave Johnson. It provides a location-based photo and video discovery platform which enables users to see and share what is currently happening around the world by accessing real-time media uploaded to popular social networks.
Tapastreet has also developed a joint research project with Trinity College Dublin and The Institut National des Sciences Appliquees de Lyon (INSA) under the EU's Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways, Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
Last August, Tapastreet announced a E500,000 investment in the company, with half contributed by Kernel Capital Portfolio and half by Enterprise Ireland.
Today's announcement comes during Tapastreet's visit to the UK this week with Enterprise Ireland for the EI 'Ones to Watch' showcase hosted by the Irish Embassy in London.
The networking event, which supports Irish companies to encourage their sales growth in the UK, coincides with the historic state visit this week of Irish President Michael D Higgins to the UK.

Perfect seats as close as your iPhone?

Nut-Free SunButter® is Part of the Solution to Peanut Allergies
Our founder's niece, who has a peanut allergy, was part of the reason we created SunButter in the first place! We wanted a safe, nut-free food product for kids and their parents. Today, we have employees with food allergies, and our employees all live with and know people with food allergies and food sensitivities of all types. We're proud to be part of the solution.
Read the whole SunButter story.
Allergy Info: Safe for Nut, Tree Nut and Peanut Allergies
Our main processing facility is in the Upper Midwestern United States, surrounded by sunflower seed growers. (In fact, peanuts wouldn't even grow here!) We know these growers, and we make SunButter from their harvested sunflower seeds. We roast the seeds before we grind and blend them into SunButter, which makes a big difference in flavor. You could say it adds a 'nutty' flavor, but without any nuts at all.
See what others say about SunButter
All SunButter varieties are:
- Nut-free
- Peanut-free
- Tree nut-free
- Gluten-free
- Dairy-free
- Egg-free
- Processed in a strictly nut-free facility (Our employees aren't even allowed to bring in peanut butter sandwiches for lunch!)
Nutrition Info: Nut-Free Protein
We're now way beyond sandwiches! We love seeing what SunButter customers create with our products. We're especially fond of seeing it in kids' lunches and as a substitute for peanut butter in heirloomed family recipes. We're so proud that kids and their parents can safely enjoy sandwiches, smoothies, with apples, carrots, celery or crackers, and in nut-free recipes. SunButter gives kids and others with food allergies filling protein, great taste and other nutritional benefits, including:
- 27% RDA of Vitamin E
- 8% of iron
- Double the fiber of peanut butter with the same level of protein
- No hydrogenated oil
- 0% trans fatty acid
Note: We do make SunButter from sunflower seeds roasted on equipment that also roasts soybeans. We use a thorough cleanout process, yet if you have soy allergies, please read the details of our roasting process.

8 Reasons to Visit Brattleboro, Vermont
An Art Deco theater, a historic ski jump, and some seriously good cheese keep people coming back to this beloved New England town.

Il Poggiolo gets Jerry Kleiner's signature look in Hinsdale
Despite a demographic that would make most restaurateurs salivate, Hinsdale has not always been kind to its dining options. Since finally permitting liquor licenses in 2001 (Hinsdale was DuPage County's last bastion of temperance), the town has bid farewell to Salbute, Kafe Kokopelli and Embrace, all of them ambitious concepts.

Malindi beach. Bloody hot. We land in a hotel that prohibits prostitution, alcohol and homosexualism.
The beach itself is rather unpleasant. The tourists are not allowed to leave the hotel territory, and for a reason. After the first day of sitting back on the strand and ignoring all the beach-boys, we agree to pay for the club ticket and escape to the deck chairs.
It doesn't get better in the restaurants, either. A loud Italian lady with a modest Rastafari sit in the next table. An old man is having a conversation with a local woman wearing flamboyant make-up in the background. Three Italians parade to another table with local babes on stilettos right behind them. Half an hour later, the restaurant can be divided exactly into two colors and genders. As an illustration, a Kenyan woman heading to the ladies' room just kissed her date and is now scrubbing her lips with her arm. We discover we're the only ones who are not involved with prostitution in this restaurant. This is a true Italian sugar daddies' paradise.
About a short skirt
When the temperature reaches 35 degrees outside in the shadow, all our cultural tributes towards Muslim women are replaced with short lace skirts. The kind of skirts that flitter in the wind and don't do too great job covering out bottoms when reaching for a sweet in the ice-cream truck.
Terje suddenly feels someone pulling her skirt. And not upwards, like she was afraid, but as much towards the ground as possible. Terje looks back and sees a woman whose black burka covers her completely, except her frown and a disapproving gasp.
Done by the impulse
When John persuaded us to kill a chicken for dinner in Nairobi, I had another wish – to have a chicken as a travelling buddy. This kind of wishes are not too unrealistic in Africa. You just have to be in the right hotel in the right time, where the Muslim woman who adores you keeps a zillion bright yellow chicks for some farmer every Monday in a back room, snatches one and secretly gives it to you. Easy!
In short, when we got back to our room and I opened my hands, a yellow ball looked at us, cawing. Not older than 12 hours. Terje wanted the chicken to be named Malindi.
When I get back from the shower in the morning, a bunch of people are in our hotel room. The hotel owner's son brings the chicken something to eat, the receptionist pokes holes in a soap box, the electrician is cutting a plastic bottle into a drinking cup and even sawdust is found somewhere. When we ask a Muslim woman, how to handle the chicken, she hands us a brochure Broiler Management.

