Facebook App Adoption of the Top 100 brands
Justin Kistner
July 22nd, 2010
Topics: Measurement, Optimization, Trends
Facebook apps are popular tools for modern marketers. They allow brands to create engaging experiences for their Facebook fans such as polls, coupons, video channels, and more. Because we talk with a lot of companies about using our Facebook Analytics to track the success of their Facebook Apps, we are often asked for benchmarks about app adoption. Brands are asking because they want to see how they stack up to other brands. So we decided to do a little research. Here's what we found:
With such a wide range of distribution, we felt like it was hard to get a sense of the bigger picture. So, we made a new chart that used ranges instead of the exact count, and it produced this more meaningful chart below:
Notable Facebook app adoption patterns
- Almost half of the top 100 brands do not use apps.
- Of those brands do use Facebook apps, most use 1-3.
- Avon used the most apps at 9. Followed by Coca-Cola, Louis Vuitton, and Samsung who all use 8 apps.
About our methodology
We started with the top 100 brands in social media as identified by the Altimeter Group. Then, we searched for their main corporate fan page and counted the number of apps and tabs they were using. It's important to note that we only focused on the main corporate fan pages of the top 100 brands. We counted the apps on June 17th, 2010.
We are doing some additional research about the number of fan pages that brands are using and the number of apps on the other fan pages. For example, Nike focuses on its sub brands like Running and Golf rather than a main corporate fan page.
The list of the top 100 we chose was based on the research by the Altimeter Group. They focused on the top brands of social media. Eleven brands on that list did not have a Facebook fan page. We plan to create a new list that is the top 100 brands on Facebook and recalculate the app adoption numbers.
We also plan to look at the top brands in the world regardless of their social media adoption because it would be interesting to see those adoption patterns.

CUBE TV is the MCUL's online video portal, with regular updates of topics and information for CUs:
CU National Update: For the week of Jan. 28, CUBE TV's Mona Shand looks at even more changes to the CFPB's rules on remittance transfers and has the details of how you can weigh in. Also, hear how credit unions and banks compare when it comes to new charters, and what the regulators want to know about your credit union's Facebook page. Plus in this week's CU Community Spotlight, hear how a Michigan credit union's donation is music to the entire community's ears.
CU Compliance Connection: The Expedited Funds Availability Act provides credit union employees with important information on requirements for making deposited items available to members in a timely manner. Join us for an overview of check holds and member notification in this installment of CU Compliance Connection.
Product Showcase: MCUL Grassroots Coordinator Ashley Ligon, along with credit union officials discuss the importance and ease of the Lapel Pin Program, MCUL's premier state PAC fundraiser.
Michigan Priority Report: Another successful quarter for Michigan credit unions is in the books. As MCUL & Affiliates CEO David Adams explains in his Michigan Priority Report, the numbers show strong evidence of not just the continued growth of credit unions, but a marked shift away from banks as more consumers seek out the credit union difference.
Special Reports: The 2012 Grand Raffle campaign to benefit the MCUL Federal PAC, MCULLAF, sold over 40,000 tickets, raising over $200,000 through 144 participating credit unions – a new record for the campaign. This year's winning ticket was sold by Lake Michigan CU in Grand Rapids, to member Deanna W. of Kentwood. Thanks to all those who participated in this year's Grand Raffle.

Novell wins against SCO in final judgement
Victory for Linux and open source as judge rules in favour of Novell
According to Dell 'Ubuntu is safer than Microsoft® Windows®'
Ok, so this is something Linux users have known for years, but it's nice when you read that a huge company like Dell says it as well!
Number 1 on Google
Blimey after 22 hours I'm number one on Google.com for the search:
ubuntu 10.04 ultimate
Countryside randomness
I do love living in the Countryside. Whilst on the train to work this morning, I passed through Worcester Racecourse.
Nice tart
One of the guys at work is retiring today, so he's been out and bought cakes and tarts for us all.
This is what I chose:
Linux to the rescue - Using ImageMagick to resize and watermark 1000's of files
I was chatting to a friend drjnet in #open-inn on Freenode IRC
Windows 7 Update forces Browser choice
So I rebooted one of my Windows 7 Ultimate test machines today, and upon login got a message that there where problems with my LAN reaching the Internet.
Going Guiless
So this week I've (with the encouragement and help of some friends!) been playing with moving away from using a Gui environment.

Linus Torvalds: No Kernel 3.0
Linux inventor Linus Torvalds says there's no need for Kernel 3.0.
You don't have to increase the version number to show how good you are, says Linus Torvalds. He does not anticipate work on version 3.0 of the Linux kernel starting in the near future. "We've been very good at introducing even pretty big new features without impacting the code-base in a disruptive manner, and without breaking any old functionality." says Torvalds, promising that there will not be a "get the new and improved version 3" campaign.
The current course of development with short release cycles is very close to the developer kernel, and this helps to avoid issues. A multiple year cycle for kernel development would not work. Although this model was necessary for awhile, as the kernel programmers had to make a few radical changes, version 2.6 of the kernel codebase is in good shape. The improved development process makes it unnecessary to revert to the "change everything" model.
Although Torvalds is very happy with kernel development he is unhappy with support from some hardware manufacturers. When asked what he would say to manufacturers who refuse to provide specifications and data sheets for kernel development, Torvalds is quoted as responding "Is "I hope you all die a painful death" too strong?", before going on to say that it was good news that the numbers of hardware vendors who cooperate with the Open Source community is growing, and praising Intel in particular.