The widespread adoption of mobile payments just got another step closer as NetSwipe released its online application for processing credit card payments via a webcam.
Jumio, NetSwipe's parent company, will roll out its mobile versions on Android and iPhone in the coming month and has launched a WordPress plug-in for the popular blog sites which will allow its hosts to accept payments direct from their sites.
Credit card payment: See and pay
The system allows merchants to accept credit cards by simply having them viewed on a webcam, and soon on a smartphone. The technology senses the numbers on the card, plus it has the ability to determine whether the numbers and letters are raised, which is noted as a security feature.
NetSwipe will complete the transaction via secure video feed. According to Time.com, Jumio's founder Daniel Mattes said that the risk of fraud is reduced due to the ability of merchants to match the card to its holder (for instance, a man using a woman's card) and confirm the card is in the cardholder's hand. Most fraud is committed by thieves stealing credit card numbers, not the cards themselves, so this system of verifying a present cardholder is designed to give merchants an added layer of protection when making a sale.
Mobile gains momentum
The move to mobile payments is gaining momentum with the introduction of such technologies as these:
- Square, which allows iPhone users to swipe credit cards using a device attached to their phones
- AisleBuyer, which is designed to let customers make purchases in participating stores without having to use a central checkout
- Google Wallet, set to debut this year, which will let users store credit card information in their phones and swipe it for one-step payments.
Point-of-sale transactions are the key to the mobile push, and because card users still have to enter their security code information the safety of the cardholder's information is intact.

Article Extras
Updated: January 23, 2012 2:54AM
Despite repeated denials from Kim Kardashian's people, rumors continue to fly that the newlyweds' two-month-old marriage to Kris Humphries is already on the rocks.
"I'm so sick of denying all these crazy stories," a key Kardashian team member sighed Wednesday. "But something tells me this is going to go on for a while."
Fueling all the splitsville talk have been sightings of Humphries without his wedding ring, which the pro hoopster told a pal was due to a "skin irritation" on his ring finger.
More important have been stories — in celebrity outlets including Us Weekly and Hollywood Life — quoting sources saying Humphries resents Kardashian "talking down to him" or her being angry over his alleged flirting with other women.
A source in Minneapolis — a former Chicago pal of mine who now is a neighbor of the Humphries family — says the NBA player's friends have been gossiping about how poorly Kardashian and her clan have treated her new in-laws. "It's clear Kim thinks Kris' whole family are a bunch of hicks," said the ex-Chicagoan. "[The Humphries] have told people they feel like 'second-class citizens' when they're around the Kardashians."
There have been multiple reports about the couple fighting a lot lately — blamed on Kardashian feeling stressed by all her TV and product endorsement commitments and Humphries feeling frustrated by being idle and bored due to the NBA lockout.
† In an unrelated Kardashian tidbit, there's buzz that Justin Bieber was taken aback to learn about a tweet Kim sent out — being described as a ham-handed way to help little brother Rob Kardashian's chances on "Dancing With the Stars."
Kim tweeted "OMG I have Justin Bieber's phone number. Call him now @800-868-3402," which just so happens to have been the call-in number to vote for Rob on "DWTS."
WHAT A TWIT: Speaking of poor Twitter decisions, actor and comedian Orlando Jones is in hot water with political types and supposedly even the Secret Service and other law enforcement authorities for his tweets about Sarah Palin.
After the death of Moammar Gadhafi, Jones tweeted, "Libyan Rebels kill Gaddafi [sic]. If American liberals want respect they better stop listening to Aretha & kill Sarah Palin."
Though he got into a huge debate with followers on Twitter — outraged by his Palin comment — and stressed he was merely joking around, few are laughing. A Secret Service source expressed outrage that "a public person like Orlando Jones would be so stupid as to make any kind of suggestion — joking or not — about killing a politician or other high-profile individual.
"There are enough nutcases out there without planting these kinds of seeds to give a weak-minded person a dangerous idea."
FASHION FLASH: Prominent Chicago designer Maria Pinto — who gained a national reputation for dressing first lady Michelle Obama prior to her White House years — has left local retailer Mark Shale, where she served as women's creative director for the past seven months.
Pinto, who shuttered her own fashion business early in 2010, believes she has accomplished her goal of helping Mark Shale rebrand its women's department and is said to be eager to re-establish her own label.
A ROYAL ROLE: No doubt, a lot of actresses will be hankering to star in "Grace of Monaco," a film being developed about the late Princess Grace. The movie won't be about her Oscar-winning years as Grace Kelly, instead zeroing in on a six-month period in 1962, when she quietly helped her husband, Prince Rainier, keep France from ending Monaco's independence as the tiny tax-free haven on the shores of the Mediterranean.
GOOD GENES: While much has been made of incoming Cubs honcho Theo Epstein's baseball brilliance, it's also interesting to note his fascinating family history — with strong ties to Hollywood.
Epstein is the grandson of Philip Epstein, who with his twin brother Julius formed a famous screenwriting team in Hollywood's "Golden Age." Among the films they worked on were "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Arsenic and Old Lace," "Mr. Skeffington," "The Man Who Came to Dinner," and the eternal classic "Casablanca."
As my pal George Bliss points out, Theo's dad Leslie Epstein clearly inherited that writing gene. The noted author's impressive output has including the novels King of the Jews, Pandaemonium and San Remo Drive: A Novel from Memory, based on his childhood growing up in Hollywood in the 1940s and '50s.

The first season of NBC's Smash was full of much-discussed moments, including a truly loony Bollywood fantasy dance number and a musical number set in a bowling alley. Well, Smash fans, don't expect these flourishes when season two of the Broadway drama premieres on February 5 at 9pm. "There's no bowling alley sing-alongs," executive producer Joshua Safran tells EW in his first interview since replacing creator Theresa Rebeck as showrunner of the series last spring. "There are fantasy sequences, but so far not on the level of the Bollywood cover."

Belong Forever.
Thats the Carolina Panthers marketing campaign to persuade fans to buy Permanent Seat Licenses, which gives someone the right to buy season tickets for a lifetime of football at Bank of America Stadium.
But as the team negotiates with the city of Charlotte for $125 million in public money for stadium renovations, some fans have questioned what their PSLs guarantee them.
The truth: A PSL is only permanent and forever for as long as the team stays in Bank of America Stadium.
Your PSL is worthless if the team moves, said Mark Wattles of Charlotte, who said he bought two PSLs for $3,600 each when the franchise first came to Charlotte. I never thought it was much of an investment. I did it because I wanted to see football.
The Panthers are publicly committed to staying in Charlotte and continuing to play at their stadium, which opened in 1996. Experts who follow the NFL say it would make no sense for the Panthers to leave Charlotte, a fast-growing and prosperous city that has supported the team.
But that prospect of the team moving however remote is playing a part in negotiations with the City Council.
Some council members and business leaders are worried about the long-term future of the Panthers. The will of majority owner Jerry Richardson reportedly calls for the team to be sold within two years of his death, according to a source close to the team. The fear is that a new owner could easily move the team to Los Angeles, which doesnt have an NFL franchise.
As part of their debate, some city council members have said in closed session that spending tax dollars could be a way to contractually keep the team in Charlotte for a decade or so.
While the team is meeting with the city about anchoring the team to Charlotte, the team is marketing PSLs as a way to belong forever.
The fine print from an original PSL contract, however, states that the PSL owner has the right and obligation to buy tickets for the franchise for as long as the team plays in the Stadium.
That could theoretically be forever. Or it could be as short a timeframe as 2015 or 2025.
But the contract also has some protection for those who own seat licenses.
PSL owners wouldnt be required to spend more money if the team renovates the stadium. In other words, if the Panthers are playing at Bank of America Stadium, the team cant make a seat holder pay twice. However, the team could raise season ticket prices, which a PSL owner is obligated to purchase.
Groundbreaking venture
The Panthers were the first NFL team to ask fans to buy seat licenses, a financing plan that allowed private money to pay for all of the stadiums $187 million construction price. Taxpayers spent $60 million on infrastructure for the facility.
The PSL concept was controversial but was wildly successful. Sports consultant Max Muhleman, who worked with the team in creating the seat license concept, said he remembered the team getting sacks full of mail soon after the application period opened.
The sacks were full of PSL purchases. In the first day of counting, the prospective team had $40 million in commitments, Muhleman said.
The teams website says more than 62,000 PSLs have been sold and 1,200 are available. PSLs were created to pay for the stadiums construction, but they are still a source of revenue for the team.
They range in price from $20,000 per seat in the lower bowl near the 50-yard-line to $2,000 in the upper bowl behind the end zone.
Because the team has struggled on the field, its usually cheaper to buy PSLs on the secondary market.
Greg Carl, whose company PSLsource.com sells seat licenses for the Panthers and other teams, said most Carolina seat licenses sell for between $500 and $15,000. The exception, he said, was the teams glory years when it reached the Super Bowl and NFC Championship games in 2004 and 2006.
He said most people looking to buy seat licenses dont believe the PSL will last forever, as the teams marketing suggests.
I dont think people are thinking about passing them down to the children, Carl said. They know its good for the life of the stadium.
In theory, as each season is completed, the value of a PSL would decrease because Bank of America Stadium is one year older.
Carl said most of his buyers only expect to get 10 years worth of football from a PSL.
Most folks buying dont ask about depreciating value, he said.
As the first NFL team to use PSLs, the Panthers and their fans are also one of the first teams to confront what would happen to seat licenses in the event of a relocation, however unlikely.
Muhleman said the team has used the possibility of a new owner moving the team as leverage with the city.
Its out there, and you cant eliminate it, Muhleman said about the possibility of a new owner moving to Los Angeles. Everyone is hoping a little leverage will help.
Since the Panthers started PSLs, other NFL teams have followed, including the St. Louis Rams, the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets and Giants.
Most of those teams introduced their seat licenses within the last few years.
Muhleman said the Rams introduced their PSLs soon after the Panthers, as a way to lure the team from Los Angeles to Missouri.
He said the Rams sold their seat licenses only for as long as the teams 30-year lease in its stadium, the Edward Jones Dome. Instead of calling them Permanent Seat Licenses, as the Panthers had, the Rams called them Personal Seat Licenses, in an acknowledgment of their lack of permanency, Muhleman said.
The Rams are approaching a break point in their lease in 2014, in which it becomes easier to break their lease if their stadium isnt among the most modern in the NFL. The team is demanding $700 million in improvements to its stadium, and football experts believe there is a significant possibility the team could return to California.
The clock has run out (on the PSLs), Muhleman said.
The Oakland Raiders also sold time-limited seat licenses when the team returned to Oakland from Los Angeles in 1995.
But no professional team that has sold seat licenses has left that stadium. The issue isnt on the front burner for those who follow professional sports.
Kurt Badenhausen, a writer with Forbes who covers professional sports, said he wasnt sure about a team leaving a stadium funded by PSLs. The reason: Its never happened before, he said in an email.
Renovation plans
The Panthers have told council members they plan to spend $250 million upgrading their stadium. They have asked the city for $125 million, and the team plans to also ask the state for as much as $62 million in financial help.
The team has declined to comment on its plans.
Last year, team President Danny Morrison told the Observer the Panthers want to install escalators to make it easier for fans to reach the upper bowl. In addition, the team wants new, larger video boards.
Morrison stressed that the bones of the stadium are good, meaning that no significant structural work is needed.
If the renovations are approved, Muhleman estimates Bank of America Stadium would be structurally and financially viable for another 15 or 20 years.
After that, it would be up to a future ownership group to decide whether to stay in the stadium or seek a new home.
If the team decided to renovate the stadium a second time, PSL owners would probably come close to the teams marketing pitch of a lifetime of NFL football.