We always have an absolute ball at the zoo – our kiddos look so forward to the sea lions (which happen to be one of our favorites!), Bill The Lion, the monkeys…and so many other furry friends that we enjoy visiting with year after year.
This year our kids have been so thrilled about "meeting" all of the new animals, that we raced right by the ice cream and treats just to make sure we were able to see them all! Our son pulled my hand the entire two or three hours hustling mommy up through exhibits to get a peek at the new 3-foot long tasselled wobbegong shark lurking in the 50,000 gallon Great Barrier Reef aquarium shark tank. Which by the way, was definitely worth the calories burned during our "zoo sprint." The aquarium is home to many underwater creatures including the moon jelly which was quite entrancing!
Our daughter patiently waited to see her favorite newcomer….while taking in all the oooh's and aaah's of the day! She was certain that we had saved the best for last upon meeting Sara, the new horse that resides in the big red barn at the Indiana Family Farm! She was just as beautiful and graceful as she had imagined!
The fascination felt by children and adults alike makes the zoo a place we want to come back to, time and again all season long! The cleanliness, the friendly staff, the pristine landscaping and so many extraordinary animals that are comfortable enough in their habitats to allow visitors a close-up and sometimes, they get down-right entertaining! Some of them show a slight hint of the "yes, I know I am magnificent thank you very much" personality – and oh, they really are!
Some love to be fed by their human friends . . .
some look intimidating . . .
and yet others look as soft and serene as an angel!
There's so much to see at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, and so much to do with activities such as pony rides, the zoo train (a handcrafted, scaled replica of an original 1863 C. P. Huntington locomotive), the relaxing river ride (in your own dugout canoe), the Sky Safari that takes you 38 feet in the air above the African Journey, and of course the magical whimsical Endangered Species Carousel – depicting endangered animals from Southeast Asia!
Your family is sure to find so many thrilling adventures at the zoo – a great place for fun and education that the whole family can enjoy! Be sure to check out their special events calendar, creature features, animal trainings (which is completely wonderfully fun!), feeding schedules and VIP experiences when planning your visit. You can find out more online. It will surely be a day of smiles for the entire family!

Wooden Table Base Kits
If you can imagine your dream table and make the tabletop -- we can supply you with everything else you need to make the table a reality. Our table base kits for four legged tables include the legs you select along with the aprons, corner blocks and all necessary hardware with the exception of the screws to mount the tabletop you provide. Create your custom wooden table base kit now. The legs for all of our table base kits are pre-mounted with threaded hanger bolts and are already mortised to receive the tenons on your side aprons. The aprons that come with all table leg kits are predrilled to receive the supplied screws used to secure the mortise and tenon joints. These aprons are always milled to 1" x 4" (finished dimensions) and include the option of a beaded, rounded or squared bottom profile. Further, with any Osborne wood table leg kit order you will receive four mitered wood corner blocks that are predrilled both for receiving the threaded hanger bolt as well as for being secured to the inside perimeter of the apron. We also include the appropriate quantity of each of the types of hardware you will need with your wood table leg kit. These will include the preinstalled hanger bolts, washers and nuts, the screws for tightening the aprons to the legs, and the screws for mounting the corner blocks to the aprons.
You may create a dining table kit by selecting "dining table" under the Choose Table Type heading on our order form. You will have the opportunity to select leg styles, wood types and dimensions that will result in the components necessary to create your one-of-a-kind dining table. You can also use our table leg kits to create coffee tables or end tables by merely selecting the appropriate leg height. Our wood table base kits can also become island apron kits by choosing one of our taller island legs when creating your table on our order site. The resulting taller tables serve equally well as either central preparation areas or in-kitchen dining areas. And – as with all of our wooden table base kits – the island apron kit provides you the opportunity to use custom dimensions, overhang and wood types in creating your own unique piece.
We also offer you pedestal base kits that allow you to create your own custom made pedestal table. And we further help you by offering rack and pinion table extenders specifically designed for use with the pedestal base kits that will result in easy-to-open pedestal tables. (We also have extensions available for use on four legged tables as well).
So go ahead and imagine your dream table. We will help you build it whether you are thinking of dining tables, kitchen island height tables or any other style of table. Invest your own style in the design by selecting from our vast array of leg designs and wood types. Take advantage of the ability to customize the size to perfectly suit your space. You're going to be pleased with the outcome so be sure to visit Table Apron Sets to begin the process of making your dream table a reality. Click here to begin the process of making your table dream a reality.