Concrete fence gates can have both decorative and utilitarian functions. Homeowner Associations use fence gates as a form of protection and privacy. Utilities use concrete fences with gated access to enclose high-voltage equipment. Commercial properties and municipalities surround their buildings with gated concrete fences to secure their assets.
|StoneTree® Fence Walls are uniquely designed for the easy, efficient addition of fence openings and gates of all sizes and for all purposes. Openings and/or gates in the concrete fence wall are measured and planned during the initial layout session. The type and size of the gate products to be installed, such as a swinging or rolling gate, will determine the engineering and installation methods for their insertion into the fence wall.
StoneTree® Concrete Fence Gate Uses
Temporary Access: Openings in the fence wall can be temporary, allowing access for construction vehicles or other equipment. Because StoneTree® Fence Walls utilize a rigid footing support system, a panel may be removed from the fence wall without adversely impacting the adjacent panels.
Permanent Pass-Thru: An opening of any size may be created in a StoneTree® Concrete Fence Wall to provide permanent, non-gated entry into the enclosed area.
Small Garden-Gate Doors: Smaller doors made of wood, wrought iron or other material may be used for openings where only foot traffic is allowed. StoneTree® Concrete Fence Walls accommodate gated access for both large and small openings.
Larger Utility Gates and HOA Gated Access: Larger gates may be used to allow vehicle access onto secured properties. StoneTree® Fence Walls can incorporate mechanical equipment for automatic fence gate opening and closure. Depending on the size of the opening, the gate is supported by the concrete fence wall, or by separate concrete columns.
Limitless Gate Designs: Gates may be engineered from a wide variety of materials to meet client specifications. They can be traditional concrete fence gates with ornamental accents such as wrought iron pickets, or they can have architectural details such as geometric shapes, logos or initials incorporated into the fence gate design.

I'm not familiar with the details of the Fedora release system so perhaps you can provide some details...
* Is the source used for the fedora release pulled directly from the leJOS CVS repo or is there some sort of manual upload of the source?
* What happens if the leJOS repos are updated? Who/what will update the fedora release and when will this update happen?
As to the toolchain issues, if you are offering to port the source to a new tool chain and support that new port then please talk to us. If anyone else reading this would like to do so then again please say so. The current VM code is old (dating back to the RCX), and I'm sure would benefit from a clean up (I'm well aware of the issues you have noted). But I for one have no real interest in doing this. The NXT is no longer current hardware, my experience of using the newer toolchains has been that the resultant code is larger (which causes problems with the limited space on the NXT) and slower then when using the older ones. I find it hard to get enthusiastic about a bigger/slower VM! In terms of supporting leJOS on the NXT I personally think there are many issues more important then this one that would benefit from additional developer effort, but if this is an area that interests you and you are prepared to provide ongoing effort to support the results, then obviously we would be interested. Note that these are my personal views on the subject, other developers may feel differently.

Noisy Nebraska fans force Northwestern to go with silent count
BY TONI GINNETTI email@example.com October 20, 2012 11:02PM
Updated: November 22, 2012 6:48AM
Ryan Field was sold out for the first time this season Saturday, but the crowd included thousands of Nebraska fans who made themselves heard — especially in the final minutes. The noise was so loud, the Wildcats had to go to their "silent count'' on offense. "We didn't prepare for that this whole week,'' said junior
The noise was so loud, the Wildcats had to go to their "silent count'' on offense.
"We didn't prepare for that this whole week,'' said juniorKain Colter , noting the silent count usually is needed only on the road in front of hostile crowds.
Injury report
Junior running back Venric Mark rushed for 118 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. But he left the game late in the fourth quarter after getting roughed up on a play and didn't return.Redshirt freshman cornerback
Nick VanHoose suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter and also left the game. Their conditions would be updated Monday.

Nebraska ended a four-game road losing streak, despite being held to fewer than 30 points for the first time. But 29 was enough, even if it took two late touchdowns to get there."Everyone knew we were going to score a touchdown,'' quarterback
Taylor Martinez said of his team's last two drives. "We could feel it in our guts and throughout the offense. We knew once we had the chance, we were going to score again.''
Home letdown
The Wildcats suffered their first home loss of the season and first since losing to Michigan State on Nov. 26, 2011.
But the quarterback tandem of Trevor Siemian and Colter did not throw an interception for the seventh time in eight games.

Since the day we brought Marley home she has been waking up between 6:20 and 6:30! EVERY single morning -- is that weird?
It doesn't matter what we do, when I put her in her crate or how tired she is once she is in her crate I don't hear a peep until 6:20!
Just wondering if all dogs do this or what.
Do dogs have an internal alarm clock?

Mine always know when it's breakfast or dinner time, and trust me, they let you know!
Posted 31 May 2013 - 10:46 AM
Jolie is like that. Only difference she wakes up at 2.30, goes potty and then sleeps till 6.30
Posted 31 May 2013 - 10:49 AM
Mine know when it is time to wake up in the mornings to go out and potty. Usually Maggie will let out two very forceful barks (what a diva) and then I know it is time to get up and let them out. Although this can be a pain on those weekends when I am just like oh come on just five more minutes please!
Posted 31 May 2013 - 12:39 PM
Mine definitely have stomach alarms, and if I'm 30 seconds late filling the bowls I hear about it...loudly. Since we usually get up between 5:30 and 6:00 (well, I do) they wake up round 5:30 as well, although they know not to fuss at that point! Gus likes to get up at 5:00 for some reason, and since he sleeps with us that was an issue for a while because he would insist that since HE was awake WE needed to be awake. I fixed that and now he waits until my alarm goes off before gleefully jumping on my face.
Posted 31 May 2013 - 03:02 PM
It is crazy!! lol...I always go to bed thinking it will be different but it never is -- I don't mind though, I set my alarm for 7:30 but have not needed it since getting her.
I am wondering if that will make life easier when I bring her to bed with me I can set my alarm for 6:30 and that way I can catch her before her usually pee time! Or maybe she will sleep longer if she can snuggle.
Posted 31 May 2013 - 05:07 PM
Chloe is my sleepy head she will sleep in and sometimes not even budge after I have been up for a while crazy girl sometime she up early but she can sleep, Pepper is 7 months and he likes to wake me up with the wet nose in the face lol yes they both sleep with me, it's just me and them, know idea what to do if I ever start dating?? Is that strange" you must like sleeping with dogs!"
Posted 31 May 2013 - 05:36 PM
Going back and forth between Daylight Savings Time and Standard Time always messes stuff up around my house.
Mine are usually really good about being quiet when *I* get up, but make lots of noise when my Husband gets up. I've never figured that one out.
Posted 31 May 2013 - 06:00 PM
Gizmoe was amazing -- he would wander into my daughter's room around 8 and sleep with her -- the odd time would come out and grab a drink and lay with me but every morning he would be snuggled in her bed and I could be up for hours before he would stroll out. He would go out to pee/poop maybe 2- 3 times -- once when he woke up, once in the afternoon and once before bed.
I must have done something right because he was the best!
Posted 01 June 2013 - 08:11 PM
They know when it's their dinner time and bark when it's late. They know they're night night time and automatically get into the play pens with their beds. They wake up with my mummy for 5 minutes then sleep til when I wake up around 7 or 8. They mope when they know its time for me to leave the house for school. They even bark at me when I'm late for school, built in mummy nagging programming. Haha