|"...taxation without representation is just as great
'tyranny' today...as it was in 1776...."
"...until we can establish equality between men and women we shall never realize the full development of which manhood and womanhood are capable."
Mary Stafford Anthony was born on April 2, 1827, to Daniel and Lucy Read Anthony, in Battenville (Washington County), New York. Her father was a liberal Quaker (Society of Friends) abolitionist, and although her mother had been raised a Baptist, the Anthony family were raised as Quakers. Anthony had three sisters and two brothers. One of her older sisters was Susan B. Anthony.
Anthony's father was at various times a shopkeeper, the owner and manager of cotton mills, a farmer, and an insurance agent. While the family lived in Battenville, her father, then a thriving mill owner, established a school in his house for his children and many of those in the neighborhood. It was there that Anthony received much of her early education.
During the Panic of 1837, Daniel Anthony lost everything, and he and his family were almost forced to give up all they owned to auction. Their most personal belongings were saved only when Anthony's uncle, Joshua Read, bid for them and returned them to the family.
In 1839, the Anthonys moved to Hardscrabble (later called Center Falls), New York. When Anthony was seventeen years old she followed the footsteps of her older sister Susan and became a teacher. She taught at a district school in Fort Edward, "boarded 'round" with district families and received $1.50 per week for her labors.
In late 1845, Anthony moved with her family to a small farm in Gates, west of Rochester (NY). She stayed at home for the next eight years, helping with the farm and the household and studying in her spare time. In 1852, attracted by the preaching of the liberal minister William Henry Channing, Anthony began to attend the Unitarian Church. In later years, she spoke of her reasons for attending the Church's Unity Club:
Those of you, who when young loved music, can appreciate my pleasure in the change from the long and often silent Quaker meeting, broken at last only by the hand-shaking, to one where instrumental and vocal music was followed by a good sermon, interesting to old and young alike, and then more music. The liberal preaching of William Henry Channing in 1852 proved so satisfactory that it was not long before this was our accepted church home....
In 1854, Anthony decided to return to teaching. She taught one year at a district school and another in a private school at Easton, New York prior to returning to Rochester. She began teaching in Rochester's public schools in 1856. In 1860, she served a stint as acting principal in one of the City's public schools. There, she demanded and received pay equal to a man, a highly unusual accomplishment. In 1868, she became principal in her own right of Ward School No. 2 in Rochester. She remained there until she resigned from the profession in 1883.
In 1862, Anthony's father died. The family farm was eventually sold, and Anthony moved with her mother to Rochester, living first on North Street and finally settling at 17 Madison Street. In 1870, Lucy Read Anthony became an invalid, and for the last six years of her life until her death in 1880, she was entirely helpless. Anthony assumed primary responsibility for her care.
In addition to her teaching and caregiving roles, Anthony also proved willing to come to the aid of her older sister Susan. In 1870, when Susan's journal The Revolution was in financial straits, Anthony not only loaned her sister money to help save the journal; she also spent a sweltering New York City summer working in the journal's office, while Susan traveled to raise money and attract subscribers.
Susan often expressed appreciation that her younger sister generally assumed the responsibility of caring for ill and dependent family members, thereby allowing Susan to devote her energies to women's rights activities. The Anthony sisters' respect and appreciation was mutual, however, and their relationship symbiotic. As a teacher, Anthony applauded her older sister's work on behalf of women's rights. In 1870, she sent Susan a gift of $50, saying that the sum was "not a present, merely, but...a debt...for 'services rendered.'" She noted that "Had there been no agitation for the last twenty years...we teachers might still be working for $1 per week and 'boarding 'round'...."
Although Anthony was to remain in the shadow of her famous older sister, she was a suffrage activist in her own right. Her interest in women's rights, in fact, preceded that of her sister. On August 2, 1848, she attended the Adjourned Convention in Rochester of the First Woman's Rights Convention and, together with her father and mother, signed the Declaration of Sentiments. In November of 1872, she was one of the women who, along with her sister Susan, voted in the presidential election. Anthony again attempted to register to vote in 1873, this time unsuccessfully. In 1878, she acted as a Monroe County delegate when the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) held its convention in Rochester, New York, to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the first woman's rights convention.
Anthony's mother died on April 3, 1880. Shortly afterwards, Anthony rented out the lower part of the house on Madison Street, living in the rooms upstairs and eating with her tenants. She resigned her position as school principal in 1883.
Anthony stepped up her women's rights activities in the mid-1880s. She was instrumental in establishing the Women's Political Club (later renamed the Political Equality Club). It was at her home that a number of interested women gathered in December of 1885; by March of 1886, the organization was fully formed and a president had been elected. Anthony herself was to assume the presidency of the organization in 1892. She served in this capacity for the next eleven years.
Anthony was to prove an activist president of the Political Equality Club (PEC). During her first year in office, the Club organized a drive to convince the City Council to include a women's suffrage clause in the City's new charter. The Club obtained a set of enrollment books and embarked upon a survey of the city in order to provide numbers to influential groups on how many residents favored woman suffrage. Although a partial survey was completed with impressive results, the City declined to seriously consider the suffrage clause.
In 1891, Anthony's sister Susan decided to settle permanently in Rochester, and the Political Equality Club (PEC) helped prepare the Anthony home for the Susan's return. From then on, Anthony's housekeeping chores were inextricably interwoven with women's rights activism, and guests -- long term and short term -- streamed through constantly. Susan B. Anthony's biographer wrote,
...friends often urge [the Anthony sisters] to hang out a sign -- The Wayside Inn -- for it is indeed a hostelry....There is always an extra plate on the table....[I]t is no uncommon thing for three or four guests to arrive a few minutes before supper in response to a pressing invitation from Miss [Susan] Anthony which she forgot to mention..., and the larder always has to be kept in a state of preparation for these 'surprise parties.' The three 'spare beds' often prove none too many for those who stay from one night to seven or more.
In 1893, Mary Anthony was elected corresponding secretary for the New York State Woman Suffrage Association (NYSWSA). That same year, the state's suffragists decided to mount an all-out campaign to obtain the vote for New York's women. The Anthony home became a campaign headquarters. Ida Husted Harper describes Anthony's domestic situation at the time:
The parlors became public offices; the guest chamber was transformed into a mailing department. Miss [Susan] Anthony's study was an office by day and a bedroom by night; and even the dining-room and kitchen were invaded.
Anthony herself was in the midst of this activity, working "day and night from December, 1893, to July, 1894, sending out thousands of letters, petition blanks, leaflets, suffrage papers...." In addition to these unpaid duties (she declined a salary), Anthony also took charge of the local canvass of the city in her capacity as President of the PEC. Her results in this effort were lauded as among the best in the State.
In 1896, when Susan met Ida Husted Harper, a reporter covering the California campaign, the elder Anthony sister decided to have Harper return to Rochester and write her biography. The house at Madison Street (along with Mary Anthony) was again pressed into service, becoming a workplace for Harper and the stenographers who were hired.
On top of these duties for the sake of the suffrage cause, Anthony became increasingly indispensable to Susan's daily life. She shopped for her famous sister, kept the house, did her errands, and helped her pack for her innumerable trips.
Anthony generally preferred to remain in the background, yet her tireless devotion to her sister and to the cause of women's rights was recognized on the occasion of her seventieth birthday, in 1897. There was a large celebration in her honor, impressive enough to be reported in the Democrat and Chronicle, the local newspaper. Speakers at the occasion included Jean Brooks Greenleaf and Rev. William C. Gannett. Among the gifts received were a purse containing $70 and a diamond pin.
Anthony, a homeowner and taxpayer, believed that women should not have to support a government that did not allow them representation. While she paid her taxes, she wanted it recorded that they were "Paid under protest." During the year 1897 Anthony began to make written "Protests." In one of the Protests, dated 1901, Anthony stated that while she was paying her taxes, she believed "...that taxation without representation is just as great 'tyranny' today...as it was in 1776...." Her last Protest, written in 1907 (the year of her death) stated in part that she "still" protested "against helping to support a Government manifestly so unjust to one-half of its people."
In 1900, Anthony again proved herself both a reliable sister and worker for the cause of women's rights, when she gave $2,000 to the University of Rochester, thereby helping to allow it to open its doors to women. Her sister, desperately seeking funds to meet the University's deadline, had persuaded Anthony to give what she had intended to bequeath to the university should it become co-educational. Susan B. Anthony had urged her sister, "Give it now....Don't wait or the girls may never be admitted...."
Susan B. Anthony had tried unsuccessfully to convince her younger sister to venture abroad during the former's trip to Europe in 1883. After much persuasion on the part of her older sister, Anthony did take a European trip in 1899. While there, she visited France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Scotland and England, as well as attending a portion of the International Council of Women's meeting in London. In 1904, again at the urging of her older sister, Anthony made a second voyage overseas, this time to attend the International Council of Women in Berlin. When the International Woman Suffrage Alliance was formed during their visit to Berlin, Susan B. Anthony was declared its first member, and Miss Mary Anthony was unanimously declared its second.
Anthony's suffrage work extended through her seventies and up until her death. In 1905 she traveled to Portland, Oregon with her sister to attend the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) convention. There, at an evening session, she read the Declaration of Sentiments, which she had signed back in 1848. The same year, the sisters held an open house in their home for delegates to the NYSWSA Convention, held in Rochester (NY). In 1906, she accompanied her sister Susan B. Anthony to Baltimore for the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) convention, held just over a month before her older sister died. An ailing Anthony traveled to Oregon shortly after Susan's death -- at Susan's request -- to help in that state's campaign for a women's suffrage amendment.
In October of 1906, Anthony attended her last suffrage convention, the NYSWSA meeting held in Syracuse, New York. On her deathbed she composed her final message to the NAWSA Convention, which was held in Chicago on February 14, 1907. She died at her home on February 7, 1907. Her funeral service was held at the Unitarian Church. She was buried next to her sister at Mount Hope Cemetery.