Introducing a Keynote Speaker Sample to Set the Stage
September 27, 2012 by Peter
Filed under Keynote Speakers
By taking guidance from introducing a keynote speaker sample, you can be prepared for the responsibility of introducing a keynote speaker to your audience in a manner that is bound to set him/her up for success. Whether you are given the responsibility to introduce a keynote speaker at a small official event or at a large corporate meeting, it is necessary that you must prepare the audience in a manner that proves the worth and credibility of the individual who is being presented while arousing curiosity among the audience as well.
A keynote speaker plays a vital role in making the event a success and a good speech covers even the lousy arrangements and all other negative aspects of the event. The guests tend to judge an event based on the entertainment that is provided and quality entertainment can cover up everything else. The main speech that is delivered by a keynote speaker is of course of the utmost importance and has the potential to create a huge impact if delivered correctly by manipulating on all the right aspects. However, the thing that actually leads the speaker to success is the way that the audience receives the speaker and takes to the ideas. Therefore, the person who is introducing the speaker must do so in a way that makes the job easier for the speaker.
What is it that you must do to make sure that the speaker is received well by the audience? What are the Do's and Don'ts of this particular responsibility?
Make a Brief Introduction
Make sure that you keep the introduction short and give maximum time to the speaker to build up his arguments and express his ideas. The audience is more interested in hearing what the speaker has to say so you must not make them wait any longer than you necessarily have to. Make the introduction interesting to arouse the curiosity of the audience by making a witty remark but do not try too much humor. You must make the audience respect the speaker and regard him as an individual who has complete command over the topic.
Involve the Speaker
It is a good idea to involve the speaker and take his opinion on the way that you are planning to introduce him to the audience. After all, you are giving an introduction of the speaker and you cannot do so without consulting the speaker regarding the authenticity of the facts.
The speaker might choose to make specific alterations in the introduction that might support his speech and make it easier for him to build up his arguments. If the speaker requests you to do so, you must respect the demand in order to make the reception of the speech a success. There must be no exaggeration in the speech and thefacts must be told just the way they are. Exaggeration leads to a loss of credibility as a remark made by you about the speaker might be in direct contrast with the point that the speaker is trying to make.
Introduce and Avoid Details
It is a good idea to stick with whatever the keynote speaker wants you to mention in the introduction. Remember that you are just supposed to introduce the topic of the speech along with a brief introduction of the speaker himself. Do not give out unnecessary details that might bore the audience. Give maximum time to the keynote speaker because he is the one that the audience expects to listen. Nobody likes to hear long accounts of things that are useless and a waste of time.
Practice Caution with Personal Details
Be careful when you give out personal details about the speaker. It is prudent to ask the speaker beforehand about the details so that you might not mention anything that is not true or potentially embarrassing for the speaker. Do not mention a lot of personal details because the audience would prefer listening to the speaker talk on the particular rather than learning the personal accounts of the life of the speaker.
A Positive Vibe
The audience is going to follow your lead in welcoming the keynote speaker. If the person who is introducing the keynote speaker seems actually excited about the prospect of listening to what the keynote speaker has to say, the audience would automatically be keen to hear him out as well. The introduction must indicate the excitement and the enthusiasm of the person who is introducing the speaker. However, make sure that it is not excessively sugary as it might make the audience ridicule the speaker instead of respecting him.
Half of the responsibility of making the speech successful rests on the shoulders of the individual who is introducing the speaker. Make sure that the introduction creates an impact on the audience.