I've noticed over the last few days, following a hard run the day before, that my feet get really crampy. This isn't something that I've really ever experienced except for during one of my ultras. During that race I thought it was just that the rocks were beating my feet up but now I'm wondering if it isn't something else. One of my friends mentioned that it could be mild dehydration. Thoughts?
Follower of Forrest
Try adding some extra potassium (eat a banana)...that can help with cramping.

it happens to me after longer runs, if I move my foot a certain way or curl my toes a certain way- they lock up pretty hard. I've found that it's usually pretty short lived for me- maybe a couple of hours, of course I'm hydrating and drinking a recovery drink post run, so maybe that helps????

Yeah, typically. I don't think that there is really anything that is drastically different. I've been trying to increase my speed a little bit and have been pushing pretty hard. It's not a pain (I've had PF and know exactly what that feels like) but more crampy or achy than anything.

Occupy Wall Street has spawned several similar protests across the country, and some demonstrators at Occupy DC, which primarily targets the federal government, say it may be time for less chatter and more action. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.
It is a movement born of frustration, but while Occupy DC shares many similarities with its Wall Street counterpart, its demonstrators aren't directing their attention at the financial sector. Instead, they're setting their sights squarely on the federal government.
Though made up of mostly Washington residents, many at the camp have come to DC from across the country. They say they made the trip to be a part of something historic.
"It relates to everybody. Everyone can relate to this, and that's powerful. So I think anything that comes out of it will be big," said Jake Kulke, a protester from Wisconsin.
And that feeling of being a part of something bigger is what some experts say is keeping people from near and far traveling to the Occupy demonstrations.
"Anybody who has a grievance about what's happened economically in this country has felt this is their place to go, that this is a movement which is speaking for them," said Michael Kazin, a history professor at Georgetown University.
Recent clashes between protesters and police have sprung up at other Occupy demonstrations around the country. Occupy DC, however, has been tame in comparison. Some say too much so. "When I came here, there were a lot of people just occupying the park. We're like preaching to the choir out here. We're all talking to each other about every problem that we have, but we need to hit the streets," said Ashton Phillips, a former Wall Street demonstrator from San Diego.
The demonstrations have gotten the attention of at least a few in Congress. "I really hope that it will reach the point that people start listening to them and listening to the facts," said Manhattan Representative Charles Rangel.
But some say it's time for demonstrators to pack up their tents and look for new ways to make their message heard by those in power.
"Many people who live around the parks and work around the parks will want their parks back, and so the demonstrators will have to move on," said Kazin. "They'll have to think of the next thing to do."

YCL-LJC policy on young workers issuesYCL-LJC Central Committee statements on labourCampaigns we endorseLabour organizationsYCL-LJC materials on young workers issues
Workers wages have been decreasing for over 30 years when taking account into account inflation. Your standard of living has been, and is still, decreasing, as a result. Workers and especially young people are being forced to keep multiple jobs and are becoming homeless in shockingly high numbers because of under employment and low wages. These and other shocking facts become glaringly apparent with a simple glance at recent reports, fact sheets and statistics from such sources as Statistics Canada, the B.C. Federation of Labour, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and others. So, it's no wonder that young workers across Canada are starting to fight back and demand better work with better wages.
Coming soon
$10 NOW campaign (BC)B.C.'s lowest paid workers deserve a raise. Minimum wage earners working full-time should earn enough to stay above the poverty line.
Ban AsbestosAsbestos is a known killer and a leading cause of workers' deaths in Canada and around the world. Most developed countries, including the European Union, have banned asbestos. The World Health Organization (WHO), the International Labour Organization, the Canadian Cancer Society and other respected organizations have called for a ban on all forms of asbestos. But instead of banning asbestos, the Canadian government uses tax-payers dollars and Canadian embassies to actively promote the sale of asbestos around the world.
Employment Insurance - let's make it work for everyone!The Employment Insurance program must be there in tough times like these for those who paid into it. Laid-off workers need adequate benefits to support themselves and their families while they search for a new job.No BC HSTThe Liberal Government in British Columbia is going to implement a new tax beginning on July 1 2010. H.S.T. stands for Harmonized Sales Tax, and is the combination of Provincial Sales Tax (P.S.T) of 7%, and Government Sales Tax (G.S.T.) of 5%, into one new tax, H.S.T. of 12%. The HST disproportionately impacts lower income earners because far more of their limited income will be spent paying the now extra 7% tax than higher income earners.
Retirement Security for everyone! Pension plans and retirement savings have been hit hard by the economic crisis and the security of many Canadians is at risk. Some companies even want to cut defined benefit plans that employees paid into throughout their working lives.
The Truth About CLAC We think that unions should be chosen by the workers they're going to represent. But all too frequently, it seems like employers are doing the choosing when it comes to CLAC. Take a look and decide for yourself.
Women's economic equalityWhy do we need pay equity laws? The simple answer is that without laws (or unions fighting for higher wages), employers will pay as little as possible for wages. If they can get away with paying women less, they will.

This week's New Yorker is showing his students how kicking and punching translate into discipline and dedication. NY1's John Schiumo filed the following report.
They're learning courtesy, integrity, perseverance and self-control, all while getting a workout.
They're practicing the art of taekwondo, and Master Andrew Park is their leader and role model.
"I think we're reinforcing the children with what we spoke about before, like courtesy, respect, confidence, aside from just kicking and punching," Park says.
"I think he's a great teacher, and he helps us a lot," says Sky Choy, a student in the program. "It's really fun."
Park's passion for martial arts began as a child, when he moved to Flushing from Korea. His parents enrolled him at a local taekwondo school.
After college, he became a pharmacist, but soon realized that wasn't his real passion.
"When I'm thinking, 'I'm counting pills every day, I'm dealing with patients,' I couldn't see myself doing that for a very long, long time," he says. "I just fell in love with working with kids and just carrying out instruction, and I guess I fell in love with that. So I said, 'You know what? Let me have a place for it.'"
Eagles Tae Kwon Do School opened in 2011. Since then, Park has trained hundreds of children in all age groups. His students have won national championships. He's even nurturing future Olympic talent.
"We are pushing towards 2016 Brazil Olympics," he says. "We did just get back from Chicago, which was nationals. We came back with a couple of medals, and that was a big deal for us."
"He's been a role model to me for forever," says Jomo Mbele, a national Tae Kwon Do gold medalist. "We started here in a small place. He started first teaching me at YMCA, and now we're competing all over the world."
"I teach these guys that sometimes, the process of the race is very important, and not just the main goal sometimes, the end result," Park says. "So all the time spent sweating, and all the support that we're having, I think the whole process is something that you cherish, too."
So, for showing young New Yorkers how to use the art of taekwondo as a tool for success, Andrew Park is the latest New Yorker of the Week.