Driver charged in deaths of cyclists released on bail; alleged Hampton drug dealer remains behind bars
Cindy Sheppard, 48, of Hampton appears in court Thursday in Rockingham County Superior Court. (JAMES A. KIMBLE)
Full text of earlier article continues below.
BRENTWOOD — An alleged drug dealer tied to the fatal car crash that killed two bicyclists during a charity event last Saturday had operated a "drug enterprise" from her Ocean Boulevard home, selling painkillers, heroin and crack cocaine, a prosecutor said. A third person was also summonsed in the case Thursday.
Cindy Sheppard, 48, of Hampton was brought to Rockingham County Superior Court, where prosecutors asked a judge to increase her bail in light of her continued drug dealing after she was indicted in a prior case.
"Unfortunately, that distribution led to the death of two women," Assistant County Attorney Karen Springer said after the hearing.
Sheppard allegedly gave the painkiller Fentanyl to Darriean Hess, 19, of Seabrook and allowed her to drive a 2002 Honda hours after she was stopped by Hampton police for speeding and driving without a license.
Police said Hess got back behind the wheel in the same car around 8:30 a.m. and drove southbound on Route 1A at a high rate of speed, drifting over the double yellow line and crashing into a group of bicyclists.
2 killed, 2 injured
Pamela Wells, 60, and Elise Bouchard, 52, both of Massachusetts, died while participating in the Granite State Wheelmen Seacoast Century Ride.
Two other bicyclists were injured, Uwe Uhmeyer, 60, and Margo Heigh, 54, both of Massachusetts.
Hampton police announced late Thursday that they summonsed the person who owned the Honda, Scott Martin, 19, of Seabrook. Martin was charged with a violation-level offense for allowing Hess to drive the 2002 Honda sometime after midnight, knowing she had no license to drive.
On Thursday, Circuit Court Judge Mark Weaver set Sheppard's bail at $10,000 cash or surety for the latest set of charges, which include sale of a controlled drug and allowing an improper person to operate a motor vehicle.
But Superior Court Judge Marguerite Wageling added another $25,000 cash bail on charges related to Sheppard's June 4 arrest on seven counts of possession of a controlled drug.
Wageling also required a source-of-funds hearing should Sheppard post the money. That hearing would determine whether the bail money was coming from a legitimate source and not Sheppard's alleged drug business.
Double amputee
Neil Reardon, Sheppard's court-appointed lawyer, argued for lower bail in both courts, saying his client is not a flight risk. He described her as lifelong New Hampshire resident who grew up in Nashua and had family throughout the state.
Reardon said that Sheppard was a double amputee from the knee down and that it would be "difficult for her to physically run away."
Springer argued that Sheppard was dealing a wide variety of drugs from her home when she was first arrested in June.
Hampton police said Sheppard had 7.3 grams of heroin in her home, along with four ounces of cocaine and small quantities of crack cocaine, oxycodone, diazepam, methylone and marijuana.
Police learned about her alleged drug business after monitoring phone records of another person, according to Springer.
Surveillance of her home also showed that, "a lot of people were going in her residence over a short period of time," Springer said.
Search warrants related to the drug case remain under court seal.
Sheppard was freed on $2,500 personal recognizance bail after her first arrest on drug charges. Reardon said his client had no criminal record.
Springer said Sheppard posted the $10,000 surety bail on the charges related to the crash around noontime on Thursday, prompting her office to seek a higher bail to keep her behind bars.
Fentanyl after 1:30 a.m.
Hess, who now faces two counts each of negligent homicide and second-degree assault, was first stopped for speeding in Hampton at 12:45 a.m. on Saturday — about eight hours before she allegedly veered into the bicyclists.
During the traffic stop, police discovered that Hess had no driver's license in New Hampshire or any other state. She was issued summonses and released to Sheppard, a licensed driver.
Sheppard was told that Hess couldn't drive because she didn't have a license, according to police. Sheppard then took control of the vehicle — a 2002 Honda Civic.
Hess told investigators during a police interview Tuesday that she spent the night at Sheppard's Hampton residence after she was released Saturday following the initial traffic stop.
During that time, Hess told police that Sheppard provided her with the drug Fentanyl, a police affidavit said.
"Ms. Hess stated that Ms. Sheppard took control of her vehicle and keys at the time of the initial traffic stop, but returned them to her with the knowledge that she would drive the vehicle in the morning," Hampton police detective Christopher Gilroy said in a sworn affidavit.
Sheppard is accused of giving Hess the Fentanyl some time after 1:30 a.m., police said.
Witnesses have told police that the vehicle was operating erratically before the accident, but police have not said that Hess was under the influence of alcohol or any drugs at the time.

Great American Bites: Las Vegas buffet reinvented at Wicked Spoon
The scene:
But there's a new kid on the block taking a more radical approach to the buffet scene, Wicked Spoon in the recently opened Cosmopolitan Las Vegas. The entire vibe is decidedly un-buffet: From many of the seats you can't even see the food, and it has a fawning wait staff replacing the cloth napkins and nice silverware every time you get up. But the real departure is its artistic rethinking of the buffet presentation. Gone are the make-it-yourself stations like the salad bar, and instead you get a range of single serving options. Many items are individually "packaged" in tiny pots, pans, and other unique serving vessels. Fried chicken comes in miniature fry baskets, freshly prepared pad thai is dispensed in classic white Chinese food take out boxes, and dessert options include a full-blown staffed gelato bar with nearly 20 flavors.
PHOTOS: Vegas buffet reinvented at Wicked Spoon
SINFULLY GOOD: Top five buffets in Vegas
The effect is slick and professional, and while you can still eat as much as you want, more rationally-sized individual servings make most patrons try smaller portions of more different things, sort of a forced culinary adventure.
Reason to visit:
The food:
But it sat very well with me. In Las Vegas, the buffet model has always been essentially the same, the difference being pricier ingredients as you go upscale. Here you actually get different foods. There are so many things you don't expect at a buffet, from hand-carved, house-smoked slab bacon to lemongrass-marinated steamed cod to tasty kalbi (Korean short ribs) to good house-made pork rillettes, a rustic French version of pate. The small plated portions are turned over very quickly so they are fresh, and the fried chicken, which was very good, had just been pulled from the oil. There's an impressive selection of artisanal salamis, cured meats and cheeses. The nouveau riff on Vietnamese bahn mi sandwiches, served on steamed dough, were delicious, the sushi was good, and even the thin crust pizza, cooked in visible, high-temperature pizza ovens, was well above average. Instead of breakfast and lunch they do a combined brunch service every day ($22 plus tax, $29 on weekends) where you can do either or both, followed by dinner ($35).
BEST OF: Vegas nightlife hotspots
BEST OF: Vegas daytime draws
The very best feature is the amazing dessert selection. While some buffets have self-service soft ice-cream dispensers, Wicked Spoon has the gelato bar. Benchmark flavors like pistachio were excellent, better than at any of the standalone gelato parlors I've tried in Vegas, plus they have truly creative variations like balsamic strawberry and pomegranate. A variety of chocolate-dipped strawberries include versions rolled in crushed heath bar and crushed oreos, a bakery-style case of fancy pastries, and even individual molten chocolate lava cakes in tiny pots.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics collaborated on an online article for publication in the December issue of Pediatrics which offers updated guidance on treating respiratory tract infections in children, with the goal of reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions.
This article is especially important as the entire country is entering cough, cold and flu season. All of the former are caused by viruses, not bacteria, and therefore do not respond to treatment with antibiotics. Studies have shown that as many as 10 million antibiotic prescriptions are written each year for infections that are most likely due to a virus, so there's no need for antibiotics.
Warm showers at bedtime (I love eucalyptus in my shower, too), a cool mist humidifier in the room, lots of fluids and chicken noodle soup and popsicles will all help soothe stuffy noses, cool scratchy throats and calm coughs. I'm trying tea with honey for my cough tonight.
Antibiotics are very important when used appropriately. That being said, at least 2 million people are infected with antibiotic resistant bacteria each year. By using antibiotics when only necessary, rather than for common upper respiratory infections, doctors are hopeful that the incidence of antibiotic resistance will not continue to rise.
We all want a quick fix for colds and coughs (me included!), but taking an antibiotic is not the answer. Just know that no matter what you do, it takes 7-10 days (or even 14) to get well, and that a toddler will get 5-7 colds, coughs and upper respiratory infections during the winter months. It's great if your child doesn't need an antibiotic; wear that badge with honor!
As a parent. you should be pleased that you don't have to give your child an antibiotic, unless necessary, for bacterial illnesses like strep throat or an ear infection in a young child. Ask your doctor questions.
What does help? Getting your child vaccinated, including the flu vaccine. Any child over the age of 6 months needs to get flu vaccine annually, and don't delay. Flu season is here!

We are now accepting applications for SIPP 2013.

When you submit your application to attend SIPP, you will be required to make a firm commitment online to pay all SIPP fees if you are accepted. Therefore, you should not submit an application until you are 100% certain that you can pay the required fees by the set deadlines and will attend SIPP if you are accepted. Please do not submit an application thinking that you will explore whether you can pay the fees after you find out whether you have been accepted. Submitting an application requires that you make the commitment to pay the fees if you are accepted.
When beginning to complete the online application, you must have the following information available:
- Mailing address, phone number, fax number, email address
- Undergraduate students: Undergraduate institution, undergraduate major, undergraduate GPA, expected date of graduation
- Graduate students: Institution, department, subfield, faculty adviser, degree working toward (MA/PhD), graduate GPA, maximum possible GPA, expected date of graduation
- Professionals: Current employer, current position, highest degree received, name of granting institution/department, faculty adviser

You will be asked to upload a Word or text file containing the following information:

Please identify someone who is acquainted with your training, abilities, experience, research work to date and your current responsibilities and have them submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf. This letter should be emailed to email@example.com. Your application will not be considered complete until this letter is received.
Partially filled out applications can be accessed and completed by going back to the registration site and signing in with the participant's last name and email address.
Completed applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis, and
qualified applicants will be notified of acceptance decisions via email
as quickly as possible after their complete applications have been
received. Thus, slots for SIPP 2012 will fill up with qualified
applicants who apply most quickly after we begin to accept
applications. Once 60 people are accepted, no more applications
will be considered.
The notification email will provide each accepted participant with a link to take them back to the registration web site. Sign back in with your last name and email address. Please have your credit card handy to provide your financial information to pay the first half of fees due. This payment of the first half of your participation, housing, and meal fees guarantees your admission to SIPP 2013 and must be received within 14 days of your notification of acceptance. If the fee is not received within that time frame, your slot will be offered to another applicant. All payments are non-refundable.
The second half of the participation, housing, and meal fees will be due by May 31, 2013. In order to submit your second payment, you will use the link provided in the email confirming your first payment.
Stanford reserves the right to cancel SIPP 2013 and refund all fees paid if an insufficient number of people apply to participate.