Facebook is an amazing phenomenon. It has allowed me to reconnect with countless old friends and meet family members I never knew existed. It bridges the distance between states, countries and time zones and makes staying in touch a breeze. Over the summer, I attended a reunion of my grade school class, most of whom I hadn't seen in close to twenty years. It was wonderful to catch up, swap stories and meet each other's children. Facebook makes it a breeze to share stories, introduce new babies and snoop on old crushes. It's pretty cool thing.
Except sometimes, it's not. Like, what about those friends you actually wanted to lose touch with? If you really wanted to maintain a relationship, wouldn't you have?* Some faces should remain just where you left them, in the past. With social media these days it's almost impossible to do that. And then, there are the faces that you forget altogether. A few years back, I deleted my MySpace account because, for the life of me, I could not remember this girl who supposedly was a good friend of mine. She talked about our late night talks and classes together and I had absolutely no idea who she was. So, I deleted my account rather than deal with the situation. She has yet to track me down on Facebook, but I'm waiting.
My very first Facebook friend request was from a super sweet girl who I went to college with. At the time, I had been dealing with some major e-mail spam and was suspicious of a last name I did not know, and the picture was way too small to recognize. So I declined her request. And then, to make matters worse, I blocked her. Later, I saw her on my husband's page and felt like an idiot. (Duh, Jill, he said, She got married and changed her name. Whoops.) After that, I became more liberal about accepting invitations, which has resulted in friends who I literally do not know. We may have friends in common or I know their spouse, but have no idea who they are. What's the point of having friends like that?
Most of the applications make no sense to me. Scrabble, I get. Trivia, ok. But personally, I've never liked being pelted with tomatoes or eggs. If someone presents me with flowers or cupcakes I want them to be real and I have a hard enough time accessorising myself without worrying about how glitzy my page looks. It's all just so stresful!
So, I try to limit my Facebook presence; between the applications, the games, the photos and the chats, one could waste days there. It's a major time sucker and I, for one, just don't have the time for that. I'm way too busy wasting time here.
*If we are Facebookfriends, this does not apply to YOU. I adore YOU and am thrilled to be back in touch. This is about all of those other people, but most definitely, positively not YOU. Kisses!

Every few months I become vegan for a month or so. Currently I'm in a vegan month: no meat, no chicken, no eggs, and no dairy products (as usual, for allergy reasons). And no meat/dairy substitutes. I hate all those soy/tofu products! I can only enjoy the real thing. Instead I eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains and legumes. Yes, I do look like a bird by the end of the month.
Usually the first two weeks are easy. There are endless vegetable dishes I can make. I have this magnificent book called Plenty, Vibrant Vegetable Recipes from London's Ottolenghi – it's all vegetable-based recipes. Written by Yotam Ottolonghi, an Israeli chef/restaurateur/food writer who lives in London, the book is highly recommended. When I go through the pages of this book I think to myself that I could easily become a vegetarian forever if not for my terrible craving for meat. I have nothing against meat if it's organic and grass-fed, and eaten only once in a while, not every day. My body needs meat every now and then. No matter how much broccoli I eat or how many shots of wheat grass I drink, without meat my body feels weak, as if I'm about to faint. The best grass-fed meat in my opinion is sold at Whole Foods at a reasonable price.
This week I was enjoying all the vegetable dishes I cooked for my husband and me. (Both of my opinionated sons won't eat cooked leafy greens and vegetables, such as chard and eggplant). Here are two yummy salads/dishes that I quickly made yesterday for lunch and served with quinoa. They can also be made as a side dish.
Baked Eggplant Salad with Red Onion & Tahini
Ingredients to serve 2
- 1 medium eggplant
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- ¼ red onion
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 420 and line a baking pan with baking paper.
- Dice the eggplant and put the dice onto the lined baking pan. pour the oil, sprinkle salt and pepper on the diced eggplant and rub them on the eggplant. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until eggplants is brown and soft. Every now and then flip the eggplants with a spatula.
- Meanwhile, chop the onion and prepare the tahini.
Lemony Tahini
Ingredients for half cup of tahini
- 1 heaping tablespoon tahini
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water
Put the tahini in a small bowl with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water and stir. Gradually stir in the rest of the water until you get a soft and velvety texture.
Warm Mangold Salad
- 1 Bunch of chard
For the dressing
- 1 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon hot paprika or ground cayenne pepper (optional)
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Salt
- Soak the mangold leaves in cold water for a few minutes. Drain and cut it into thin strips, about an half inch.
- Put the chopped leaves into a large skillet or wok with a few tablespoons of water and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Mix together the dressing ingredients and pour it into the skillet. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, continuously stirring, until everything is mixed well..
- Add the lemon juice, remove from heat and serve. This dish is delicious hot or cold.

file system
In a computer, a file system (sometimes written filesystem) is the way in which files are named and where they are placed logically for storage and retrieval.
NAS management
Looking for something else?
1) In a computer, a file system (sometimes written filesystem) is the way in which files are named and where they are placed logically for storage and retrieval. The DOS, Windows, OS/2, Macintosh, and UNIX-based operating systems all have file systems in which files are placed somewhere in a hierarchical (tree) structure. A file is placed in a directory (folder in Windows) or subdirectory at the desired place in the tree structure.
File systems specify conventions for naming files. These conventions include the maximum number of characters in a name, which characters can be used, and, in some systems, how long the file name suffix can be. A file system also includes a format for specifying the path to a file through the structure of directories.
2) Sometimes the term refers to the part of an operating system or an added-on program that supports a file system as defined in (1). Examples of such add-on file systems include the Network File System (NFS) and the Andrew file system (AFS).
3) In the specialized lingo of storage professionals, a file system is the hardware used for nonvolatile storage , the software application that controls the hardware, and the architecture of both the hardware and software.

Arabic under threat? The Middle East reacts to English influence
Arabic is one of the most widely-spoken languages in the world – which is why it may come as a surprise to hear that some traditionalist Arabs are concerned that the language is now under threat. In the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other Arabic speaking countries, some parents are growing concerned that the emphasis on learning English at an early age is coming at the expense of developing a rich and full knowledge of Arabic.
The rationale behind the shift towards English is that a [...]

When the primer is dry, a coat of Grenadier Pond semigloss paint is rolled over the shelves. This soft, foamy green shade continues the color on two of the wall circle quadrants; the semigloss finish will provide a protective surface for the wood.
When the paint is dry, using an artist brush, the shelving edges are painted Castleton Mist, the same color as the window Plexiglas panels.
While the paint dries, the room is put back together and the window panels are attached with small suction cups.
This once-boring office is now a cool, creative workshop done in just two days using $190 worth of paint.

Temple City Car Wash beautifies auto exteriors with meticulous washes and detailing beneath a cheery-red roof. Certified Meguiar's detailers draw from the shop's 38 years of expertise as they wield soft cloths, spray bottles, and whirring wax buffers during 10-minute express washes or lengthy detailing sessions. Recycled water splashes eco-friendly soap off hoods and guides shampoo suds through interior carpets, and luxe waxes and clay-bar treatments polish paint and stave off oxidation before molding into ornamental hood golems.
With lube and service centers spread across America, Valvoline Instant Oil Change ensures that roads from coast to coast teem with automotive vigor. Certified technicians perform a roster of services, including drive-thru oil changes that allow motorists to arrive without an appointment and remain in their car while Valvoline oils forge a truce between metal parts.
From washes to waxes, the technicians perform everything by hand at Super Kleen Car Wash. Cars can quickly scoot in and out of the garage during the basic wash, which techs top off with a full interior vacuuming, wipe-down, and giant smooch. Meanwhile, more extensive packages, such as the VIP, take cleanings a step further with Armor All treatments, carnauba wax, and Lexol leather conditioner.
The founding family of King's Tire and Wheel Inc. opened their first retail tire shop in 1987. Today, they dot maps of Southern California with distribution centers, getting brand-name tires and wheels onto cars while keeping prices low. But the technicians at King's service stations busy themselves with more than just tires; they also keep cars roadworthy with routine-maintenance services such as oil changes, brake services, and inspirational lectures.
The event planners behind QueenVee Entertainment throw themed bashes that immerse partygoers in elaborate experiences. Founded by CEO Joanna Vargas—a producer, dancer, and choreographer who started her career by staging events such as The King of Pop, a dance-tribute show to Michael Jackson—QueenVee has staged past events such as Phenomena, a mash-up of a dance showcase and a fashion show that benefited Dance for Peace Charity. Ongoing events include booze cruises aboard a three-story Grand Romance cruise ship in the style of a 19th-century steamboat, complete with an open-air top deck and a team of acrobatic Mark Twain impersonators. Further amenities entertain the up to 320 passengers, including two full-service bars, a professional DJ playing over a large dance floor, and a professional photographer who posts images on Facebook. Raffle and door prizes reward attendees with keepsakes, and tables and booths offer respite from the dance floor and a private place to run Y2K safety drills.
Don and Rick Wood, owners of Cooks Collision, can trace their auto-repair roots back to the 1930s. Their grandfather, Clyde, built cars for Ford Motor Company and later started his own body shop, where he passed his knowledge on to his son, Bob. After working as a body-shop manager for Saltnes Volkswagen, Bob took out a mortgage against his family home and purchased Cooks Auto Body, fulfilling his dream of starting his own shop?just like his dad. Today, Don and Rick carry on the family legacy with more than 30 locations, dozens of employees, and one magical vintage racecar. Their ASE-certified mechanics are factory-certified by Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Jaguar, and Volvo, and they repair around 30,000 cars each year.

Camels: God's Gift to the Bedouin
A-Z | Adhan | Arabic | Bookstores | Clothing | Etiquette | Food | Glossary | History | Islam | Living | Newspapers | Pearls | Ramadan | Ruling Family | Sadhew
Camels in Qatar
Ships of the desert, the Bedouin used to say about these ungainly creatures. Ata Alla - God's gift. Evolution has bred them to survive in the harshest of environments, and while they do not have the same turn of speed as their more elegant rival the horse, they can maintain a hefty pace for a far greater distance.
The camel found in Qatar is the dromedary, which, in contrast to its cousin the Bactrian camel, has only one hump. Up close, these creatures are far from ugly, with soft doey eyes and long curly eyelashes give their faces a friendly delicate look which belies their underlying toughness.
Fully grown these creatures can measure more to seven foot in height (from their toes to the tops of their humps) and weigh up to 1600 pounds.
For thousand of years, camels or Jamel in Arabic have been integral to the existence of the Bedouin nomads who inhabited the Arabian peninsula. Indeed the adoption of camels as is likely to have been spurred by the change in climate of the Arabian peninsula around 4000 BC.
(Article continued afte the movie and ads below.)
Movie: Camels Across the Desert - Travels in Many Lands
A film crew follows camels across the Sahara desert in the 1920's.
Camels were far more than beasts of burden to the Bedouin. Their urine, which resembles a thick syrup, was collected by children, and used to wash hair and to tan leather. Their dung, which contains little moisture, was used both to start fires and to line babies nappies. Their hair was used for Sadhew weaving, producing clothes and nappies (add link). Camels in Qatar continue to be used for meat, while its milk contains more nutrition than that of a cow.
But it was as a means of transport in the inhospitable desert that these creatures excelled. Those pretty eyelashes are designed to keep out sand and dust, and their small ears are lined with fur for the same reason. Their feet consist of broad leathery pads which when placed on the ground, spread to stop them from sinking into soft sand. The nose can be close at will to minimise dust inhalation.
The kidneys are extremely efficient hence those dry faeces and thick urine. A camel can survive 25 % dehydration, and can draw moisture from vegetation but when they do drink water, they can consume as much as ten litres a minute. Their humps store fat, not water, which the camel draws upon to provide energy in times of hardship. After a period of time without sustenance, the lump will become withered and floppy, but a few days water and food will soon restore it to a more healthy firmness.
Despite their reputation, camels are often good humoured, although they can be unpredictable. The deep groaning noise they make when they rise which sounds like a protesting moan is actually like the grunt of a weight lifter. Yet Bedouin have told me that a camel will never forget bad treatment, and swear blind that it will wait years for a chance of its revenge.
Listen to the sound of a camel:
Although camels are no longer essential for the survival of the Qatari Bedouin, the Bedouin retain their affection for these creatures. Nowadays, however, many of them employ Egyptian or Sudanese herders to look after their beasts rather than do so themselves.
In Qatar you can see camels for sale at the Whole Sale Market, or while enjoying Camel Racing in Shahinayya. Alternatively, just go for a drive in the desert and the chances are you'll see a herd grazing on the sparse grass.

St. Louis, MO – The city of St. Louis is investigating whether federal money was used to hire a gay-porn actor to perform at a safe sex event.
Two former employees of Blacks Assisting Blacks Against AIDS, or BABAA, say the actor, Edgar Gaines (aka Bobby Blake), stripped and engaged in sexual contact with guests, some as young as 13 years old.
A lawyer for the group says it paid $500 to the actor to speak to a gathering at its executive director's home, but that the actor did not strip or allow himself to be touched.
BABAA paid the actor from a $96,000 dollar grant from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.

Dinner-Table Turkeys Differ Greatly From Their Ancestors
THURSDAY, Nov. 22 (HealthDay News) -- The turkey that makes a special guest appearance on your Thanksgiving dinner table is genetically very distinct from its wild-roaming ancestors, researchers say.
A team at the U.S. Department of Agriculture compared the genetic diversity of modern domestic turkeys and the ancestral wild turkey from Mexico and were surprised by what they found.
Not only do domestic turkeys have less genetic variation than their wild counterpart, they also have less genetic variation than other livestock breeds such as domestic chickens or pigs, according to the study published recently in the journal BMC Genomics.
The reduced genetic variation in domestic turkeys affects body size and breast muscle development, features that are of course important to holiday diners.
"Few people know that the commercial turkeys served at Thanksgiving descended from Mexico, where they were discovered during the Spanish Conquest and transported to Europe," study senior author Julie Long, a research physiologist with the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, said in a Smithsonian Institution news release.
"During the next 100 years, Europeans created many different varieties of the domesticated turkey," Long explained. "It's important to assess the differences between ancient and modern domesticated turkeys in the event that some unforeseen problem might threaten the stability of the commercial turkey lines."
For this study, the researchers compared the genomes of several types of domestic turkeys and the genomes of three South Mexican wild turkeys that were collected in 1899 and became specimens at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
"It is often the case that selection in domestication reduces the level of variation," Rob Fleischer, head of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute's Center for Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics, said in the news release.
"What did surprise us, however, is how well the ancient DNA from the three museum specimens worked to generate the genome sequences needed to determine the genetic variation and structure," he said. "These data and this approach show great promise for determining what genes were involved in the process of turkey domestication."
